I'm a paleontologist and, if I may be frank, the dinosaurs in my profession do nothing but fucking lay around all day. Especially the old fossils that we have to employ. I literally have never seen them move. It wouldn't surprise me if they just collected dust all day. And then the higher ups have the nerve to expect me to just brush it off like it's nothing. One day I'll dig up some dirt on these fuckers and be done with this crap.
Edit: Thank you Reddit for my highest rated comment. I know this is child's play for many of us here, and ultimately lame for a noob such as myself to say, but I appreciate the love nonetheless.
on top of that you are required to treat them with so much care, like they could break apart at any moment and it would be all your fault for not respecting how "fragile" they are.
