@junipersky Honestly it’s wonderful having them to entertain each other. I’ll try and get pairs every time I’m looking now.

I low key judge the people that complain when we have bonded pairs, and even more when they accused of of trying to scam them out of money.
Honestly, the absolute worst part of being involved in animal rescue is people. Just straight up people.
I’ve been involved in it on and off for most of my adult life and this past weekend, the rescue we recently adopted from lost two dogs to deaths that were horrible and graphic and entirely preventable if people weren’t such monstrous pieces of shit. One of those dogs I’d spent the last three months partially funding, given his extensive rehabilitation needs, and getting regular updates from the hospital where he was healing.
The amount of ugly crying I’ve done in the last 48 hours is ridiculous. People are the worst animal on the planet.

Buying an audiobook of your favorite book and it being narrated by someone so disinterested they just left the stutters and stammers in the final version.

Dear Neighbors -
I understand that you have tiny humans that need to be entertained to keep them from devolving into shrieking little goblins, but.
BUT.
When you are watching Encanto at such a high volume that I can clearly make out every word of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” through the walls, at 8:15 in the fucking morning, you have guaranteed that I am going to have that earworm in my brain for literally an entire day.
I will remember your cruelty.
Sincerely,
Aria -
My company renewed their contract with the state health department to keep testing Covid till next spring.
Sigh. Three years. I was really excited that we weren’t going to renew after the current contract expired.

Speaking of small humans–
I realize that it is hot. I realize that it is summer. I realize that I live in an apartment complex and that means that people are gonna make noise. But I swear to god the kids upstairs are playing hopscotch over my head, and it’s really annoying.

“Over the hill. Is that forty or fifty?”
“It’s fifty, it has to be fifty, that’s when you get the grey balloons and stuff, right? If it was 40 I would be over the hill.”
(This is an IT meeting, so there was about thirty seconds of silence here.)
“Sunny, I have some bad news for you.” (They used my other nickname tho.)
“…”
“…”
“You guys are all babies and I hate you.”

@IoleRae When my dad turned 40, my older brothers did a big presentation with one of those giant easel sketchbooks. The presentation was called
Things That Are Older Than Dad
It included entries such as the following:
- Dirt
- The Earth
- Dinosaurs
- Time
- God
- Granddad
I really hope my parents still have that sketchbook somewhere.

That is amazing.

“Over the hill. Is that forty or fifty?”
It’s not measured in years. It’s measured by when you get your first chronic injury in your knee or lower back.

@GF Shit, I’ve been over the hill since I was 27, then.

@Testament Nurse, or athlete?
-
@GF Neither. Soldier.
