    If this all seems too much in the end, I am happy to ship you another replacement from NZ.

    Risk of Rain is my 11th by playtime on steam, just after Noita at 10. Getting a steam deck last year has completely changed my gaming habits tbh..

    They're out there! I have a Merlot Mica NA8 and a turbo'd British Racing Green NB. I love them very much and will never part with them.

    Weddings, funerals, celebrations, graduations, etc

    There is still an enormous amount of daily arrangements though. For example, we did arrangements for hospitals, rest homes, and local businesses in their waiting rooms. Not to mention people who just walked in asking for flowers for their partners. We had an older man who came and picked his own flowers for his wife every week.

    I studied geology and my first job out of school was surveying and blasting for a mining explosives company. I thought that seemed fairly opposite the florist trade!

    Worked as florist during university. It is the complete opposite of what I was studying and what I eventually got into, but I genuinely loved making the arrangements and setting up venues.

    You ended up being present for so many important milestones in other people's lives and it was a genuinely wholesome job that gave me great pleasure.
