here’s some winter orchids
I love your vases, I never have enough smaller ones and these show off your gorgeous orchids nicely.
thanks , it’s nice to have flowers in winter :) The blooms are so heavy I got a lead crystal carafe from the op shop to show them in, it’s very bottom heavy and has a narrow neck, works perfect! The others I just snipped one bloom off a long stalk with many blooms. Wanted to keep some flowers for outside too.
Beautiful Orchids. You have to take the photo in landscape. (Turn the phone sideways)
No worries you helped me yesterday with the anti fungal cream idea. I went out and bought curash powder. Not the one I wanted but so far so good. 👍
Those are gorgeous. I especially love that tiger orchid thing in the middle with the fancy purple skirt.
The tiger orchid thing is a zygopetalum, a pretty rare orchid, it has a strong perfume, hence I only brought one bloom inside. There are three big spikes of flowers on the plant outside and the whole balcony area is redolent with orchid .
That sounds so lovely. Orchid growing sounds so complicated to me so I love admiring others instead. You’ve inspired me to freshen up the room with a bit of fragrance myself
Tomorrow I return to the office after 3.5yrs, if I die in the night I shall take it as Gods mercy.
Also, shout out to the utter brilliance that is my upper management thinking dragging us in for full rotations without toeing us in first isn’t going to have a single mental affect on anyone.
full rotations without toeing us in first
This seems like a bad idea… Good luck.
Oh, it’s a terrible idea! I left out the part were my rotations go in a 7 on 2 off pattern, so I’m going to go from full time WFH for 3.5yrs to immediately working 7 days straight in an office with no buffer.
That just reeks of upper management sitting on middle management. Gross. All the very best. The fucking laundry??? Cmon. 7 lunches to prep? wtf? I’d be stressed
Much needed dose of serotonin thanks to the doggo this morning

Hope you hear back soon. Unfortunately this has been happening all too often recently based on my own and other people’s experiences. I had this HR person who kept saying they’ll reschedule an interview and just kept coming up with excuses or you give them a time then they ghost you until they feel like calling you again. It was fucking rude. Sadly it may be a reflection of what companies are going through and I’d love to hear from an insider on wtf is really going on behind closed doors.
Oh no hun. Sorry to hear. Hopefully they get back to you with good news in the morning.
The personal stories where people open up to me at work are amazing. (And the level of trust they put in me when they share it)
Had a man in his 60s talking about how he’s working on his mental health for the first time in his life after his divorce and death of a parent.
It’s still really raw for him and he still trusted me with his story. I love that I can work in this blue collar environment and have interactions like this.
You come across as a very genuine and caring person, so I’m not surprised that people trust you with their stories.
