Take a deep breath.

I shouted for joy when I read this great justice.

"Uber and Lyft to pay $328 million for stealing $ from their drivers"

"Of the incalculable amount of money stolen from drivers by Uber and Lyft through various accounting shenanigans, $328m will be paid back to them..."

" . . in what New York Attorney General Letitia James called the largest wage-theft settlement her office has ever secured."

Applicable EVERYWHERE.

Being asked why you're late to work after lunch on the weekend, during your Out Of Office week.

When senior coworkers buy you lunch after a disaster of a company meeting where you were impossibly thrown under the bus and everyone is in awe at the audacity of the notion.

I totally forgot about this year's pumpkin carving contest...

Lunch today:::

Quesadillas with dinosaur chicken nuggets instead of lunch meat. Carolina reaper and cayenne pepper for flavor.
