Okay now that we made it through Summit #1 and Near Death Experience #387, some housekeeping:

What is the status of your sleeping situation and is it going to lead to you throwing your back out if you need to carry some heavy shit?

I'm going to try and work something of a swing shift for the next couple weeks while Jem is out of commission, to back up both you and Crystal. If there's shit you're absolutely dreading, especially those tedious scheduling and administrative tasks that I just love to dig my teeth into, you can leave those for me. Don't like throw them in a pile marked Goodleaf and move on, actually communicate what you need done, but I'm happy to help.

And finally (for now) if you need to scream into a jar I have a Yankee candle you can use. It's very cathartic.

my back's fine bro i had to move back to the school til i get the truck back in order

can you do my paperwork.

what smell

Are you sleeping in something that approximates an actual bed or are we still trying to make chairs work

Dude I am all over paperwork of course I can do your paperwork.

Vanilla. I screamed into it the other night and felt half-a-candle better.

they gave me a cot and everything, it's a 5-star joint out there

thanks that shit's why i never went for lt. [...] and i wouldn't've made it to lt anyways but i like blaming the paperwork

ain't never really thought about screaming into a vanilla candle to feel better. is it a kink thing.

Well shit, maybe I'll move into the school too. But seriously, I'll reserve judgment on your reasons for not sleeping in the bunkhouse with us (the snoring is a lot), I'm focused on keeping us from being down any more responders. So if that means I need to go beat up a farmer and steal the feather mattress he shared with his wife who he misses every day of his life and this is all he has left of her, I will. Gladly.

Wait I thought to get to lieutenant you just had to show off your abs, what the fuck, why didn't I go for it

Pretty pathetic kink tbh. More just one of those weird coping strategies you come up with when all you have on hand is garbage.

i'm gonna help lundegaard find a new mattress for maggie, they said they'll let me take one back. so maybe the team can cool it on the sleeping arrangements thing.

no way you gotta have the rulebook stuck up your ass [...] actually you would've been made a good one

idk if candle screams are gonna do anything for me but thanks for [...] sharing

Unfortunately I have orders to make sure you take care of yourself. Which is hilariously hypocritical I know but you've been chosen. But if you've got a mattress in the works then I'll leave it until I find something else to fret over.

Aw shucks thanks. I like knowing what I'm allowed to do and what I can punish others for not doing.

Very welcome, I'm full of useful coping mechanisms. Look at how mentally sound I am.
