S: Tom
T: Yeah?
S: Why didn't you get me to front sooner? I'm jealous of women younger than me that I never got to be.
T: oh, ouch... uh... is this about the attractive woman you met the other day?
S: yeah, I guess
T: you had a similar feeling when you met M
S: yeah, it doesn't feel great
A: five bucks says that's why...
T: don't say it
A: ...
T: look, I had a really hard time finding y'all. Like I could hear the echos of you. I knew you were in there and wanted to get out. I could hear your voices, but I was scared to look for you. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I didn't find you until our thirties. If I could do it over again, I'd have started searching the moment I sensed you. sniff I wish I could. I wish I could so bad. sniff
A: aw, sweetie
S: Tom...
T: cries
S: I know. I know. ... I know. hugs
A: hugs

S: Tom
T: Yeah?
S: What do you think about the manager role?
T: nervous
S: yeah
T: as a worker, you can hide because you're only being looked at from the top. You can't hide as a manager because you're getting looked at from all sides
T: unless it's like... this chillest place, but even Pivotal managing gave me anxiety tbh
S: yeah, I remember... you took a long mental health leave partly because you were not dealing well with your anxieties as a manager
T: I'll tell you this though. I'm really happy and proud that you're approaching this as a trial. Just promise me something.
S: yeah?
T: if you feel anxious, take a deep breath. If you still feel anxious, pull the rip cord
S: okay, I can promise that
T: ok, now take your meds and go to bed
S: night
T: night
A: zzz
Lizard: purpurpur

Stef: hm?
Tom: elly was talking about it, but we were too stoned to really take it in, so we put it in a todoist task
