Thank you
@Dante for the cafe and the tag. I had to go downstairs and get another beer for this and then I will go to bed, pick out a playlist to play on Spotify for the night.
The Hopes Table
Born of my country's Covid optimism and
Walk On Your Wild Side Day, this is a table for discussing and hoping for the time of freedom when the world returns to normal and we all get to have fun.
1) What have you missed most during all these lockdowns and panics?
COVID-19 has not affected me much. I live with 3 other guys, one of them worked at Walmart, none of us has gotten the virus. THe company I work for was deemed essential by someone in the government that pocketed a lot of money during this time and I have worked 56 hour weeks during the whole pandemic, we have a 6 week backlog of orders.
2) What are you most looking forward to when the world returns to normal?
I am looking forward to the conspiracy theorists shutting their trap about masks. We had a mask mandate at work, most people wore theirs below their nose so it was totally ineffective. I vape all the time and yet I can wear a mask over my nose all day long and still breathe fine, figure that. On thursday the chief operating officer made his rounds through the shop without wearing a mask, which without saying a word means "The mask mandate is off." The guys on my team didn't wear masks and on wednesday i told them that was a violation of my human rights and they didn't care so I threw my mask in the trash and nothing was said. Nobody is wearing a mask at work any more. The world is forever changed; it will never return to our version of "normal".
3) Who is the first person you plan to see that you couldn't so far, when you get a chance?
There was nobody I couldn't see.
4) What are the wildest or most daring plans you have made for when all this blows over and we can cut loose again?
I cut loose every night, a couple doubles of whisky, a bottle of beer, bullshitting with a friend for an hour, no microscopic villain is going to slow me down.
5) What have you been doing to keep yourself sane whilst stuck at home and do you intend to continue it when you earn you freedom again?
Never been stuck at home, I don't go out much anyway, a trip to the grocery store maybe, I drink alone.
The Food Table
With Deskfast day, Liquorice Day, AND Grilled Cheese Sandwhich day all at once, I couldnt not have a food table.
1) Have you ever eaten a meal at you desk? Why and what was it?
I have a desk in my bedroom with my Chromebook and all my stuff, it is where I eat every night. These week I made some mac & cheese and then browned some hot sausage and diced a couple vidalia onions and spiced it up with garlic powder, cumin, a bunch of Mrs Dash, celery seed, and parsley.
2) Do you like Liquorice, and if so... WHY??
Love black licorice. Why? I'm not a doctor but I would say I like it because of the taste buds I inherited.
3) What is your guilty pleasure food?
Butter Pecan ice cream.
4) What do you eat when youre trying to be good?
A nice base of hash browns smothered in sausage gravy with 3 over easy eggs on top.
5) What food can you simply not understand that ANYONE could like it?
I eat just about anything, we were made to eat what was set in front of us as children and there is nothing I don't like. I like fried okra if that gives you any idea of how I will eat anything.
The DIY Table
What, you want me to think of everything? This is a self-serve table, find your own questions and answer them!
1) What question does no one ever ask you, and what's the answer?
Can't think of anything for this question
2) What question do you wish people would stop asking you and what's the answer?
I am an open book, I answer any question people ask me gladly, with no reservation.
3) What's the strangest question you have ever been asked and what's the answer?
Back when Craigslist had the personals ads, they have been removed now because of a lawsuit, I messaged a woman I was interested in. She responded "What is your shoe size?" I responded with just "10-1/2". She replied back "Not interested". That is the strangest exchange I have ever had anywhere. I realize my mistake now, I should have expounded on my shoe size, what kind of shoes I wore, my penis size, my pants size, my sport coat size, I should have written her a two page letter on my shoe size.
The Bar
For those who just want to say Hello
1) Say Hello
Hello to all, good evening and good night.
2) What do you want to tell us
I had a very good day off work, I work 6 days a week usually 10 hour days and yesterday after work I showered, got a haircut, shaved, the barber (a beautiful young lady) trimmed my goatee and mustache, trimmed my mustache off my lip, I trimmed my fingernails, I cleaned up my room today, took all the trash out, watched "Gladiator", one of the best weekends of my life.
My beer is gone, time to go to bed.
