"No one likes the glue traps"

"He’s pulled strings like that before. And it baffles me, right? Because it really does make zero sense." A sweet, strange, short piece of memoir (note that the title has a NSFW profanity in it) about a workplace, and saving geckos, and a sorting-out of a misunderstanding, and what builds trust.

I'm telling on myself a little here but I follow babylon (the author) directly on tumblr. His other stuff is good too.
