And I know this dude’s business. We talked once. He brokers shipping containers. Literally sells used metal boxes. Over the phone. To people far away.

This is why I curse so much.
This is why I hate people.

A pregnant woman who doesn’t want to return to a workplace with a stupid anti-science boss who doesn’t even see basic office sanitation as his responsibility.
