Yeah I am more of a DIYer, but I would say that it is a lot of work. The worst is keeping the fucking things alive after it's all set, keeping leaves and other detritus out of landscaped areas, etc. It is something you have to fuck with for hours every week if you want it to continue to look good. I really can't stand that commitment but :ohwell:
Yep, the initial hard work is really only the beginning. Weeding, cleaning leaves, and fucking WATERING is a massive time suck. I can't stand it, and it's why we're keeping this house more natural. I blew and hour PER DAY at the last house weeding, watering, cleaning, etc :digust:

Here, Just the veggie plants need water, and we only have a few planters by the front that need constant clean up. An hour per week at most.
Yep, the watering blows and is so dumb and wasteful, IMO. Just let plants grow that only need the amount of water that comes naturally here. This area is extremely green and lush left on its own, why mess with that.

Fuck. Not sure mom is going to make it through the weekend. About to drive up there.
Boss was super understanding and told me to take all the time I need and not worry about charging any time off. Just have my laptop and log in a few times a day to check if anything urgent comes up.

I'm thinking about saying fuck all dis shit and walking to the corner store to get some beer.

I have another interview with Audinate on Tuesday :popcorn:

I figured they had extended an offer to someone else and were waiting for that to come through before telling me no officially, but I guess they decided to extend the interview process. This one is a 30 minute meeting with the Product Manager in Australia who oversees the product I would be responsible for selling.

You've missed pages of W211 and W212 worshipping/discussion. You're like the fat lady showing up to sing after everybody partied and went home.
