I took the free upgrade. Then after a bit I updated my bios and it killed my license. Microsoft wouldn't fix it and said I changed my hardware so there was nothing they could do. Still pissed off about that.

About 15 years ago I was promoted to a dept manager position at Walmart. They rented out a conference room at a nearby hotel and had this whole anti union training. I really didn't think much of it at the time being as young as I was... but it was pretty much just like this poster. Telling us to report if we seen or heard any talk of organization of a union. Kind of shitty of a thing for a company to do now that I looks back on this.

In high school I wanted to be an architect. Graduated and went on to struggling for years working in retail til I finally had enough and went to college. Found out quickly that there was zero demand in my area for that and pivoted to being a mechanical engineer. I now have 13 years of doing that and am glad I went that option as I can go anywhere in the world with this skill set.

I read that about the texture as well. Don't know about this version but like I said I have a red one and it's smooth looking just like your picture. Also, my bad... says mine is a caladium.

Looks like a heart to heart plant that I have but mines red. Philodendron Gloriosum
