My office has plants in it. Every so often, a man comes by to take care of the plants.
No one else should.
No one else should.
One may think that having leaves turn yellow is bad if you are a plant. One may also think that it is bad if you have not bloomed in a while. One may even be under the assumption that if the man has not watered you in over month you may be a thirsty plant.
One can be wrong.
With some investigative work, the story of the man is corroborated. He visits other floors frequently.
Why does he not visit mine? Must he start on the first floor? Is he paid hourly? Must he stop when the clock strikes a certain hour?
Most certainly plausible.
Thus, one might take this as lackadaisical. One might feel obligated to care for the nearby plants.
As it turns out, some plants do not do well with too much water. In fact, they rot. This particular plant drowns in seas of good intentions.
So then one might wonder if giving this person an olive tree is a good idea.
Well if you are wondering, after a month, it’s still alive.
