I got a new job this week, and my office has no windows and only artificial lighting. Anyone have tips on how to decorate to liven it up? Or know what plants to get that don't require a lot of light?

I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative*

@lgabbert Going based on how a title or name sounds rather than how it's written has caused me so much confusion 😂

My sister found a Wayland Hand book in her library and asked if she should check it out. I said yes. I did NOT however realize that Wayland Hand was his name, and the collection at USU was not in fact the Wayland hand collection, because the collection is still on call cards.
