I always make the banana bread.

My Shakespeare teacher in college called it a concordance when we studied Macbeth. There was a full concordance and then concordances for each speaking part. Pretty fascinating stuff.

It’s so satisfying to slide this thing forcefully onto your pole OVER and OVER again, slamming it against the base.

Some companies are doing it to create a hostile workplace to increase attrition. If an employee quits, they don’t have to pay unemployment or severance. Other companies have huge investments in corporate real estate. They have been sitting on short-term loans that are coming due. The property owners are keeping their real-estate values artificially high, but to one wants to rent/lease them, so they aren’t as valuable as in practice as they look on paper. Some companies get tax breaks from cities to put their offices there and will not continue to reap those rewards if their workers are not coming into the city. Don’t let them gaslight you about culture or face time because that has all been debunked. A lot of remote workers are coming in to the office and sitting on Zoom/Teams calls in their cubicles.

Whole Carolina Reaper peppers.
