what's up, my beautiful people, we are back with another episode this week and we're on time. We're on time. Um, it is thursday. We are doing a same day release, like I always do. But also watch all this noise while I move. This damn mic ding. You probably heard all of it. So, uh, I don't care about background noise anymore. Fuck, I'm almost knocked over. I'm knocking over everything over here. Yeah, fix this tissue box, cool, probably. So much noise.
Speaker 1:So today might be a short episode. It's getting less and less I have to report on, but I've been waking up late for work, like almost every day now. Today was the second day I woke up late. I woke up at my normal time and then I don't remember pushing stop on the alarm or telling you know my girl Alexa over there to be quiet. But I wake up and it's half an hour later, legitimately, to the minute. So yesterday, wednesday, I woke up at 630. Well, I woke up at six and then 630. And today I woke up at 715 and then woke back up at 745. So I don't know what the fuck's going on. I think that's funny that it's a legit 30 minutes later that I wake up.
Speaker 1:My sister's coming over today. So I have to make sure I record before her noisy ass gets here. She keeps talking to me about getting Kobe and I'm like, dude, if you want Kobe, so bad, just fucking go get it. Go get it and bring it over here and then we can, you know, hang out. I'm not in the mood for anything heavy like that. I'm trying to like be good.
Speaker 1:I had a uh, I had tropical smoothie cafe for lunch, so probably the heaviest thing I'll eat today. I had Farina for breakfast. It was so fucking good. I found a really good recipe on this website and I used it yesterday and I was like goddamn, I was like impressed with myself and I made a huge pot for myself, apparently. So yesterday was one portion for dinner, today was the second portion for breakfast and I had the three chicken, three cheese chicken quesadilla. I think Three chicken is crazy, all is well and an island green smoothie.
Speaker 1:Damn, sometimes that stuff just gets stuck in your throat. You ever just wake up late for work and you're like your whole entire day is fucked because I had to squeeze so much stuff into a tiny amount of time to get to work on time, into a tiny amount of time to get to work on time, and that was not my favorite thing, but I'm still tired, like today. I could fall back to sleep at any moment. So I had to get myself up off the couch because me and Daniel-san fucking watched the Autopsy of Jane Doe, which, always a good movie, feels like a classic at this point, very underrated. Always a good movie Feels like a classic at this point Very underrated.
Speaker 1:Watched it this past Halloween with Julio the chick's naked the whole time. Obviously because it's an autopsy, but all the stuff that happens in it is crazy. If you haven't seen it already, you should. If you haven't seen it, there's going to be spoilers in this, but watch it anyway. Watch it anyway because for no other reason than my own, I pretend like I don't know what these movies are about. Excuse me, I had to yawn there For one reason or another. I pretend to not know what's going on in the movie, but I know what's going on in the movie, so like I wasn't spoiling it for him, but he kept saying don't spoil it. So it was good.
Speaker 1:It's a good movie. You should see it. It's about a father and son who run this morgue out of their house and all this weird shit starts happening when they bring this body in. They don't know what her name is, but she just came from a crime scene in which they don't know what happened there either, because there's no forced signs of entry or anything, but everybody's dead and she's like the main focal point and she lives. She's like half buried in the dirt, so who knows what was happening when they were burying her. Like they don't show what happens before she gets to the morgue. So apparently it's a small town and he's like the one that they bring all the bodies to and they trust and all this shit.
Speaker 1:It's good. It's good movie. It's short, so it ramps up pretty quick. It was enjoyable. No stupid sounds in the background to make you think something else is going on. It's just very straightforward, cut and dry, which that's kind of like how I like my horror movies.
Speaker 1:I was talking to my mom about it last weekend and she said that she watched it and she had her hands in front of her face like she was scared. I was like scared of what? All the nothing going on. It's literally just a dude and his son taking pictures of things opening the bitch up. Like you know, learning all of this shit. And my favorite part is all the books he has around him to like know what he needs to know to do his job right. Like he has a Bible, he has like a botany book. He has a whole bunch of shit and that's cool. I think that's one of the cool parts about a job like that is the the ability to know and identify certain things and just be able to give people what they need as far as information goes for their loved one. Whatever, I can't wait to see Monkey.
Speaker 1:The Monkey movie. That shit's going to be so good. It's by the guy who made Long Legs, let's see. And it just looks like it's going to be really intense. Like it looks like it's going to be one of those movies where you're like what the fuck? Because the trailer is just something else. So essentially, this is what it is. Oh, it's another short movie, so that's good too. So that means that's going to be quick. When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. 25 years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree, forcing the estranged siblings to confront the cursed toy. And it's one of those monkeys that has like the drum. Is it the drum. Yes, it's a drum. So the monkey that has the drum on it. You wind it up and it hits the drum. And the trailer itself was so intense.
Speaker 1:When we went to see Heart Eyes I was like this is the next movie I'm seeing and, no, fuck, captain America, I'm not watching it. If I do watch it, it'll be probably next year on my couch, cause that's that's how much I keep up with. The movies that don't do well. Um, I was laughing because it said it was the number one movie in America for one weekend and my boyfriend goes yeah, cause it probably was the only movie out that weekend which is hilarious and not untrue. So I said we have to see this movie. I'm like this is going to be really good. Um, let me see the same guy plays both twins, which is really cool. I like when they do that. That's some good camera work. Uh, wow, elijah Wood is in it. Um, Sarah, sarah Levy, sarah Levy, excuse me, cause I'm I'm thinking of Eugene Levy and all and Dan Levy and all that shit. Um, but yeah, that looks like it. Looks like it's going to be crazy. Um, they showed a lot of intense violence in it.
Speaker 1:I got to get the tickets for it, though we do the reserve seating shit. I don't know who's still going to the movies and walking up there and it's like, hey, two tickets for no bra. There's apps, there's technology, there's all this shit. And even if I'm walking around the mall and I'm like yo, the movie theaters right there, you want to see a movie, I'm not going up to the movies to like stand there and wait for things. Like you either go really early where nobody is, which we did last time when we saw hard eyes, we saw like the first showing of it, and the place is empty and of course you turn around behind you and there's 50 million people on every line possible. So I like be well prepared for things.
Speaker 1:I like to plan without planning, which is kind of what we did for Valentine's Day. We went to Cheesecake Factory last week and I planned without planning because apparently, if you go to the Cheesecake Factory website, they don't allow you to do reservations for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. So even if you try because even my boyfriend tried to, you know, reserve something before we left and I'm like, oh, is it going to work? And it didn't, it ended up not working or not being the time's not available, and I was like I told you, bro, I told you that they don't do reservations for today or mother's day, so even if you were to try and do it same day reservation, it wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 1:So we get there, um, and we're expecting a long ass wait because it's like 5 30 and let me tell you something the parking lot there is fucking so dumb. Like the parking lot there is so small, it's so small and people are just lapping the parking lot. There is so small, it's so small and people are just lapping the parking lot. So I finally just turned to my boyfriend. I was like, bro, can we just do valet please? Like I'll pay for it. I just can't keep doing laps like this. And of course, his one of his, like his boss calls or something, or the guy who plans their shit, whatever. Oh, the guy who does their payroll. He calls and my boyfriend gets distracted and I'm like but you keep looping, like just hit the valet real quick. And it's just crazy. It's just, it's crazy how much slower someone works on something when they're distracted. And I don't blame him, I just blame the person who calls because it's Valentine's Day and it's 530.
Speaker 1:You don't get to take up my free time with work, shit. Now, it's not how that works. I'm like, no, you're off duty. You've been off duty since 2.30. I've been waiting to enjoy my dinnertime with you all day long, all day long. You don't get to take a work call while we're in the parking lot of where we're going to go eat.
Speaker 1:Okay, I want to eat, I want to shower, and I wanted to just sit and play computer games for the rest of the night. Well, I showered already, so it was just, you know, eat and computer games. So it was a fun night, though the only thing that makes me mad is that, you know, my tastes are changing again. And, uh, I wanted the street corn rib things and, uh, it tasted bitter. It was, uh, it was super bitter. Um, I did like the mac and cheese bites though they're always good Um, inhaled them, and then we both got the Louisiana chicken pasta, which, unfortunately, I did not get to eat as leftovers, um, so that I ended up throwing them out yesterday as leftovers. So I ended up throwing them out yesterday, unfortunately.
Speaker 1:So then, after that, the next day was a drive to my grandmother's, which is almost three hours away, of course, because we'll get stuck in traffic and instead of us getting there at two o'clock, we got there at four o'clock only because we were doing bug bombing here, because I'm still having pest issues of the roach variety that I don't like and I definitely believe it's coming from my neighbors. We bug bombed the whole apartment this time, not just the bathroom, so hopefully that did something. And then, of course, you know, the leasing office finally calls me back Monday. I called the leasing office Friday because I saw one in the bathroom while I was trimming my hair. Then you know they don't call me back Friday.
Speaker 1:We go to my grandmother's, but we left late because my boyfriend just likes to do whatever while I'm trying to prepare for all of us to leave All of us, meaning him and myself. I'm big on packing and making sure everything is clean before we leave, such as loading the dishwasher or anything like that, getting anything off the counter because we're bug bombing. So everything has to be moved from the bathroom. Everything has to be taken off the counter. That's like edible or cups or anything that I have lying out. The coffee maker I didn't clean yet, I just cleaned the cutting board that I usually have out on my counter no-transcript. We're all good there, so that's fine. So we went and we did that.
Speaker 1:We went over to my grandmother's my uncle was there, my aunt was there, my parents were there and my sister was there one of them and uh, we were chilling. We ate so much, they drank so much. I just sat and watched and then at a certain point I started to feel like sleepy. So it was just a long day of just being in a car for three hours and then like having to entertain people and laugh and, oh, eat this, eat this. Like just putting food in my face all day. I've never seen my sister eat so much.
Speaker 1:I was so proud. I was like, fucking, finally, because she comes over here or she goes home and she eats like one meal a day and it's some bullshit, like either Chick-fil-A or McDonald's, nothing good for you and nothing that helps you with bowel movements. You know what I mean. So it's just ridiculous. She's ridiculous. And she was like don't judge, don't judge. It's just like the best day of my life. Everything tastes so good. And I was like, yeah, I know, bro, she's been cooking. They've been cooking this way their entire life, cause my uncle made steak.
Speaker 1:My grandma made chicken. My uncle made bacalao salad, which is what my grandma, my mom, my mother likes excuse me, my mom likes bacalao. I don't. Um, he, we fucking like questioning him, like who is this guy that's bringing all these fucking meats over to Florida from Jersey? Like that shit is so funny. Like how do you get past TSA with like a whole damn suitcase full of meat? Because he brought enough for obviously nine people and it was like 40 day aged steak or something. I don't know what the seasonings were, if there were any. That shit came out like butter. Okay, you did not need a knife to enjoy it, but I did use a knife for my chicken because the chicken was on the bone.
Speaker 1:My grandmother made roasted chicken, which she's always the bomb at, and she made white rice and red beans. My uncle's contribution was a steak and the bacalao. That's what that was. Then my aunt made the cake. She made a cake that had like a what was it? Custard, strawberry, pineapple in the middle. It was so good, but I got to start throwing food out of my fridge because it's starting to stink and make me sick. So we ate a lot.
Speaker 1:We hung out for breakfast on Sunday. My grandmother made pancakes and whatnot. She made pancakes, eggs and bacon. I was so full again we relaxed before we left. We got home at like four-ish yeah something like that and we went around disinfecting everything. We bought a disinfecting spray from Lowe's, went around the apartment, sprayed down all the surfaces, all our computer chairs and whatnot. He was very good about helping with that.
Speaker 1:I started doing laundry and stuff. You know the usual prep you do on Sundays. I usually like to do laundry on Saturday, though because I'm so tired of you know, the day before I have to want to go back to work. I'm just like, what do I have to do? Like what tasks do I have? And I'm like, nah, we're good, we don't want to do that.
Speaker 1:So it was a whole lot of movement this weekend and then Sunday Monday I was off anyway. So I gave myself the day off because why not? I haven't really taken much days off. I did for Thanksgiving and that was it. I think I did the Wednesday before and the Friday after Thanksgiving because I'd never done that before and I had the time. Well, I didn't by the time I took it, but I took it anyway because, fuck it, and I just hadn't taken any time. I took time off, maybe in January. Yeah, I took time off in January to go to Podfest and I didn't end up going, but it's all right, I'm just too tired. Pod fest and I didn't end up going, but it's all right, I just too tired. Um, I put in a note for, like, remote work accommodations that I stopped getting coughed and sneezed on all day.
Speaker 1:Um, I just don't feel comfortable, like not even after COVID, before COVID, like I have asthma, so I'm really susceptible to a lot of things. So, and when I get sick, I get really sick and I really just don't want to be in that environment anymore. So I'm trying to see what I can do to accommodate that, especially because this job allows me to work from home. So why not just be home all the time and be in my own little bubble where no one's coughing my face or directly near me, going up and down them stairs? In this weather? I gained a little bit of weight and trying to lose some. Um, not trying to lose some, but just trying to get my breathing back up to where it needs to be so that I don't hate stairs. So, so far, so good.
Speaker 1:I'm tired, though it's very tiring. Um, the weather's making me tired. It's very gloomy out, it's very chilly. Um, I like the cool weather. Um, I don't like going out and in going outside to work in it Like I don't like going outside to work in it, like I don't like going to my office with it being cold out.
Speaker 1:So that's where the line is for that. What is this? Mary's saying that the GL uploads are failing. I'll forward you the last email. The upload portion has nothing to do with me. Okay, anyway, I'll forward you the last email. The upload portion has nothing to do with me. Okay, anyway, I'll fucking troubleshoot that later. Let me just write back though. Okay, we'll definitely Upload in QuickBooks. Quickbooks, all right.
Speaker 1:So I asked my questions. No, shut the fuck up. Sorry, it was a long little pause there, but I had to type something. Um clients having an issue let's see Um. Um clients having an issue let's see Um.
Speaker 1:So another client issue I have is one that I met with on. Was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday. Hold up, okay, I'll take a look. I'll take a look, take a look and see what's going on. Leave me alone, bruh, all right. So there's a client I meet with on a weekly basis. They've had some troubles. They've been complaining about being sick at the same time, whatever. Whatever.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I mentioned this, but the project manager tried to say that I was being aggressive with my. I don't know if I mentioned this, but the project manager tried to say that I was being aggressive with my I guess my line of questioning with them and I was like you know what, I'll fall back on. That. That's me. I'm sorry. If I sound aggressive, I'll pull it back, whatever. So, of course, by me saying I'm pulling it back, it basically just means bitch, I won't talk for the rest of the fucking time. That's how you feel, which I didn't. I basically let her do her thing as a project manager and let her deal with everything. I'm like you know what, if you think that I'm going to deal with you, like I have to work with you, and then you talk that shit to me about how I sound like I'm being aggressive and you can get the fuck out of my fucking face, how I sound like I'm being aggressive and you can get the fuck out of my fucking face. So that's basically it.
Speaker 1:What's the errors? Decide to sign on when it's just each job uploaded, finally worked out the kinks that I could download the payroll from. Okay, I've been swamped with year end and just finishing up our annual financial audit this week Tried to upload my GL files. Today, my upload to QuickBooks failed for every file, since it is a dot. I don't know why it's failing. I like to schedule a meeting next week to go over this process and should. The information ADP file does in fact include payroll costs by job number. Bro, we went over this. I'm not meeting with this fucking lady again. We went through this. Look at your template, look at the fucking GL and that's it. Transition of service. Sing it out of my face, anyway.
Speaker 1:So I, uh, I met with the same client yesterday and we basically covered the same thing, because what happened is from one week to the next, I hear nothing from them, even though I've reached out. So Wednesday, meaning yesterday, um, I reached out to the client and uh was like hey, so this is what the document is labeled. Um, please take a look at it. Let me know if you have any questions. All I need is the account number you're using in QuickBooks and I just need to know, um, what you call it. She's like I just need to know, like I just need to know what the account numbers are so we can start mapping this thing. And she says oh well, I don't see the document here. She showed me a screenshot of it. Fair enough, she doesn't have access to it, robert does and Robert has a copy, so I don't know why Robert didn't just share it with her. So anyway, I basically have the same conversation with them.
Speaker 1:Yesterday during the meeting that I had with them the prior week, and the project manager who was on with me was just backing up the original one who called me aggressive and I asked him. I was like hey, so how did my tone sound any type of way during this? Because I got some interesting feedback last time from Megan and I wanted to know if it's something I actually do need to improve on or if it's just a one time thing. And he was like he said the best answer there is and I'm going to read it to you. Let me see. Pull it up here real quick. Where's his name at there it is. So he says I said was my tone okay? I got some feedback from the last meeting with Megan. If there's an opportunity to improve, I'm open to it, he goes. Yeah, it was fine with me. He said I realized we haven't worked together. But just so you know, I want you to work how you're comfortable. Unless a leader or a client complains, I'm going to let you do your thing. This job is tough. I'm not here to police you. We rocking together.
Speaker 1:And I said she told me I came off a smidge aggressive last week and when I mentioned it to my manager she laughed. Like my manager was like okay, I need to hear what happened. So of course, I had my one-on-one with her yesterday. My manager and I told her what happened and then she was like, have you talked to her in person? Like do you know who she is? And it's not. I was like, yeah, I've talked to her in person, I've introduced myself and whatever. And it seems it seemed pleasant, uh, pleasant, like it didn't seem like anything was off, and she goes all right. Well, you know, it might have just been like a one-time thing and you know, if you wanted to ever just reach back out to her and let her know, you know the feedback that you received from jonathan, who was the project manager for that backed her up. Um, just let her know that the, the feedback you received yesterday during yesterday, like from yesterday's call.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I'm mincing my words. What I'm trying to say is is that she said that I should reach out to Megan and say that the other project manager did not share the same feedback and maybe get a better understanding. But I was like I don't really want to take it that far. I don't think it's that deep. I think it was either just herself or myself having a day and it just coming out in the call, and I honestly don't think it was me, I think it was more her, because I was trying to joke with her on the side about it, because nothing I said to her was said to the client. Like when they gave me an answer that I was like oh my God, okay, so they did nothing.
Speaker 1:I messaged her that I didn't say it in the call, but it was like whatever, fuck her, like I don't really care, like I'm here to get a job done. If you don't like how I do shit, then I don't know what to tell you. But I'm never not going to be honest and I'm never not going to stop sounding the way I sound, and if I'm frustrated it's because I'm not getting anything done with a client who needs something done, and you're the project manager and you're going to be on my ass about it. So excuse me if I sound frustrated that people who I've been in touch with since the beginning of January and had meetings with about this shit have got nothing done. I'm sorry if it comes out in my voice. It should come out in my voice because you're a fucking adult. So be a fucking adult and do your fucking job so I could do my fucking job. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like this isn't. This isn't a tea party, this isn't a birthday party. I don't have to duck around and be cutesy or whatever. I just do my job. I ask you for things and if you don't have them, you can't get pissed off at me for not being able to do my job. So, like, what is the actual problem? I don't know. I don't get it. Be you know, you should be. Just be a little bit cooler on them because they've been sick. I don't care if they've been sick. They've had this paperwork since before they were sick and now I'm being told by the representative who's supposed to be helping them build their shit on their side is trying to cut out and say he's not a part of the whole thing and I'm like, well, that makes no sense because he's the one building that side of it for you and we're supposed to work together on this. So no, he cannot opt out of helping you. He can't opt out, this is his project too. You. He can't opt out, this is his project too.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I'm so sick of people. I really am like the whole thing. And then you wonder why I get pissed off. Aggressive tone my dick. Okay, if you fucking want to hear aggressive, listen to this podcast. Cause I get aggressive. My tone at work is never aggressive.
Speaker 1:I'm overly friendly, which is probably why I'm so goddamn tired at the end of the day, because I'm too busy trying to be nice to everybody who walks up to me. If we were actually allowed to be who we were at work, wouldn't that be nice? If I was allowed to be this funny with my black humor and all this shit, like, do you think that I would be, you know, a little bit better after work? Like there's some days where I just come home, make dinner and pass out on my couch. I'm just so tired. Okay, I'm tired of people molding me into somebody. I'm not just to fit the situation over it.
Speaker 1:Anyway, the only thing keeping me alive and my brain working at work are these fucking puzzle books, because I legitimately still have nothing to do. And then when I get something to do, it's stupid tasks like oh well, I don't know why the file's not working in QuickBooks, because you're stupid. That's why it's because you're stupid, that's why it's because you're stupid and because you didn't ask me any questions and I assumed you were okay because you didn't tell me anything between the interim of me showing you a walkthrough and you being like oh, I've got up, I pulled every report up. All right, bitch, see you later. Transition to service Get out of here. You later. Transition of service Get out of here.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I really need to get back into reading. I really miss reading sometimes because the reality I'm dealing with is not as fun as the reality in a book and that we can all agree on. Okay, unless we're reading some historical shit. Okay, unless we're reading some historical shit. No, I'm not reading nonfiction anymore. I'm 35 years old. I'm living in a nonfiction world. Okay, and you can take that with whatever you want. I live in a nonfiction world in which people just do whatever the fuck they want and get away with it, or they get arrested, they get elected, or they star in movies.
Speaker 1:Speaking of, I finally got to watch some of SNL 50. I liked it. Didn't finish it, though, but I will. I have, I do. There's certain things that I do like and there's certain things that made me go. Oh, my God, my childhood, like. I remember staying up for that shit when I was actually at the age to do so and I was at the era of Jimmy Fallon, will Ferrell, sherry O'Terry, molly Shannon, um, chris Kattan forward, um, chris Catan forward. So all those people forward. We had Andy Sandberg, bill Hader, jason Sudeikis, kristen Wiig, um, no, kate McKinnon. I kind of like stepped out after that, um, I stopped watching. But, uh, keenan Thompson has been on it forever now. I love it, I love, I love SNL I don't like.
Speaker 1:The thing that I've told you before is I don't like when shows get political, when they start putting politics into it and thinking that that's funny, I turn it off. I'm like, I'm not. I'm not here for that. I'm here to escape all that shit. Do you understand that? You are my entertainment, away from what is going on outside my TV, like you are my takeaway from my pest situation. You are my takeaway from my bills. You are my takeaway from taxes, from anything stupid I'm like, from anything stupid going on in this world. You're my takeaway from it. You are my TV, you are my. You were my childhood. You were my thing. That helped me ignore when my grandfather and grandmother used to yell. You were my. Let me put the TV louder so they could scream at each other in the living room while I watched TV in the bedroom. That's what you were for me. You were my escape, just like video games are my escape.
Speaker 1:So when I decide to play video games and watch something on my screen, I'm attempting to just be in my zone. I'm attempting to be an introvert on a thousand. Okay, I'm just. While I'm playing video games. This is the best metaphor for just putting on a set of headphones and getting to work on whatever you want to do in your spare time. It's walking around your apartment naked. That's what it is. It's not giving a fuck what's going on around you. It's not caring who sees you, which is nobody, because you're not outside. It's I'm naked in my apartment and that's that. That's what putting on video game headsets are to me.
Speaker 1:When I put this shit on, I'm naked. Don't look at me. That's it. That's it. I'm just sitting here in my leather chair, naked, chilling, playing video games. It's not literally happening. It may have happened once, but that's because it was really hot. But I get cold in here now, so I'm fully clothed Right now. I got pajama, pants on a tank top and I got my robe and a blanket chilling. So that's what we're doing, but I'm living life. I'm living life.
Speaker 1:I'm simming, I'm fucking playing Avowed now, which is pretty cool. It's a good little time waster. We'll get into that in a second. But yeah, we're nude up in this bitch. When video games take hold, and that's gonna be the new thing. Alright, nude gaming. Imagine if that was my fucking name on anything. That would be so wild. What is this Sally Beauty letting me know some other shit? I don't need anything right now, but it's not making me spend money. Um, I think I got to get rid of the fruit in my fridge. Speaking of money, I would love some really good Chinese food right now. My mind's just bouncing between foods, like I just ate. I just ate and I feel like I need to take it out. Um, but yeah, so also we were discussing fucking in my old team chat.
Speaker 1:We were discussing a beverage wars kind of, and the debate was whether or not an energy drink is considered soda. Because we were saying things at the same time in the chat that one of the representatives was finally jinx you and me a coke. So I was like, do you even drink soda? And he was like does energy drinks count? And I said no, bruh. No, he's like well, it's, it's sweet and it's fizzy, and it's in a can. And I'm like, bruh, we can do that about anything. Okay, we can sweeten up jizz, put it in a can with some fizzy water. And there you go is jizz? Put it in a can with some fizzy water and there you go Is jizz going to be considered soda?
Speaker 1:That's absolutely insane. Let's put blood, fizz it up a little bit and put some sweetener in it. Is that soda? Is that an energy drink? Like what I'm, so done. And then of course, you know, I get my brain dead. Ex ex manager on. I'm like all right, here we go. King of the energy drinks is going to tell us right now if energy drinks are considered soda. And he was like well, and I said, well, this already seems like a bad idea, because this is what these drinks are doing to you. And he goes. I actually haven't had one in three weeks and I was like wow, what the hell. I was like, wow, okay, proud of you, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1:And he goes call that vitamin B poisoning. Because someone said someone said, oh, post New Year. And he's like how about post vitamin B poisoning? I didn't think you could get that from energy drinks. I know someone who got that off of supplements, like taking too much vitamin B extract or whatever. I know someone got that from that. I didn't know you could get that from an energy drink. And I'm like you know what doesn't do vitamin B poisoning, though I think someone mentioned it earlier, was it me? Oh, yes, it was me. You know what doesn't do that? Soda. And I was like it's all said out of love, but soda is not going to give you vitamin B poisoning bruh, the only thing it'll do is make you fat, fat and too much caffeine, which, whatever on that. But yeah, that was the debate this morning.
Speaker 1:And then we started getting into other drinks. He brought up, someone else brought up water, and then what was the other thing? Oh yeah, I brought up someone drowning on up water. And then what was the other thing? Oh yeah, I brought up someone drowning on milk during a fucking contest to win a playstation I think it was a four or five, like they had a on a radio show. They had a contest hey, how much milk can you drink? And some lady tried to chug it and she fucking died.
Speaker 1:But in any case, I'm really not doing that email today. I'll. I'll send the message to my uh. I'll send a message to one of my mentors who's been helping me and see what she says about it. But yeah, I'm just not. I'm not dealing with complicated shit when I work from home because I'm in my zone. So once I stop recording, I'm probably going to throw some laundry in and I'm just going to relax for the rest of the day until my sister gets here and bothers me.
Speaker 1:No, I love her. She's so funny, though All of a sudden she wants to be besties. And I'm like, bro, we never used to like this when you were younger. And you're like, yeah, because you hated me. And I'm like, yeah, you're damn right, cause you a whole drawer of all my shit when she was younger. So, of course, anytime something went missing like I could never leave anything out, like not even in the bathroom, which is a shared space I'd be like bro, where is my lipstick? She would have like four or five of them in the top drawer of her bureau. I was like, oh God, and she one time and this was hilarious, this made me so mad.
Speaker 1:You know how, when you get home from work and you want to snack on something and you just think about it, you just think about it all day, just twirls around in your mind all day, all day, all day. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom nom. Can't wait to get home and eat the fucking blah, blah, blah, whatever it is. You get home and my stepdad has done this shit, okay, and that's so annoying to me. My sister decided that she was going to take a bite of one of the buffalo wings I had in the fridge, put it back with the clean, untouched ones and put it back in the fridge, and my parents failed to see what is wrong with that and I was like I'm sorry, are you telling me that I should eat the contaminated wings that my sister decided to bite into one and put back in the container. I don't care if you eat one, it's the, it's the fact that you put the bit one back in with the unbit ones. Like come on, dude, use your brain, use your thinking brain on this. Absolutely insane to think that I'm going to eat the rest of those wings. I threw them out right in front of all of them and I was like why would you do something like this? And she was like I don't, I don't know, bro, that's not an answer, that will never be an answer. A future child will never say that to me. I'll be a pissed as fuck. Anyway, um, oh, also one more story about robot boy, and then I think I'm done because I don't have much this week.
Speaker 1:I was laughing because Robot Boy had fucking meeting after meeting yesterday and, sorry, this fucking smoothie is getting stuck in my throat. They fucking. This made me laugh so fucking hard, dude, oh my God. So he had meeting after meeting yesterday, like back to back to back to back to back, and it's like the end of the day now for me. It's like four o'clock and I'm hopping into a meeting real quick. I told them, though, I had to leave at four 30 cause I have an appointment. So at four o'clock he's well four, 15 ish he's walking by, I'm muted, I don't need to say anything. This is not my meeting. I'm not leading it, I'm just there sitting. So because the meeting went from four to five and I'm out at 430. I don't care, I'll say whatever, but I'm not staying till five Because that traffic from one minute to the next is bullshit, bullshit.
Speaker 1:So the robot boy goes. I get off my meeting at like oh no, this is before my meeting even happened. But I was laughing so hard. He goes. You know, I haven't even had a chance to eat yet. He goes. I was like, would you go eat please? Like, do us all a favor before you pass out. And he goes. He goes to try and eat. What the fuck? Okay, julia was stupid, I'm not even gonna read that. Um she, he goes. I haven't had a chance to eat. So I said go eat something real quick.
Speaker 1:So this man turns to walk, to go to the break room, I think, and he goes, uh, and the homie that sits near us goes hey, do you have a quick second to look at something? And I just like laughed. I was like oh my god, and no one said anything to me because I'm pretty sure they knew why I was laughing. But of course robot boy goes and looks out of the kindness of his heart and I'm like in my head, you heard this man just say he has not been able to eat yet today. Why wouldn't you just let him go eat? Let that poor skinny string bean of a person go eat his food. He's been on meetings since he got here, which is eight o'clock. It's now like 345. Okay, it's 345.
Speaker 1:Let the man go eat his pathetic little lunch so he could carry on with the rest of his stupid meetings. I'm pretty sure he's still got meetings to the end of his day, which is five o'clock, I'm sure. But I'm like absolutely outrageous, bruh. He's like can you just look at something really quick? No, let him go eat and come back. Let him go eat and come back. It's unnecessary to be like this. Okay, so that was like.
Speaker 1:And then I was talking to myself on the way home and people still drive like assholes, like I really can't believe how inconsiderate people are. Like it says don't block the intersection. And people still do that shit and I'm like I'm not moving. I'm like it says don't block the intersection. I'm a sister. I'm gonna sit right here and wait. If you want to go around me, you can go around me. Get wrecked. Anyway, what the fuck.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I was watching something of Jojo Siwa. She's terrible. Of Jojo Siwa, she's terrible. Um, let me see this shit. What the fuck. Anyway, I am sorry for all these pauses in between, but work is being stupid and I'm just chilling and I'm not. What if my nipples want to be the star of my outfit? Who am I to stop them? Insane internets. Anyway, I've got to go. The internet is trying to be stupid and I don't have time for it. Um, um, avowed is good, so here's let me. Actually, I'm not going to go yet. So I started playing Avowed.
Speaker 1:Yesterday I watched one of my favorite streamers play it. He said he gave it like a seven out of 10. I agree. There's things that they can add to it to make it less boring. I was streaming it in Discord and Dan was hanging in there watching it with me and he said it's a very, very slow burn. It's like the action style is not the same as Baldur's Gate, but it's very similar to that. So what it is is sorry if you hear all that noise on my computer, but what it is is. Sorry if you hear all that noise on my computer, but what it is is it's.
Speaker 1:You're basically a godlike Is what they're calling it and you are there to help with Something called the dream scourge. So essentially, what you're doing Is you're trying to eradicate this shit that is infecting creatures, land, people and all this other stuff. But on the way, obviously you encounter obstacles, such as other creatures, other infected things like that. I'm having fun with it. It's a good little time burner and it definitely does feel like Skyrim 2. But it's more fun and I think there's more direction in it and there's more color to it. I think Skyrim is a little bland color-wise, but the graphics are really good.
Speaker 1:The politics of the game itself are kind of meh Like. They're like oh, we hate your kind because this and that it's like all right, bitch. Well, I don't like you either and I have blades. So what are we going to do? What are we going to do about this? But it's fun so far. I'll tell you next week how it goes. Um, but it was.
Speaker 1:I have the Xbox game pass, so I'm playing like a $70 game for like 20 bucks and that makes my heart sing. So the boyfriend says it's a doo doo game and I'm like you know what. You could say whatever you want, bruh, but I don't have to sink money into it like Diablo Immortal. So I don't have to sing. Actually, I should say I don't have to sink money into it to have fun, because I feel like you can play Diablo Immortal but you're not going to get the shit you want without spending money. That's just facts. But this game I don't have to spend money on it to have fun. So I'm just going to keep progressing through the storyline and see what happens.
Speaker 1:But thank you so much for listening. This week my throat is getting dry, I'm getting a little tired and I still have two and a half more hours of work left. Quote unquote work left. So I'll catch y'all later and I love you guys so much. Thank you so much for listening. Please tell all your peoples about this. Let's grow this thing. I would at some point like to grow it a little bit more to get some merch going, maybe. I know that's a big dream, whatever, but maybe it'll be cool, it might be cool. Thank you so much, guys. Love y'all. Bye, thank you.
