After Julius Caesar made a heartfelt appreciation post about how much he loves his “work besties,” a group of Roman senators thanked him and showed their support.
Caius Cassius, a one-time rival, even replied with “we got yur back.”
Caesar’s original post came after a difficult general assembly, where many arguments were held about how much power one person should hold in the Republic. Caesar maintained that he does not want to be an emperor.
Things still got heated even after Caesar refused a plebian call to crown him three times; Casca Longus publicly took him to task and called him out for recent actions of war against one of their own, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, or “Pompey” as his mandems call him.
Even though things got pretty tense, Caesar believes he and the senators have come to an agreement and he thanked everyone for their support before leaving the Capitol. Upon his exit he was flanked by his ride or die, Marcus Brutus, a close personal friend of whom Caesar credits for maintaining the shaky truce between himself and the senators.
Later that evening and against the better judgement of his protege Marc Antony, Caesar sent his “besties for the resties” letter where he gushed about his workplace pals and talked about how much he appreciates their friendship and undivided support tomorrow at the senate.
He sent his “besties for the resties” letter where he gushed about his workplace pals.
“When things get rough at work, I know I can always count on my boys,” the letter read.
Many do not believe that Caesar should go to the capitol on March 15th for a scheduled appearance; strange sights portend possible trouble (a fucking lion in the street) and even a famous soothsayer (who has yet to be wrong about anything) has advised him not to attend.
Yet, fearing that he might appear weak to the people of Rome, Caesar pledges to go and even gave a special shout-out to Decius, who came late this evening and persuaded him to attend despite promising his wife Calpurnia (who he calls a bit of a “Nervous Nelly”) that he would not go. “Bros before hoes,” he wrote.
Cassius seemed to be the most moved by Caesar’s letter, and he pledged to jump on a call with Cicero, Casca, and Cinna asap so they can do some blue sky thinking and get their ducks in a row on some actionable items before tomorrow’s big meeting. Cassius said he might even include Brutus to get some fresh eyes and run some ideas up the flagpole.
He thinks he might have a cutting edge idea to help solve all of Rome’s problems.
