Holding off as until last day is confirmed, IT being near end of facility teardown.

Retrenchment benefit(?) is like a year of salary, so there’s that.

Just glad that I received news with teammates and rest of company, can’t imagine getting this on my own.

Company folded, being layed off sucks.

Lolz on imgur autotagging 🦵 as NSFW.

It was itchy from day 5, and I do love me that crunch(?) of long~sh beard against sharp blade.

That super techy soap bag is awesome, that would do away with…

1. toilet paper core wicking moisture from bar soap

2. waterproof mess barrier of valved coffee bag.

I might have that matador soap bag in my Amazon wishlist , but biweekly coffee bean delivery’s have me stocked on valved coffee bags.

edit: can’t words

Been stuffing bar soaps in toilet paper core and sticking em inside used coffee bean bags with valve.
