Happy belated bday @dgmelkin.bsky.social !

I have a default template, which is essentially "no, I will not relocate across the country for this role"

I've had this 😥 I had to book Window Seat Plus apparently

I understand that the training video is a scenario about how to watch out for antitrust and not violate ethics.

If I didn't have that knowledge, though, the video is about how two guys met at a conference bar and hooked up.

All I can say is "You don't have to be ashamed UNNAMED CRIMINAL #1!!"

Update:
We're on the final day of holidays today; checking out later and catching a flight. I'm only on book 6.

I either have to a). Finish this and another book by the end of the day, or b). Lie and say I did if she asks...

I'd recommend both, too!

Sorry for your loss 💔

Does a magazine count? To be fair she likes to skim, then read, then write out stuff she likes from them

Stage 2
Foiled

There was a WH Smith at the gate, but more confectionary than books 😢

I convinced her to bring 2 (a 200% increase)
She opened one beside me now while waiting and promptly fell asleep
