Dinner with Boyo's fam, it's the end of an era for them and I'm really happy for them.

How is everyone going tonight?

Sounds like a big deal. ๐Ÿ“

I'm human enough to think work tomorrow is possible, but not actually keen on the idea.

I cried on my way to work this morning, I'm still trying to decide if it's just a) self doubt b) genuine distaste c) already sick of having to wrangle young men that clearly don't want to work.

Either way, we can do this Cat!

You got a bunch of fucknut kids in the warehouse?

One young man takes any excuse to vanish (he's been around a few years), one young man seems a touch overwhelmed by everything I'm trying to teach him. Which I get, nothing in that place is straight forward, but you don't need the big forklift for lifting jute rolls!!!

Oh Hon. mega hugs from PickleTwistie Sometimes young men are their own worst problem. Don't avoid the word bitch.

God I love PickleTwistie!!!

Also, I haven't been playing PoGo a whole lot lately because I kind of got burnt out on Pikachu, but today I fiiiiiiinally had enough candy to evolve my Toxel and I was all "if this evolves into one I've already caught in raids, I'm so done with this game" and lo and behold... it turned into the one I didn't have. So the game is working to keep me!

I've not done Toxel yet. Only just evolved Snom, now working on Larvestar. The 400 candy critters are MEAN. And so is the tram to work for being just fast enough the distance doesn't count.
