If I have to see one more dumbass news post about that lady who thinks a shark got their stingray pregnant I'm going to give in and start getting real snarky on their organization facebook page. This will change nothing and it looks like they're just deleting naysayers but oohhhmygod I've never wanted to go "no it didn't. you're a fuckin dumbass" so bad

#work adventures #is it parthenogenesis aka the well documented thing in elasmobranchs #or is it an impossible cross breeding between animals that arent even in the same order???? #wow we just dont know!!! better go to the news about it!!!!!!

This Boston terrier came in wearing a little doggy T-shirt today because of a rash, so of course my coworker and I just HAD to recreate the iconic Marilyn Monroe picture. How'd we do?

getting a Google chat from a coworker to meet them by the lake to complain about our boss is the closest I'll ever come to scheming against the lord in a fantasy novel

#work adventures #insert a cut away of me trying to explain to my boss that no us gettingna reputation on campus is not a good thing

still thinking about the man who asked me for "regular tea with milk" at work yesterday and when i asked what he meant by "regular tea" he just looked at me like i'm stupid and repeated "regular" and i said "black then?" and he said "i don't know. regular tea. rooibos."

#i was listing the teas we have starting with the basics and he was like #i want REGULAR tea #with MILK #and i was like???? IN WHAT WORLD REGULAR TEA EXISTS. AND IF WE HAD TO ASSIGN ONE TEA THE NAME REGULAR I'D GO FOR BLACK OR GREEN I GUESS #BUT ROOIBOS #girlie what #anyways #i love my job #it was hilarious #work adventures #tea's ramblings

i was in a zoom meeting (cameras off) with my team at work (about 15 people on the call) yesterday (tuesday)

meeting was informal (and included discussion of easter) and at the end my boss asked if anyone had anything fun going on this week

i decided to share that passover is wednesday night and that i’m excited for it

normally boss would ask follow-up questions (if i’d said i was doing an easter egg hunt there would definitely have been lively conversation)

instead boss sputtered for a bit and then said “happy..good for…i’m excited for you?” and everyone else stayed on mute. she ended the meeting almost immediately after.

honest to god you’d think these gentiles had heard me announce i’d be snacking on christian babies this weekend. and some of them might believe that! (they live in a very conservative area in wisconsin, i’m in minneapolis)

at least i got to make them uncomfortable for once instead of the other way around 😇

#yes i am job hunting #work adventures #i’ve gotten similar reactions to just mentioning my partner #i try to not let it get me down and instead draw power from their discomfort #at being reminded not everyone is like them #there are jewish dykes on your staff. live with it. #(yes i am worried this will somehow bite me in the ass but again: i am job hunting) #jumblr #i have one coworker in office who is hostile to me and she’d previously said that mentioning passover is ‘political’ but easter is neutral #her last day is friday. i am glad to see her leave.

I'm going to liveblog a simulation again because it's too boring for me otherwise.

Students are scared to touch the patient. It's so cute.

Me setting up a three-month plan for a new coworker while "i will make a man out of you" is stuck in my mind:

coral aquarists are all ADHD introvert messes I swear to god. there was a zoom meeting last week with a small group of us planning an article. first 20 minutes of the meeting was spent on all of us rummaging around our computer files going "UUHHH wait I think I- uuhhHhhHh hang on- wait no dang - !!" because no one had the editing enabled document on hand ready to go

#work adventures #came to mind now bc i texted my boss who is also a coral person asking if he could handle a media thing today #and he immediately said sure. then more than half an hour later he went ' #'thats next week' #we both have been in the email chain scheduling it for a month now

At the doggy daycare where I work, we do daily wellness checks in our playrooms. Usually just a quick "wellness check in medium room, all dogs are chill," or something like that, posted to our work group chat.

Yesterday I decided to get creative with it.

Recent changes/management restructuring at work have me very surly

#love how management & above people can get slotted into a new manager/director role #but it’s the miserable underlings that actually make the department work who have to apply and do the requisite paperwork #personal #work adventures

So funny to work in a room with a window on the door so when i prepare my stuff at the beginning of the day I can hear the students in the corridor pretty clearly (I don't think they realize I can hear them) and they look at me then say stuff like

That's our examiner?? (why, yes I am)

???? is that an examiner or a student?? (third time in two weeks i've been assumed to be a kid)

Oooh they look nice 🥺 (awww)

And you can also hear them pray to get this or that text and too bad guys this stuff has been decided days ago but also y'all are all wishing for the same one and I can't do that or else y'all would all have gotten Verlaine

#part of me is like if everyone is asked about the same text it'll be representative of the class as a whole #but the other part is like students communicate on what they got and if they identify the pattern if there's one #then it's over and the second half will be prepared #and the first part of me screams because that's just an excuse and i just love verlaine #work adventures
