I can't really be anything else. It's far too ingrained now. I'm sure I'll do fine, but I don't think I'll be able to answer a single technical question (if asked) and I've literally never done anything resembling what I'll be doing outside of a few preliminary inquiries I ran as a navy officer.

My last job interview was to be the assistant manager for a convenience store. Before that it was a printer/computer repair shop. What the gently caress do I know about depositions and medical malpractice?

People run all the gently caress over and tackle constantly, it’s like a weird cousin of rugby and American football. I had no idea how it was played, but I drank a lot and watched some large, gangly motherfuckers put the hurt on each other and it was great.

Fun fact...its called Kick and Giggle in New Zealand.


But also. It was invented by Irish convicts who were sent over to Australia when it was colonized. They play a kinda-not-quite-similar game in Ireland which is just "Gaelic Football" however none of the convicts could reliably follow or remember all the rules so just kinda came up with their own ones which eventually turned into Aussie Rules.

That just means they’re using security cameras. What state are you in? In some cases it’s required by law.

A 60 desk office is a normal setting for security cameras, what’s the big deal?

Also there's probably like 6 cameras, none of which are pointed at your desk, so when the god damned janitorial crew steals YET ANOTHER set of earbuds, no one can or will do anything because the cameras are a farce and only set up because regulations monitor 24 surveillance of the floor entrances.

She's no dainty eater, though, she is a food thief and hog who routinely gets up on the counters even though she's fully aware it is Not Allowed, in order to try to scavenge even the smallest crumb or fragment that might be lingering there.

Maybe you can exercise your cat? If you get get her to sprint up and down a hallway after a red dot or something that might help after a while.

Also this just reminded me that at my old job someone important lost a briefcase that they thought they had left in their office at work over the weekend and they started reviewing tape for it and while doing so found out that someone was getting drunk and then coming into the office and sleeping in a partner's office. His employment did not last.

Yeah, even if it is monitored by an alarm company it's nearly impossible to catch poo poo as its happening.

My office not having a camera in it owns though.
