It was a mistake, a prior employee from decades ago didn't seem to have an ashtray.

While working in a local archive on a cataloging contract, I found a used cigarette with neon lipstick from the mid-1980s in an acid-free box. I had to run it up to the project lead to make sure it wasn't a museum item filed with the collection's papers by mistake.

She's lovely and very festive. 🎄

That's been my experience as well. It's beyond frustrating.

I have frequent sleep attacks once the place reaches altitude so I imagine my forehead will be dented from the chair in front of me.
