My boss just handed me two geckos to take care of while he's on his third vacation through October. I need a new job.

Sounds like your job asked you to do a special project. Log your hours caring for the animals like you would any other work day.

Not only time, but space. Charge the asshole rent for his lizards. And, you don't need to justify the amount, there is no market rate for this shit, and if he didn't give you a choice, you can charge whatever you want. $50/day seems right to me. Maybe he should have asked what your rate was before he hoisted them upon you.

Spend that on some look-a-like geckos and then go on a well-documented high-risk adventure with them. Send regular updates to your boss.

You getting paid good for this at least right?

If not, release the cats.

Don't have a cat? No worry, they're easy to find...

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 6d

Ugh. Amature! You don't release cats. Cats go where they want, when they want, at all times. Now and forever.

But if there's a chipmunk outside, they will do this weird noise together like "kakakakakakakakaaaaa"

So don't be a chipmunk. They clearly are teasing the hell out of these cats just by existing.
