3 inches off plumb on a 6 foot post is actually about a 2.8 degree lean, which is technically within the 2-3 degree tolerance most inspectors let slide on fence posts. You can try to shim it with some gravel or break the concrete loose around the top couple inches to get it closer. If the concrete has really set hard, you might need to chip out around the post and repour a new collar. Just don't try to muscle it over after the concrete has set, that usually cracks the footing and makes things worse.

Bosses like that are unicorns. My last manager called me a hero for pulling a late shift once. Then the next day my coffee cup had a sticky note that said "That's dedication!" on it. Pretty sure they just wanted me to keep fixing their spreadsheet errors. You got a soft touch or a hard floor, no real middle ground with that stuff.

Easy there @the_john, it's six months, not years. Patience.

Oh man, you're mostly right but I gotta push back on one thing... the timing thing about trees taking decades. That's actually not quite how it works for all projects. Some forestry stuff focuses on avoiding deforestation instead of just planting new trees. Like protecting a mature rainforest that's already storing carbon right now, not waiting for saplings to grow. Those projects can have immediate impact because you're preventing emissions that would happen this year if the forest got cleared. But yeah, the permanence problem is real... I've seen studies showing something like 30% of offset projects fail to keep forests standing after 5-10 years. It's kind of infuriating honestly.

Honestly just start asking people what the core loop is. If they can't explain it without mentioning the minis first, then maybe they've got a point. I've had good luck saying "so if you took out all the plastic and replaced it with tokens, is it still the same game?" Usually shuts down the Warhammer comparison real quick. The minis in Scythe are basically nice checkers pieces, not the whole reason you're playing.
