It sometimes feels like this. At work i keep trying to let people help, and every time I do it comes back to bite me in the ass. I don’t WANT to micromanage, but they don’t give enough of a shit or miss things if I don’t basically direct them step by step and constantly followup. It’s exhausting… I miss working with reliable people.

Whenever someone says “in a few years”, I just think “yeah, I hope we live to see a few years from now too…”
If “acus” means that, then i wonder, how does “abacus” mean a thing you count with? Etymology is fascinating :)
Well it took them 50 years to figure out, whereas Adam guessed it immediately.
Yeah, and apparently that phrase dates back to at least a 1526 translation of the Bible. It’s old.
Fun fact, the “Quick” part of it is an old timey synonym of “Living”. So basically, Living Sand. It’s the same thing with Quick Silver (mercury).
Me neither, and I guess they didn’t need them all in the end!
That was Pixar though
I dropped it at the beginning of either 4 or 5. They apparently had a whole side story on some other platform involving one of the main characters, which had some events that happened between seasons, but they didn’t really explain it existed. So it felt super jarring and confusing walking into the new season, and I was just like “i’m done”.
That lady looks pained to be winking.
4.5 at this point.
I definitely feel that… last week I was asked a question by a client regarding our status as a “local business”. I had no idea, and so I asked my coworker, who tried to look into it a little online, and came to the conclusion we probably weren’t one. So i told them we weren’t, and they were like “That’s strange, because when your company filed the original paperwork you said you were”. Weird of them to ask when they already knew the answer, right?
Well the real kicker is my office manager was CC’d on all of these emails, and after all this, I decided to ask her if she knew if we were considered a local business. She just said “yes, we are”. All I could think of was “Well why didn’t you chime in and say that at the beginning? Did I seriously have to specifically ask you to respond?!”
I didn’t actually say that, but I really wanted to…
