@LyceeFruit PE, I love it when animals have weird names!  I mean, if the pet responds to it, where it the harm in it?  Though I did confuse my vet when we brought P2 in with Cloud.

I mean we call our dog, Moo most of the time 

I like calling her Marcie around people who don't know I have a dog so it sounds like I have a misbehaved, asshole child

Well, that’s certainly an improvement over other names I’ve been called...

Yea I spent a lot of time in field with old school construction crews. Curse you out, call you every name in book. But on plus side, I have a really thick skin now.

Once were waiting for someone to come open gate.  Waited at least 30 min. Crew foreman tells person that shows up he was getting ready to use master key. Foreman holds up a pair of bolt cutters.

...we had an outside cat named Baileys.  Like the drink.  Because outside cats are named after food items (a family tradition).  I think our neighbors just thought we drank a lot since we were always yelling Baileys with joy in late afternoon/evening.

I ran 6mi last night (after doing C25k at lunch with Moo & Boyfriend).
It's been weeks since I've run that far. My endurance is shit and it's hard not to compare current self to old self that used to be a lot faster.

I know I'll get back to it and we're in the middle of a pandemic. But 2020 was supposed to be my year of running. I basically started from scratch but with injuries from  sitting for so much of 2019 to pass the PE. its been a struggle bus

We had an outside cat when I was a kid. Gram called her Baby. 

Baby was not feral and was going to become an inside cat. But when Gram brought her to the vet for vaccines & an exam, Baby had cancer and was put down. 

Gram has another outside cat - not feral but not wicked friendly. He looks just like Baby but with an ear tip & janky eye. I don't know that she's named him even though she built him a hut & has been feeding him for 2 years.

We have had many outside cats after we moved to the house when I was 4.  Always one at a time, but fairly continuous.  Most of the time, if the cat made it through a season and wasn't a dick, they ended up turning into an indoor cat.  That's how the first cat Mr. T came to be (ugly Tom cat that would kill families of squirrels for us).  P2 is the most 'recent' who has been allowed in the house.  She was a lean mean fighting/killing machine when she showed up in February while my parents were on vacation in Hawaii.  We were pretty much sure she was eating beech nuts.  Now she eats 1.5 cans of food in the morning and evening (she eats her can and the rest of the other cat's), takes over the queen size bed, and waits patiently for bacon. She is of similar body shape to Moo.

New outside cat, Mr. James Tuxy, is 'not our cat' (as per my dad), and he's unfixed, so he's prob not coming into my parent's house.  (Please note, I had moved out, which is why Mr. Tuxy is not named after a food item).

Nothing like Nori (roomba) rolling around while you're on a call... my 10$ headphones with a mic picked her up very clearly...

Am I hungry?  Or am I just avoiding work?  Another tale of JK stuck in the office and avoiding the main facility.

Okay,  I gotta tell y'all about THE GREAT SUCCULENT MYSTERY.

So I was out of work for 3 weeks and one of my co-workers was minding my succulent plants at work for me. They were in her office in her window. She left the company, her last day was the last day before I was supposed to come back to work. Well, work decided we all got to work from home starting the following Monday, so I didn't go back in. Our Admin Assistant is in the office, to receive packages and answer the phones. 

She asked me today if I had come in and picked up my plants. I told her no, that ex-coworker left them and asked new PM to keep an eye on them. Admin asked new PM if she'd seen them, new PM said they weren't there. Admin got upset and thought someone stole them, I texted ex-coworker and let her know that the plants were MIA. She also got upset, and asked new PM herself if she had seen them.

Admin got further upset after I texted another plant-loving coworker to ask if she had taken them home and I was told no. Meanwhile, I'm laughing my butt off because it's just some plants. I suggest Admin sends out an email to the office asking if anyone took them home. At this point, I start laughing so hard I'm crying.

Turns out, one of the nice accounting guys saw them in the office and didn't want them to die. I am howling with laughter, and send him an email saying thank you. 

 And thus the GREAT SUCCULENT MYSTERY is solved.

ETA: Ooh, tops with my plant work drama!

You're welcome! Hopefully it's as funny to others as it was to me.

I like to imagine that he has never talked to you prior to this, and he's not actually a 'plant guy', but he felt bad that they were going to be another victim of the rona.  XD

I have talked to him, but I'm not sure if he's really a 'plant guy'. My other accountant friend says that accountants are plant people, though.
