Im pretty sure at least 1 of my plants will be dead when I return to the office

I'm pretty sure my plants have been dead for months, but I keep watering them. I'm not good at plants.

I believe my company does regardless of state or role since we have government contracts.
I'd have to ask a new hire for confirmation tho

Yeah, I used to work for a defense contractor who has offices in Denver. When CO legalized weed, they sent out a company email that said it's still against federal law and the company zero-tolerance policy would not be changing. Still fireable on the first offense. But that was years ago, no idea if the policy has changed since then.

Was talking to my landlord, and he awkwardly was asking if I liked it there/he brought up renewing the lease, and I'm hoping they'll let me stay. Tbh, I wasn't quite sure after the conversation since he was mentioning his other leases and I kinda got the feeling he was trying to see if I was leaving, but also mentioned that they don't list the apartment I'm in anywhere since it's inside their house. It's prob not the cheapest/best apartment I could find in the area, and there are luxury apartment complexes going up that are priced similar, but I like that it's in a house with just the other couple (who are the landlords), it has an alarm system, and it's close enough to walk to a huge majority of downtown Indianapolis. Plus it's furnished! Which is a huge draw for me, since I'm still not sure if I'm going to stay in Indiana or not once my three year contract is completed, and I don't feel like having to buy a bed/mattress/couch/etc. if I'm just going to have to chuck it in a few.

Maybe they are hoping that you'll stay because they need the income and were just fishing for info.

EDIT: Surprise TOP :bananalama:

My mom's side of the family are intense green thumbs, like, my grandma has multiple orchids that just keep reblooming and blooming, and my mom always has the garden well organized and beautiful. Me? I tend to kill cactus and everything else in-between. I love too much, my mom says, as I kill another kalanchoe (while the other begins to grow sideways and no longer looks like what it's supposed to).

@jean15paul_PE I'm don't think they are hurting for income. They're both real estate agents for higher value homes, and they own an apartment complex of 12 units, but the apartment I rent is in the house/they don't like listing it, so I think it was the husband just wanting to get all the leases in order before he goes to the boat in the Caribbean for a couple of months. I told him I'd like to stay, so I'm hoping his wife is cool with it to. Once I get into a place, I don't like moving, which is why I'm hoping I can just stay where I am for 3-years before I have to make a decision of either buying a house or moving to a new place for a job.
