Some overheard at work in meme form between coworker (we'll call him Luke*), me, and The Powers That Be (we'll call them Satan.)

*Names changed to protect the innocent

Luke to me:

Satan to coworker:

Coworker tells me he's made yet another plea for them to make me stay...

I explain that contrary to popular belief no matter what they felt I wouldn't be required to stay.  There is no legal indenture applying to me...

He chooses to ignore my delightful joke about indentured servitude...

I then try to get him to focus on training and going over some practical stuff that he needs to know

While thinking...

But helpfully pointing out in an uncharacteristically maternal manner...

and explaining that if he doesn't know what to do just ask a series of basic troubleshooting questions...

and if no joy then escalate...

I even threw in some advice about dealing with end users...

and a little coaching about how I approach embracing new challenges...

Only four more days ...until I get this crap via text and personal email rather than in person at work.

Delightful! Tech support kitty, LOL!

In case it wasn't clear Buffy, you tell a story via memes like nobody else. That's what I found delightful. Your former workplace was anything but. They took assholery to a new level, no compassion whatsoever shown toward you or your son. Enjoy your new job!

      I don’t remember the phrase Tawny Owl being used, but I can remember the woman who would have used that title, as it were.

      Not a fundie- but the other day a Michigan state rep tweeted a picture of a couple buses leaving the Detroit airport, wondering where the “illegal invaders” were being bussed to.

      The “illegal invaders” were the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, who had just arrived in Detroit for their regional semifinal matchup.

      Dude gets exposed and his response is basically, “STFU you communist.”

      He’s also an election denier who has predicted another civil war.

      Erica has two associations for me. One is Erika Shupe, and the other is that it was the name of the “Brown Owl” of my Brownie Guides group when I joined. Brown Owl is the traditional name given to the main leader of a Brownie unit here in the UK. I remember she always had her hair in a single long plait down her back.

      We use Brown Owl for the main leader in Canada too and Tawny Owl for second in command. 

      I am a Brown Owl! In Ireland, but was also a Tawny Owl in the UK. I love being Brown Owl and the whole story that goes with it.

      i think she announced it’d be Amaree,

      My guess was Arrow Canaan on the Baby Names Thread. Her boy names follow an ACC pattern & don't have cutesy spellings. Since there's not much with the aforementioned pattern, that's what lead me to my guess.
