  I have a dog that insists on marking inside the house in a few different places and no amount of training, deterrent sprays, or preventative potty breaks has been able to fix it. It wasn’t a problem until we had a housemate move in with a dog who peed inside the day they moved in and it’s been non stop ever since.

  As for the concrete patio, I had a dog door that my only pup at the time could use to let herself out with. The entire space was concrete with a small strip of dirt that had some trees and stuff. I would be gone for work for most of the day so she’d let herself out to use the bathroom. I’d clean up the poop and stuff but the pee was kind of a pain to get up and off and I was really busy for a few months. She was getting walked or taken to the dog park nearly daily.

  I assure you, both of my dogs are extremely well taken care of. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars and dozens of hours to try to alleviate the peeing inside problem at this point and pretty much everyone, trainers included, is at a loss for how to get him to stop. But thank you for your concern. I’m sure you would do better than me but I just can’t be as superior a being as you.

  Yes, from my personal experience. We mop up dog pee in the house all the time with hot water and a splash of bleach and it’s totally fine. It bubbles a little when you rinse the mop in the bucket and you can definitely smell the reaction occurring.

  However, I also once cleaned the back patio of my old apartment of a summer’s worth of dog pee on concrete with about a gallon of straight bleach and had to wait for it to air out for about 20 minutes because it was a definite chemical hazard. As in, eyes burning, and difficult to breathe. I started pre-rinsing with the hose to dilute everything prior after that.

  Also the ability of mirror neurons to watch someone do a thing, then conceptualize and execute it with your body is extremely interesting.

  So that we feel vindicated in actually owning your productive time. So that management can show they add value by watching you work.

  I’m constantly preaching that “we don’t work in a widget factory, there is only the work there is to do, and if it’s all done, wtf are you complaining about? Asses in seats does not correlate to work completed. As long as we’re available to complete tasks, you’re getting what you’re paying for.”

  My management prizes my ability to write complex things ina professional and easily digestible manner. However part of that process might look like I’m doing nothing at all, while I’ve got a half a draft written and I’m just sitting there for an hour and a half doing sudoku puzzles while what I’ve written vs what I need to say percolates in my brain. And yet I have to be cautious about it because some of them are convinced we work in a widget factory, where ass in seat and hands on keyboard equals work produced.

  Right? Shocker, I’m able to listen to a thing actively and vocally contribute while doing something mindless like doing/folding laundry or making food because they use different parts of my brain.

  The meat mech is capable of doing something physical with no thought, while engaging language processing for something else.

  I had never seen one before, and was just settling in after moving into my new apartment when my turn gf just screams and comes running into the kitchen saying, “there’s a horrible monster bug in the sink, ITS HUGE”

  And unprepared for the Lovecraftian little horror waiting for me, expecting some kind of beetle or something, I was pretty shook up. Legitimately was scared to go into the kitchen at night after that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨legs to die for⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I developed a theory because of these fuckers, which is that the scale of a things creepiness is based on how many legs it has and how fast they are.

  Make sure you save all those letters, lest you resolve the error and get a letter several years later saying you owe $x + interest due to an error that you’ve already resolved. Because they don’t have those records digitally, apparently, and if you don’t have paper copies of every document involved you might just get to pay that penalty whether it was ever due in the first place, or even if you’ve already paid the penalty. Or get a lawyer.

  Which is what happened to me the year before last.

  This is us. We operate perfectly as a team and we each function as an extension of the others body. We just synchronize so flawlessly that we’re basically dancing around each other in the kitchen.

  I feel so fortunate to have finally found someone I mesh with this thoroughly, but I live in perpetual terror that she’ll be taken from me suddenly or unexpectedly by accident or sickness.
