My boss gets a call about something. He leaves the room with the two people who are responsible for said thing and comes in my office to have me pull it up on my computer. I clearly state, not my thing, but pull it up for him. He keeps going back and forth to them and me talking about it/asking questions. Finally he is standing in my doorway asking if one way is the right way to do a task regarding it moving forward, staring right at me. So I ask, "why are you asking me?".

Jesusita learn the tasks you assigned to your employees.

I think the internet will tell you that everything is poison to cats.

According to the internet, everything is. Seriously, the list I found is a mile long. I'm afraid to buy anything but a spider plant, and the spider plant ruined a table and took over half the dining room before I exorcised it.

I can confirm no ill effects to the cats from destroying my snapdragons, although if they'd spread just a little more potting soil around the living room I might have evicted them.

Here you go, Zen [link]

From the ASPCA, I trust them. You will have to laminate yourself. Here's the source, btw [link] I just skipped past the long list of toxic plants.

Good departmental meeting just now. My coworkers gave me warm fuzzies. We have an employee of the month type thing for Operations, and a bunch of people said that they have nominated me for it and will again which was so sweet. Not gonna lie, I do not always feel appreciated by the company, but by my coworkers, yes.

Aw, that's nice!

It is!

Also, the fact that I brought in a king cake last year but not this year came up, but in the context of whoever got the baby shirked their responsibilities, not that I fell down on the job. Because another department had something like a king cake, not really as part of the meeting, but still.

Thanks, -t. Still a mile-long list! I should just make a list of plants I'm likely to buy and cross-check.

Roses seem to be okay though. Baby's breath, tiger lily, and snapdragons are on the toxic list. Perhaps Matt's cats were simply made stronger by the snapdragon.

CATNIP is on the toxic list. Come on now.

Ffffffuck. Just found out a good friend has brain cancer: grade 4 glioblastoma, which is apparently quite aggressive. (She's my age. Jesus christ.) The numbers are not good, although I know Ginger would tell me that any five-year survival statistics are at least five years out of date.

I know a few people have asked this over the years, but I never did mark the post, so I'm asking it again: What are some good things to send in a care package to someone who is going through chemo and radiation? She has already had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as they could get.

Oh no, glioblastoma is a bad one.

Oh god, that's terrible, Kate.
