I'm tired. You're tired. Uh dad has the food ready, you can go back, eat, and sleep.
SPEAKER_01What did we eat? We asked me to tell you, I cannot see anything. And how many? How did you eat? That there's two different bowls. The thing one is made out of turkey.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01And the sick one is made out of pork. Okay. And the salad and the hotel. I tried both of them, they are actually not bad.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_00And we don't normally eat a shadow on Tuesday dinner.
SPEAKER_01Yesterday I was not at home, so that cooked the day.
unknownFair enough.
SPEAKER_01Can you still hear me when I put the mask on?
SPEAKER_02I think there is. Ah okay. Oh, with the game today? We're doing this thing with the DOM seven and eight. So three teams together. Yeah. And they're evaluating who goes into which two. And today we just did a bunch of exercises. Yeah. With like running and jumping, and that was a lot of work. Because you'd like have to sprint for five rounds. And then you'd have to jump over these things twice, and then you have to set up all not knocking into stuff. Jump on boxes. That was just a lot of third. And before that we played two against two, which just annoys me.
SPEAKER_01Why?
SPEAKER_02Because the field is so small that you can't hit in the field, you can't surf into the field. You can't do anything here. Not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_01But we're gonna play on Thursday, so today is not about the fun.
SPEAKER_02Also, we played against these two people who no offense were so bad. Which is like it's not their fault. I get it. I was there too once, you know. But like half an hour against people who can't even get one ball up, it's just kind of sad. Yeah. You've got at least you've got control. She she hits the ball and it goes into the other sky or something. I don't know, different universe.
SPEAKER_01She doesn't. She plays on seven. I played things.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, or it's mod.
SPEAKER_02Unless you think I hit the ball to stay.
SPEAKER_00But I can't.
SPEAKER_01No. Excited? No. I don't know why. I think my uh threat holds getting higher and higher. I get less makes anxiety.
SPEAKER_02I think I just try to get excited by things. No, not your life. That sounds really passive, guess not full. See, I was gonna meet my friend in the bathroom from a different class after one class ended, but she couldn't get out in time, which I didn't know, so she just wasn't there. And then I went to the bathroom again, and guess who comes out of the stall? The girl I wanted to meet. Yeah. What a coincidence, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Nah, I knew it. Okay, now that I'm trying to be a girl like you're talking to her.
SPEAKER_01Almost said okay, I should go to bed now. Me too. You can sleep together.
SPEAKER_02Wow.
SPEAKER_01I already broke spike my face.
SPEAKER_02Look.
SPEAKER_01And I'm like. I know. I had a headache. I be proud.
SPEAKER_02So you know my history teacher? He's really weird. But I feel bad making fun of him because I know he's really passionate about what he's doing. No, the thing is, like, he's doing such weird stuff though. Like what? Like, okay, first of all, he barges into the class and um makes us call him Ova's Magna. Do you know what that is? No. Like a lieutenant in the army. They have ranks, lieutenants are high ranks. Makes us salute to him and some. And like, as if we were in the army. And then he like wears three coats, two of them. One of them is from the World War I or two. I don't know. The other one is to honor his the Pope that he grew up with. But the thing is, he wears them all at once every single day without pail. Three winter coats on top of each other. And he keeps telling us he keeps singing in the middle of class in English, but I can't understand that his English. And then he keeps asking us about the same song over and over again. It's really annoying.
SPEAKER_01And is he mentally okay?
SPEAKER_03I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Maybe somebody need to talk to the genuinely.
SPEAKER_02But like he's really passionate. Oh, and he keeps telling us about the protests he's doing. And trying to get us to protest with him. But he's protesting for the right thing. Like, I just don't think you're supposed to tell your students to protest with him.
SPEAKER_01Right? I don't know. Like, who are sometimes the people in Europe are too in a different world. In China, people just busy working, making money, and nobody Yeah, but that's what I mean.
SPEAKER_02He's passionate about he's like planned the whole thing for us. It's just I think the thing he planned is weird. You know what else is weird? That girl cycling on nothing.
SPEAKER_01So you put your foot down. Maybe it's too tall for her. Maybe small.
SPEAKER_02But then again, why do you have a bike that's too tall?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's definitely too tall for her. Yeah. So she's not uh bad, she's smart. Not smart enough to get a bike in size. Maybe she gets some line money, this bike is from someone else, uh, old bike. We do that often when we were kids. We ride old bikes from Perl.
SPEAKER_02I wrote dad's bike once and I just went off, but I feel like in retro's bike there could have been a different bigster. But obviously, you're too positive today.
SPEAKER_01I think I just remember everything from just today. Today there was uh one person which is very difficult to work with, and uh she my boss came and said uh she's going to retire. The woman or your boss? Uh the woman. Oh like a good oh yeah, then I I normally uh pretty straightforward. And then people like uh like uh you're two three. I said, No, I generally celebrate uh anybody who's going for early retirement. I think it's a thing good thing to celebrate. I would uh like I will go for early retirement as well. Nothing to do with this person. You you sure didn't have anything to do with the personality? No, because uh last week we now have another person in our group uh uh my peer and uh uh we have very good relationships, but he's also going for early retirement. I also just conversion to him.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01You go home earlier, you still get paid, why not?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I know I know I feel like in the context it just made it seem like you didn't like your lot.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, even for example, I love my job, but still I get paid without doing my job. Then if I want to do a job, I can do another job, I get more money, right?
SPEAKER_02Well, you can get another job when you're retired, huh? Yeah, you can. Oh, okay. Okay, well. You okay, I've gotta admit something, you really scare me out that corner. Why? I mean this with no this this this would harm to you.
SPEAKER_01No, it's okay.
