That's a piece of art that was installed for the 50th anniversary of this office. Oh! Oh! On the topic of LinkedIn cringe, once they shenan, they'll shenan again. Everybody had to attend a mandatory Bible study because that supervisor was a minister and it was approved by HR.

Oh my God. A millennial misery. That's where I get my news. Not kidding. Have you ever worked the full day with your kids hidden under your desk? No. No. Her picture was also on there and her nickname was Do Me Decimal. Oh my god. I also had a college librarian. Her nickname was Big Tits McGee. Y'all at UT, we didn't, we like are- You didn't have hot library? No, fuck no.

Do you know? Like I would have been up in the stacks trying to get with Big Tits McGee. Huge, massive. I mean, they're burned in my memory. Did we say toxic positive? Yeah. So, positivity.

Toxic positivity. There are some departments that if you go into them, you have to have really thick skin. And HR is one of them. Can you help me? Uh, and you're doing the juggle hands. Uh, I'm fucked. I'm like, leave me alone.

I've got activity balls. Bitch, you can't kill my vibe. It's already dead. OK, well, they sent one with an inappropriate picture. OK, what was that picture? Well, it was a woman giving a to a horse. Alrighty great. Well that was informative What do you mean my harness like you have to go to a stable to get one or what? Allow yourself give yourself the privilege to be human. That's what it is

Just just feel it so that you can go through it and come out the other side. Mic drop. Growing up, I always wanted to be a radio DJ. And so I would like literally record myself a whole like morning show, radio morning show. So it's very funny that I'm sitting here on this couch with you ladies. Mic in your face. I know. I love these women so much.

It is a privilege to be here, but it really is a privilege to be here and see this layer of you. You are part of our community. And so everyone that's listening, this is why we do it. We keep showing up. So thank you. Yes.

Thank you. Thank you. We appreciate you very much. Print it. That's a wrap. That was good. Yeah, this is so good. I know.
