Weird start to a Thursday

I found a dying green tree frog on the sidewalk a block from work this morning. I have no idea how it got there - maybe it was a stray, maybe it was abandoned by a resident of one of Dallas’s ridiculously overpriced new downtown condos.

At first I walked away, but then I walked back and put the frog in a nearby gigantic flowerpot. I’m hoping that in its last gasps it can pretend it is in a warm rainforest or terrarium somewhere. It won’t get smashed, but it still might get eaten by a bird.

In completely unrelated news, I got an offer from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I turned the job down; I decided the work was too specific and I was trying to convice myself I wanted the job, which is never a good sign.
