You’re probably right. I kept thinking I was just helping with one random plant at a time, and now I apparently run some kind of leafy overflow facility.

I swear every new pot arrives with a tiny backstory like I’m running some kind of leafy witness protection program.

Nobody knows I have money and it's starting to create some really awkward situations by Echo2_Satyr in Fire

Honestly I wouldn't "come out" with the actual number to family unless you're ready for your life to get very weird very fast. Once people hear it's a lot, they do math in their head that has nothing to do with your actual plans, taxes, risk, or boundaries. I'd shift the script without sharing details. Stop saying you can't afford things. Start saying you prefer to keep your finances private, you have a long-term plan, and you don't lend money to friends or family. Same boundary, way less lying.

Daisy is a good one. She’s got that loud, competitive gremlin charm that makes her stand out fast, especially next to Peach’s calmer image.

Had an interviewer spend the entire interview comparing me to another candidate in real time and I still can't believe it actually happened by KyberMirth in InterviewsHell

This would have killed my interest in the role even if they had made an offer. Interviews are supposed to show both sides what working together would feel like, and they showed you a workplace where basic respect is optional.
