I joined a yoga studio because I'm old and can't move but I can't stop crying during shavasana and when I leave I have to sit in my car because I feel like I've been doing ayahuasca for an hour.

Don't tell anyone I told you this.

The amount of times I write some stupid shit and it ends up being the post that starts the next mobile page is unfair.

The A/C is broken at work. It was 92 degrees inside the building today.
I was in a mood and had to stay because I had two very important meetings today with people who traveled a long way.

How do I teach a puppy to leave the cat food alone?
We keep the cat dish in the top bunk bed (it’s like a loft/fort up there). Our last dog was huge and old and couldn’t climb the steps. Puppy discovered the cat food yesterday and keeps sneaking up there today.

I would either install a cat flap in the door to the room with the car food or install a gate across the doorway. Cat will be able to go over or through a gate.

Yeah, in my experience there is NO way to teach a dog not to eat food of any kind that is left unattended.  So if the food is always available to the cat, you need to come up with a way to keep the dog from getting to it.

In my experience, you have to explain to the puppy that it's cat food.

This puppy is crazy smart so I’m actually hoping he figures out that he isn’t allowed up there before I have to build barriers!

Just a heads up. Some dogs also like to eat cat shit. Ask me how I know. (We have had to turn our litter boxes around backwards.)

And this is one reason why I change my mind every time I think about getting a dog!!

Yeah the old dog loved it. We had an awesome cabinet that hid the litter box but it broke last week so I need to replace.

I had to rescind a job offer today. The guy went into great detail about his multiple degrees in his resume and interview. When we gave him the conditional offer we let him know we were going to run an educational background check. He said okay. Guess who has exactly zero degrees? If he had been honest we probably would have still hired him because he was good. The hiring manager can't get around the lying.
