You guys, I haven&#8217;t had a meeting since 2020 \ud83d\ude05 I don&#8217;t even know what half my team looks like because they started after the pandemic.&nbsp; Also, I haven&#8217;t spoken to any of these people (off Slack or email) since the stroke. I&#8217;m not even sure most of them know I even had a stroke! I was sure my boss told them why I was out for 6 months, but I was chatting on Slack with my project manager, and I made this offhanded joke about having a stroke, and she had no idea. I&#8217;m like, &#8216;What did my boss even tell these people about my 6-month absence???&#8217; The higher ups knew and didn&#8217;t even send me flowers while I was in the hospital, so IDK why I expected my coworkers to know. It happened right before the superbowl, and my friends saw the big Snoop commercial and were like, &#8216;They can afford Snoop for the superbowl, but they can&#8217;t afford to send their employee of over 10 years flowers in the hospital?!&#8217; Yes, I&#8217;m still bitter, and yes, I dried my tears with the raise and bonus they gave me while I was on medical leave.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/crying-money.gif\" alt=\"crying tears money\" width=\"250\"><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s some actual footage of me driving in LA traffic:<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"kgvid_kgvid_1_wrapper\" class=\"kgvid_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"video_kgvid_1_div\" class=\"fitvidsignore kgvid_videodiv\" data-id=\"kgvid_1\" data-kgvid_video_vars=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;kgvid_1&quot;,&quot;attachment_id&quot;:0,&quot;player_type&quot;:&quot;Video.js v8&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;435&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:&quot;435&quot;,&quot;fullwidth&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;fixed_aspect&quot;:&quot;vertical&quot;,&quot;countable&quot;:false,&quot;count_views&quot;:&quot;start_complete&quot;,&quot;start&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;pauseothervideos&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;set_volume&quot;:1,&quot;muted&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;meta&quot;:false,&quot;endofvideooverlay&quot;:false,&quot;resize&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;auto_res&quot;:&quot;automatic&quot;,&quot;pixel_ratio&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;right_click&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;playback_rate&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;la-traffic-holidays.mp4&quot;,&quot;skip_buttons&quot;:[],&quot;nativecontrolsfortouch&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;locale&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;enable_resolutions_plugin&quot;:false}\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/la-traffic-holidays.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/la-traffic-holidays.mp4\"><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/la-traffic-holidays.mp4\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"la-traffic-holidays.mp4\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Video\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-10-24T23:23:13-07:00\">\n\t\t\t\t<video id=\"video_kgvid_1\" playsinline controls preload=\"metadata\" poster=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/la-traffic-holidays.jpg\" width=\"435\" height=\"435\" class=\"fitvidsignore video-js kg-video-js-skin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<source src=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/la-traffic-holidays.mp4?id=1\" type=\"video\/mp4\" data-res=\"Full\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/video>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(via @sbrbnla) It&#8217;s gonna be a shit show in LA tomorrow, and it&#8217;s gonna take a week to fix the gate in my parking garage (though when someone broke into our garage the last time, my car and my mango hi-chews went untouched LOL there were BMWs, Teslas and a Maserati in my garage\u2014nobody was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[181,217,256],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-259336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chat","category-la","category-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=259336"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260851,"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259336\/revisions\/260851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=259336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=259336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mayanrocks.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=259336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
