- Y’all, it’s Patrick! They found Patrick!
- The truth is a lonely place, that's why so many prefer the company of their own delusions.
- I hide behind sarcasm because my inner monologue is a bit too brutally honest for polite society.
- This is what tired and done with everybody’s shit looks like 🤣
- Me: 4 monitors? Boss: Yeah, you’re going to need them. Me: Why? Boss: This will be abundantly clear in the very near future. Me: I know I’m handling all of the IT and the admin half of the marketing, but damn.
- Being able to wear scrubs to work is like being able to wear pajamas to work 🤣
- Yesterday started out great and then took a turn. I love my new job, however, about 3 hours into my day, my mom called. I almost didn’t answer, but I had a free minute. She told me that my sister passed in her sleep. We weren’t close, she was my half-sister, but we were getting closer. She was 62.
- When you get a call from your former employer asking if you can come up to the office because nobody knows what they’re doing… I gave you almost 3 weeks notice. You took it for granted. I’m not your slave anymore, so fuck you, pay me. My consulting fee is $100 an hour, 2 hour minimum. Otherwise…

- I had to do a background check for my new job and good news y’all, I’m not on any global watch lists 🤣
- When you get a new job and you get to send your letter of resignation on Friday the 13th…

- What could go wrong? This man is a fucking nightmare. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...
- Sooo… I was told to expect an offer letter today or tomorrow.

- So, I’ve been looking to change careers and got a call for an interview. Things must have really changed because every interview I’ve ever gone to has been in an office. This one, she said the CEO wants to meet me, so I’m meeting them for coffee at some bougie coffee place in the morning 🤣
- The amount of people who are absolutely giddy at the prospect of the President turning the US Military on US citizens is appalling. This is not the United States I served. Not at all.
- The pupper has acquired a new skill. At 16 weeks old he can jump from the floor OVER the back of the couch without touching it. Here he is with the fully grown 100lb house hippo (lab/Weimaraner mix). He’s gonna be a monster 🤣 Again, only 16 weeks old 🤣 Lord give me strength.
- I am a descendant of a Founding Father, a Daughter of the American Revolution, a US Navy Veteran, and the first woman in my family to serve. Some call me honorable or patriotic. Trump calls me scum and an enemy of the people because my loyalty lies with this country and her people, not with him.
- No, I haven’t noticed a difference really. It’s still a pain in the ass to get an appointment if you need to be seen quickly. Still have to wait for specialist appointments, etc. Nothing has really changed as far as my experience goes.
- @jaxpersists.bsky.social VA is being cut hard. Is it affecting ur care?
- I think I might just die.

- What kind of fucked up parallel universe have I slipped into? Is he fucking high?
- From a 5lb ball of fluff at 6 weeks old to a 15lb menace at 11 weeks old. If he keeps growing like this he’s going to be huge 🤣 That’s a 5 year old full grown lab he’s laying next to, by the way 😩
- My sister and I (both raised Catholic) are going straight to hell. She sent me this and asked if I wanted some Christ Krispy treats to mourn the Pope’s passing. I laughed, and now I have an image of my dad in heaven profusely apologizing to Jesus for his daughters’ behavior🤦🏻♀️
- How fast this little shit is growing… 3/23 (6 weeks old) - 4/20 (10 weeks old) 😳
- 6 weeks old vs 9 weeks old. 🥰
- The boys 🤣
- Gambit, also answers to “Booger” or “Bear.” 1st picture, 6 weeks old, 8lbs. 2nd picture, this morning, 8 weeks old, 11 pounds 🤣 Also a picture of him laying next to our 3 year old beagle mix this morning for perspective 🤣
- Waking me up at 3am every morning like clockwork by pulling on my hair is a pretty good start 🤣
- We’ve chosen violence. That poor stick 🤣
- Gambit and Ash. BFFs for life 🤣
- So, after much discussion, his name is Remy LeBeau, but you can call him Gambit, and he’s about to make a name for himself 🤣
- So, let’s document the little booger’s growth, shall we ❤️ 7 weeks old, 8lbs (at least by my home scale)
- Meet Obi (for Obi-Wan Kenobi because I had a dog that looked just like this years ago and his name was Chewy 🤣). He’s a 6 week old Bernedoodle ❤️
