I had a work anniversary this week. Three years at the college. I didn't really know the date I started, just remember it was summer of '21. But a higher up, who is three rungs above me on the org chart, started emailing out work anniversary announcements as they occur.
I think most feel these anniversary emails are kind of lame, and don't we get enough emails? No doubt, the higher up thinks it's morale building or such. Anyway, my work anniversary happened to fall on the same date as Boss's. Three years for me, TWENTY-FRICK'N-FOUR for Boss.
We marveled at his working there for 24 years, in different capacities anyway.
"I was in 5th grade when you started", commenced Kitty.
After that, we all pondered and chimed in
"I'd just gotten my Associates degree", from Sarge.
"I was home with three little kids - one of them a newborn", my contribution.
"I wasn't born yet..."
Yeah, that would be Mango. Not even born yet! Well, she was at least a fetus.
I streamed "Baby Reindeer" on Netflix while doing boring tasks around the house, and finished this week. Seen it? Party Girl recommended it to me, and it turned out to be different than I expected. Got pretty deep and dark, but kept me interested.
Now the real-life "Martha" is suing Netflix, but that's another story.
I thought it was well acted, particularly the actress who portrayed Martha, but I can't really say if I liked the series or would recommend it. It gets dark and creepy, and the main character - who played himself, as it's a true story about him - was so often stupid. Do I like him? Feel empathy? Mmmm, dunno.
The story is more than about Martha, the stalker. It goes back to "Donny" being groomed and sexually assaulted by an older man Donny thought was trying to help with his career, and how that messed Donny up for, maybe, ever.
Make smart decisions, people!
Oh well. Played in the sketchbook some this week. Fat bird and a face.

Congrats. I think that was nice he sent them out. Brings back memories.
emails marking time- gifts speak louder! He could have sent you a bowl of peaches or something.
Love the chubby bird, how can it fly? It must only eat marshmallows.
I've heard things about Baby reindeer that made me stay away.
That frazzled woman you drew is how I feel.You peeping in the windows?
Chatty, I suppose it's nice to send the work anniversary emails. He mispelled my name. Figures.
Linda Sue, a bowl of peaches. Now you're talkin'!
Peggy, Baby Reindeer is not for everyone. It was only 7 episodes, but I was pretty creeped out by the 7th.
Hoping for frazzle free!
I haven't watched that show but some youtubers I watch reviewed it episode by episode. I might see what they say before I delve in. I don't like TV as much as I used to. I prefer movies.
Allstarme79, I can see the show being good for discussion/vlogging as it is thought provoking. I tend to "watch" tv shows while I'm doing other things.
I think it's kind of nice to have work anniversaries acknowledged. It's interesting to find out how long people have been doing things. At the moment, I'm still the younger part of the office (not sure how much longer that will last!) with a boss that started in the profession a year before I was born and a co-worker who started in the profession ten years before I was born.
