Mid Year Book Freakout Tag (2023 Edition)

Hey all, Sam here. So...I did this tag in 2017, 2018, and 2019...and then for some reason just skipped it the past couple years. But you know, what, let's bring it back.

Hey all, Sam here. I have almost completed my first full week at my new job...and so far, so good.
