Baseline environmental mapping surveys

First read started in 2003 and went til 2007 when Jordan died ending on book 11.

Waited for Sanderson to finish it. Started again from book 1 in 2011ish, finished it all by 2014/2015… While doing my M.Sc lol.

Started it again in 2020? Got almost all the way though book 9 and set it down.

Picked up Malazan Book of the fallen on audio books and got 75% book 8 and couldn’t hack it - too abstract, to wide and long of arcs for shitty characters I didn’t care for.

Now I am starting the wheel again. I’m going to skim book 9/10 for relevant parts this time around fully skip the hunt for that dumb bitch

You’re right, and I’m not one to talk, really. The amount of squashed, shitty lunches you eat doing bush work is astronomical.

Loose fit

Mom?

Semi-related: Nordic winter is an exceptional atmospheric black metal band. They use this image on one of their albums as a cover.

Highly recommend checking them out.

Comedic genius

I’m dead

How do Yakuza speak?

Good, good, let the hate for the capitalist system that exploited them flow though you.

I’m no commie, but there has to be another way, and we cannot let them do things like this again - though things appear to be trending this way lately.

Try planting oysters in the soil though, lmao. You are right all around; no one is using isopods to remediate. You can use some plants, like sunflower, and I believe hemp, but you have to remove them from the system - it isn’t alchemy.

Trump’s comic can with only the first 4 panels and he missed he point of the comic

We adopted a hybrid model. I’m in a technical role and most of my team is all very far away from me (1200 km). Some are in my local office however, but I don’t really work with them. Thus, I promptly ignored the emails encouraging us to return

Travel to my office is 35 mins; 45 to an hour in winter. No thanks. I do exceptional work, get my shit done, mentor juniors, and was hired on covid. You can drag me back to office kicking and screaming.

I’ll go if there is a reason for me to go: in-person client workshop? I’m there and I’m there early. Big wigs are in town and want to meet the team? I’m first in line to shake hands. Im not, however, returning to the office for the wonderful conversation at the urinal. I don’t project manage or people manage. Give me your garnliest technical issues, and I’ll lead a small team to complete them, but I’m not signing timesheets or pushing corporate messages so I don’t need to rub elbows with people.

Now if you’ll excuse, the basement isopods are getting lonely

I said what I said.

I don’t give a shit if it’s mother Theresa slobbing my job, as long as I get their number and they’re game to do it again.

Call me bb.

I’m with you. I used to use a lot more parentheses, but the break is cleaner. I opt for en dashes, though, because I find too em dashes to be too long. That could just be a MSWord preference because I don’t distinguish on other platforms.

I’m working on it, but a lot of my issues stem from repetitive motion injuries.
