    Trying to figure out how to play out the next bits of story,
    since there are too many options as to how to how the
    chapter can play out, and darn it I don't want to pull
    a Clue, and write all 4-5 of them.

    Profusely apologising for any offence it causes others that my long distance relationship with @Cave Troll isn't ecologically sound. Though I've no idea how it could be on account of there being a sizeable ocean between us. :bigconfused:
    If I were going on holiday, I could easily think of other places I would go before choosing Arizona. I'm not good with heat for one, and desert isn't my favourite landscape. :p

    Sitting here digesting my donuts and listening to youtube. Work was really good today, barley any rooms just did deep cleaning in halls and stairwells. Plus new hire training....I`ve been there since Easter....they get backed up. Got groceries...and prep supplies.....been a good night.

    Off tomorrow so excited for that. Off, Friday should be easy, off Saturday going out for the leap year, and then March begins with a bang with what is gonna be a fucking mess at work.


    Gotta enjoy the peace while I can.

    Discovering that the minimum wage in England is £8.21 per hour. In April it will increase to £8.72.
    To help put this into context, my second job when I was 19 was paying me £6 per hour. That was 13 years ago...

    Being creative and probably putting a bit too much effort in
    to a joke, but what the hell. :bigwink:
    Well I hope somebody will find it humorous. It took me about
    2hrs to cobble it all together. :)

    Honestly, it's not something I'd recommend stressing over. Especially because there are websites out there where you can pay to offset your travel emissions. If that's something you want to do.

    But it's your life and your happiness isn't going to kill the environment. Sure, we should all do more for it, but it's the big bois out there spilling plastic everywhere that make more of a difference.

    Before anyone gets offended by this response, I'm well versed in low waste and sustainability talk. But as one of my favorite YouTubers says, "you can't do all the good the world needs, but the world needs all the good you can do."

    Like I said. Your happiness isn't killing the planet. Have fun sweating too much and being like Anakin!

    Waiting for my hand to stop being half numb after
    cutting off the bottoms and rings from the cardboard
    coffee cans. Stuff is tougher than it looks. :p

    I was about to get all sarcastic here with some comment such as, "Wondering what I'll do with my extra £pittance) a week..." but when I worked it out it's going to mean an extra £80 a month to me! :eek:

    Wait. Is that right? I need to work it out again.

    £8.21 to £8.72 is an increase of £0.51. £0.51 x (roughly 8hrs) = £4.08 per day. £4.08 x 5 days = £20.40 pw. £20.40 x 4 weeks = £81.60

    Does all the metal have to come off? They make sideways can openers that leave a 'safety rim' around the opening. :)

    Exactly, do what you can for a better world but there`s a reason so many of these corporations support these green initiatives that are targeted at the consumer. It`s called passing the buck. "Oh oh don`t look at that factory drainage look at ...at STRAWS!"

    OT: Wasting my leap day so far. Only comes ever four years, was gonna go out to a blues event tonight but...it`s snowing and I don`t know if I feel like dealing with that. I hate that I keep doing this though, idk. Next leap year. Probably gonna play a game of DOTA: Underlords (been getting into auto battlers) and then...i`ll figure something out to make the leap day special.

    Had some ideas morphing and evolving in my head...not sure when those will get unleashed.

    Can`t belive it`s March tomorrow...gonna be a hell day at work....wanted to start using the pomerdarao method in March.

    May start that after my game.

    The internet has been pretty spotty the past two days, and so I'm going to take advantage of that nonsense and stay offline (after this post, obvs) and type up all that I've been working on the last two months. I sure as hell won't get it done today, but I've got some chocolate milk (bought a carton just for today's marathon writing) and I'm all set for a day of typing.

    A text conversation with my sister...

    Her: How are you feeling today?

    Me: I'm good. Sitting at work on a very slow Saturday reading and listening to Jazz on Pandora.

    Her: Jazz is good for the soul. What are you reading?

    Me: Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

    Her: When the hell did you get so cultured?
