Today is Employee Appreciation Day the whole world over, and to drive home the power of recognition and appreciation, I spent a few days talking to my coworkers about how being recognized feels for them and heard some great things.

@PleasantKenobi The Target my partner works at has taken all but the $5 packs off the floor and now sells the bigger ones for 1 hour on 1 day of the week.

Because they were STALKING employees and following them to their cars.

Why, indeed.

@itsrhondabitch @KristaJacobsen @CarrieinFbx @jenellingsworth @bessbell We played it in elementary in the late 90s/early 00s and the entire playground would get in on it sometimes. We had lines of like 30 kids on either side and we’d rush in groups and it was ridiculous and amazing.

Screw dodgeball, but I miss red rover

@dmrehn @bessbell I had a teacher take a point off a perfect paper because she decided I spelled “prerogative” incorrectly and just didn’t bother to check.
She gave me the point back but only AFTER she made fun of me for even wanting it in the first place.

I told my friend that I'm emotionally "hitting a wall" and she said "Sometimes walls are there so we can lean on them and rest."

I had to write PHP for my MA thesis.

Which meant that I got a friend who works in IT to write it for me, because I absolutely could not for the life of me figure it out as a noob. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@goodreads I’m rereading Cailín R. Kiernan’s The Drowning Girl. It’s such a perfect example of an unreliable narrator and it is delightfully spooky.
