That Moment...

TMW autocorrect is at it again:
I wrote "salves and poultices".....it was corrected to "slaves and politics"

 

Either of those would make an interesting writing prompt.

 

TMW you get invited to be part of two online game co-ops, when you're already in one, and can't join unless you leave the first.

Followed by

TMW you look at both offers, and discover that one of them isn't even English-speaking.

Followed by

TMW you wonder if this is what it's like to be popular.

 

That's a Peel P50

TMW you wonder why - Oh, why! - does your brain store things like this instead of something remotely useful???

 

Hey, it's Apocalyptically useful.

 

TMW you say to your wife, "At least it's good to be quarantined with someone I like being around all the time." And she replied, "must be nice."

 

I have to confess I lifted this from some FB post. Wife didn't really say it. But she did seem to laugh knowingly.

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one." —Mark 10: 7,8

"If you can't stand being alone with yourself, you're in bad company." —Jean Paul Sartre

TMW you work out how to beat hiccups, without drinking water or holding your breath. You just tip your head back for a while. No idea why, but it works.

 

That moment when you are forced to acknowledge the fact that yes, that inconveniently placed bum note on your ukulele really is as big a problem as you think it is, yes you really do need to get a new one, and NO it should not have taken wordless screams of frustration that could probably be heard in Hawaii to realise that.

 

TMW your employer cuts out 20% of your hours so they can attempt to achieve pre-COVID projected quarterly profits and not report a plan change to the stock exchange.

 

Time to grab the SEC whistle, and negotiate your Golden Finger.
