See Thomas’s post here for what on earth is going on.
After work, distracted by asparagus, forgot scheduled duties—coworkers left hanging 🙁

When you’re not paying attention and don’t see this until you’re about 3 feet away from it, it scares the crap out of you.
I’m pretty sure I only have one person to tag for this, so Tammy, get crackin’!
Late edit: Credit for the “Spooky Asparagus” phase goes to @SQLCheesecake, because he’s awesome like that.
