No dude. EVERYTHING is gone! Those were special shots in special places! Not your local park! I had to pay roughly 200 bucks for one, for the one I had a friendly teacher vouch for me.

This is not a "guys, I changed my mind for CookieCutters 3 lololol". This is a serious project that I fucked up!

Calm down. I have had this happen to entire chapters of novels I have written. Guess what happens if the files can't be recovered? You get to reshoot those scenes, fix mistakes, and refine the quality of your work. The second time I wrote those chapters I wrote faster and ended up with a better story than if the originals were never lost.

The story is in you. You don't need the hard drive. Tell people you had an epiphany and are going a different direction with the project.

When I was in the Navy I (a 5'0" female) I would have to go into male berthing to wake up my watch relief pretty often. We had one guy who would wake up swinging so I would just pull back his curtain and swish a flashlight beam across his face until he woke up. Light is the safest tool for that job IME. wholly effective and provides lots of distance.

Except if one of them are like me and consuming cannabis can literally lose them their job. Or worse, they have an underlying medical condition that can be affected by the side effects of weed, like a heart condition or high blood pressure since week increases both heart rate and blood pressure.

Yes criminal, I live in a state where weed is legal but due to my job I cannot under any circumstances consume THC or CBD, if so I could very easily lose my job, and a whole host of other consequences. I'm not even supposed to associate with anyone who uses cannabis anyways but unfortunately living in a college town at the moment makes that near impossible.

Plus you don't know someone's circumstances, I know people who have awful reactions to weed, plus with the quantity that OP said was in them then that is surely enough to fuck someone up, and imagine if one of the friends had something important the next day and unknowingly ate a high dose edible thinking it was a regular brownie and now cannot make it to something important. Or a friend who has a medical condition like high blood pressure or a heart issue. Weed increases both heart rate and blood pressure and could very easily cause a medical emergency in someone who took that high of a dose and has an existing condition.

It isn't heroin but it is still illegal to drug someone's food, just in this case, it would be closer to criminal negligence. They're lucky there weren't any worse consequences.

You sound like a really fun coworker. I wouldn’t sweat (be upset about) this in the slightest!

Did they redraw the names? Ultimately clarity is key in these situations and either your boss or you should have asked for clarification however who really cares? Now all 5 of you have a fun story!

You should tell Celine you were happy to pick her. (Cheap Christmas movies could be made about the romance)
