    “People were taking cocaine in front of us [and] my sons cried for most of the game,”

    Oh, fuck off.

    Weird, I’ve never noticed anything. I guess being a little older and WFH kind of cuts me off from that world.

    Yeah, that’s something that shocked me a bit when I initially moved here. Some of my younger colleagues (and I mean young, most girls aged 19-22) casually spoke about their cocaine usage and even ketamine. I even learned about the “k hole” from them, lol. Scary. I know a couple of straight edge 20 somethings too though so I guess they’re bringing some balance to the force but damn.

      I love drugs, but don’t talk about it in the workplace haha.
