1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,720 Hey! Testing! Welcome to the Thicc AF Podcast everyone. Welcome back! We're here today to 2 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,240 talk about our lives and to give you some entertainment. And get caught up with each 3 00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:23,240 other. Woohoo! 4 00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:44,440 Okay. So we wanted to talk about some, some pet peeves at work that, um, most every day 5 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:51,800 something happens and someone gets on my nerves at work and we both work from home. So sometimes 6 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,720 those pet peeves are different when you're working from home versus like at the office. 7 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,360 So like when you're at the office, you know, a big one I would think is like people bring 8 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,200 a tuna fish to work or like microwaving their salmon in the microwave or like the printer 9 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,720 getting jammed and they're like pissed off because the person just left it or whatever, 10 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,840 you know? Or like, I don't know. 11 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,800 That's hilarious because when I was like really heavily getting like Home Chef and Hello Fresh 12 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,720 and stuff like that, I would definitely get salmon and I brought it to work. 13 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,600 Well say, I think it's not as bad. Like if you ate it cold, it probably wouldn't stink, 14 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,560 but then you put it in the microwave and it microwaved fish. Just, I don't know what it 15 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,280 does to it. It just like releases the toxins. There's probably some, some science behind 16 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,880 it that I don't know. I don't know what the science is, but anyway, so I'm going to go 17 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,920 and say, I've got a list of pet peeves that I've come up with and I have more, but, and 18 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:58,920 I'm sure my friend, my friends Rose and Diane have heard all of my pet peeves because I 19 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,480 complain to them all the time about the things that people do to me or they don't do it to 20 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:12,040 me. I mean, they do it at me or around me and I'm like, seriously? And I'm not going 21 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,920 to say any names on who, who does it obviously, but you're forgiven if you know who you are. 22 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,320 So don't get mad at me because you know what? I probably do something that pisses you off 23 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,000 as well. All right. So one of my biggest ones, and this is not like, this isn't really a 24 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:38,160 pet peeve because I still do it, but like, why do we use the sign off? Thanks for emails 25 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,760 when we're not really actually thanking anybody for anything. Is this supposed to like a sincerely 26 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,320 or sincerely? Yeah. But like also sincerely, if you said sincerely, everybody would think 27 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:58,600 you're from the 1900s or like not in 1800, excuse me. But if, and, and are you really 28 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,240 sincere? I don't know. So I don't know. Like that and like regards, like I feel like, and 29 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,520 then people use best. So it depends, you know, I feel like there's a culture. What are you 30 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,760 like? I don't like best. What does your company use? Thanks. Does everybody use thanks? Well, 31 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,520 I mean, it depends. Like if I really want somebody to reply to me, like quickly, I'll 32 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,400 probably say thanks so much with an exclamation point. Yeah. Because I just want to be like 33 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,680 extra thankful that you're going to help me hopefully in a quick manner. Yeah. Well, so 34 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:35,640 like I've been at other places where I've worked, places of work, workplaces, and they've 35 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,760 used the culture is like different and everybody use either like regards or best or something 36 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,580 like that. And then we've worked, I've worked with other companies where they have different 37 00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:49,880 sign offs and they're like, Oh, well, this is what you know, and it's just a culture 38 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,640 and I think it's so weird. We don't have a standard as far as anything that needs to 39 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,120 be used. Well, not that has needs to be used, but just like what people use. And so like 40 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,440 one person uses it, like say the CEO uses it. So then everybody else does it because 41 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,520 they want to be like the CEO. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I, I know that 42 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,900 I see some, you know, different things. A lot of it is external. I think that I noticed 43 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:19,840 more than anything. Thankfully, you know, I work for a company where there's rapid, 44 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:23,840 you know, responses because we use teams and you know, things like that. So there's not 45 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:27,760 a lot of not, I mean, I'm not going to say there's not a lot of, but like my, the mass 46 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:35,160 majority of my communication is with clients and it's external. Yeah. Yeah. I feel you. 47 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,620 But don't you think it's weird that you'll be like, thanks, even though you're not asking 48 00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:44,800 for anything like, Hey, here's this stuff. Thanks. Here's all the stuff I did for you. 49 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Thanks. But what if it's just like a thank you for acknowledging, paying attention, receiving 50 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,120 my email. Okay. Well, I can get that, but like, you don't have to ask for something 51 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,320 to say, thank you. You can be informative. Just thanks for your time. Okay. Well, I guess 52 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,120 that makes more sense now. Well, thank you for helping me with that because that has 53 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,120 been like, I've been like cringing every time and I type it myself. I'd be like, type it 54 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,800 every single time. Thanks. And I'm like, I'm not thanking anybody, but this is what everybody 55 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,320 uses. So I'm going to do it too. Cause I am the follower. What are you going to say? Bye. 56 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,840 Don't email me back. Yes. Please don't email me back. Also don't send me an email that 57 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:28,240 says, okay, this is, I'm going to go to another one. Okay. Don't send me an email that says, 58 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,400 can you please call me? Please call me when you have a chance. I'm like, I'll look at 59 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,880 my phone and be like, did I miss a call from this person? Oh no, I didn't miss a call. 60 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,440 I didn't miss anything. That person just is trying to pass the ball to me because they 61 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,240 don't want to pick up the phone and call me. And they want it. They want it to be like, 62 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Oh, Oh, well I told you to call me. Oh no, honey. This is your deal. You don't get to 63 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,640 tell me to call you for your situation. Yeah. No, that makes me so mad. Well, I was just, 64 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,200 I was not thinking on that same wavelength when you first said that because I was like, 65 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,020 I would much rather somebody like reach out to me and say, can you call me or whatever 66 00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:10,040 than randomly calling me without giving me a heads up as to what this conversation is 67 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,920 going to be about. But I see what you're saying. It's not a forewarning that we're about to 68 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800 have a conversation. It's a, I'm putting the ball in your court because I don't want to 69 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,640 pick up the phone and handle this myself. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Or it could be a, I just 70 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,440 get an, I don't get any context behind anything. It's just please call me. And I'm like, about 71 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,480 what? I'm not, I'm not dropping what I have, what I'm working on right now to call you 72 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,760 for something that I know is may or may not be urgent enough to drop all the other urgent 73 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,400 things that I'm working on. So if you want to tell me, if you want to call me, I'll answer 74 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,960 the phone or, and if I don't answer the phone is because I'm working on maybe something 75 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,960 urgent or I'm on the phone call and I'll call you back, but let me know what it is that 76 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,640 you need to talk about so that I can triage the stuff that I'm working on. Like, I can't 77 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,040 be like, yeah, I can't be like, they're like, please call me. And then they're like, Hey, 78 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,960 there's no toilet paper in the bathroom or some crap. Not that people would ever call 79 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:15,600 me about that. But yeah, I, I get that to a point. I guess I do not hesitate to ask. 80 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,440 I mean, of course I've developed relationships with certain people, you know, that are better 81 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,200 than others. And I know that I don't really have to like preface if I need something. 82 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,640 I just need to say, Hey, do you have five minutes? I need to run this by you or whatever. 83 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,080 And I'm not explaining that being like, I need to run this by you. Not like, please 84 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,440 call me. I'm like, you know what? Why don't you just pick up the phone and call somebody? 85 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,360 Yeah. I mean, I'll ask somebody, you know, Hey, do you have a second? Can I call you? 86 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,960 You know, whatever. Um, but I'm definitely not giving like a prep message of this is 87 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,720 what I'm about to call you about. Because if I did, if I wanted to type it, I would, 88 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,760 I obviously have a conversation because I'm asking you if I can call you. 89 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:02,620 I also don't like it when people call me for one thing. So, or like they call me for one 90 00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:08,400 thing or I call them for one thing. And then they, that person changes the subject and 91 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,320 goes off on like four or five other things. And I'm like, just trying to get an answer 92 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,720 for the one thing. It should be like a 30 second conversation, two minutes, maybe five 93 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,280 minutes at the most, but it ends up being like a 15, 20, 30 minute call about stuff 94 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,320 that I didn't call about. And then now my brain is on these four other things that you 95 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,900 asked me about. And I'm like, I'm out of my flow. I'm confused. And then I have to dig 96 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:39,680 up all this other stuff for these other things. And I'm like, why don't you just set up a 97 00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:44,120 meeting? Like if you need to talk about these other things, I called you for, so sometimes 98 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,640 I like, if I need something from someone and I want to call them, I won't call them because 99 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,800 I know that that person is going to go off on some four other things. 100 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,480 That's awful that you feel like you have to avoid somebody when you truly need help because 101 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,200 you know that it is going to be an off the rails conversation. 102 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,760 When it's not off the rails, it's like of other stuff that's happening, but it's like, 103 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,560 yeah. So it just like, I just, it's a pet peeve of mine if I call you for one thing 104 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:17,040 and then you, like I'm trying, it's like one topic. 105 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,840 A misuse of time. Really? 106 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,440 Yes, really. Yeah. And it's, oh, so I read this thing and I think it's like in the New 107 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,400 York times or something like that, that there are studies that say that like, and I don't 108 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,120 know the exact study or what it is. And honestly, I don't even know if it's like legit. I will 109 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,840 have to do some more research. So don't call me out. But apparently somewhere there are 110 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:48,720 studies that show that if you, that on average to get back on a task after an interruption, 111 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,880 it takes like 25 minutes or something like that, like 23 to 25 minutes to get back on 112 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:59,520 task after an interruption, which is like crazy to me, but it's the truth. Like, cause 113 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,120 now, cause then I'm like, okay, I got an interruption and now I've got to sort through all whatever 114 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,680 they said, Hey, I need to do the, you know, talk about this. And now I'm like focused 115 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,760 on something else. And then I see that stuff. And then maybe you go down a rabbit hole on 116 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:19,400 that just 25 minutes later, you're like, Oh, what was I working on? And then honestly, 117 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,280 sometimes I've done that and I've gone back and I've lost, I've had to like start over 118 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,400 on like some, like, you know, some type of like math problem or something, not, you know, 119 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,000 calculating things that I've been working on. So that's a pet peeve of mine. I don't 120 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,600 know. It sounds like you have like the best work job and nobody does anything bad. And 121 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,640 I'm like, no, I mean, like we don't have to talk about your job now, but like any other 122 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:48,000 jobs. Yeah, no, I mean, I, I get that. I think the probably, and I mean, it wasn't the worst 123 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,840 experience, definitely not in the beginning, but like I worked in a call center a long 124 00:10:52,840 --> 00:11:00,280 time ago and big pet peeve of mine was like, you know, just coworkers like misusing, you 125 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:06,120 know, their time and, you know, accidentally like hanging up on people when it's, you know, 126 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,040 their shift is over. Cause we had people coming in at, you know, all different times, like, 127 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,840 um, like seven, eight, nine, you know, you had people that would work nine to six and 128 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880 stuff like that. And then like, you know, the call center were closed, but you know, 129 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,000 when it was like four o'clock and it was time for somebody to go, sometimes they would just 130 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,720 like fake hang up on people. And that was like so disrespectful to everybody else who 131 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,240 was like working a different shift and still in the queue. Like it's unfortunate, but sometimes, 132 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,600 you know, I could get a call at, you know, 359 when I'm supposed to leave at four. What 133 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,120 were they calling you about? This was when I worked for a medical software company. So 134 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,480 these were like doctors and nurses and dentists and you know, things like that. Yeah. Calling 135 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:51,240 in IT help kind of stuff. Yeah. I mean, basically, I mean, they were, we, they purchased our 136 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,000 electronic medical record software. So if they ran into an issue, you know, while they're 137 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,180 charting for a patient or something, that patient could be sitting in the room and they're 138 00:11:58,180 --> 00:12:01,680 calling us because they're having an issue. We need to be answered. I didn't know you 139 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:06,560 did that. And that's interesting. Oh yeah. I mean, I really did like the job for sure. 140 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:10,800 We got, went through a merger acquisition. And then after that, you know, I stuck around 141 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,600 for a couple of years, you know, trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel and 142 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:20,920 that never happened. And at one point I was managing 31 people by myself in a call center. 143 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,960 And I was like, uh-uh, I was on call 24 seven. I could not go on vacation, you know, have 144 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,520 a weekend. I mean, we had people on call 24 seven because of what we did, you know, people. 145 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:39,040 Yeah. So yeah, that's, that's difficult. I would not now. I mean, I might if I had to, 146 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:45,080 but I would not purposefully take a job where that was going to be my life, where I was 147 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,240 going to have to like fake hang up on somebody. But if I needed to be at something like, what 148 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,320 if you had a kid and I mean, honestly, I get that kind of like if they need to plan for 149 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,360 that, but, um, yeah, I mean, and that is life and it wasn't something that, you know, happened 150 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,540 all the time. And there were definitely times that we worked with people that had children. 151 00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:05,680 And if somebody else was still around and they weren't on a call, then we would transfer 152 00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:11,120 that to them and let that person get out of there. I mean, it, you know, I mean, that's 153 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,760 just messed up. Yeah. It was crazy. And I mean, we were in our early twenties at that 154 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,320 point. Like, I mean, this is entry. It was entry level work. You know, we're making $30,000 155 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,840 a year. Nobody truly gave a shit about that job. You know, most of the people anyways, 156 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,360 like that said, they were, yeah, that's, yeah, yeah. Like not showing it. And that was probably 157 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,800 pet peeve for me at the time, especially when I started to manage the group. When you're 158 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,640 supposed to be there at a certain time to start and be in a queue. So, you know, there's 159 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,200 limited number of people there on off hours. So like, if you're a 7 a.m. person, you need 160 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:53,240 to be asked in seat in the queue at seven o'clock, not at 7 10, not at 7 15. You're leaving 161 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,040 your coworkers hanging at that point. Yeah. Well, and that's with any, I mean, that's 162 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,000 with that job. That's also with other jobs like nursing jobs. You have to hand off your 163 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,400 patients, things like that. That's with restaurant jobs. Right. That's, you know, my job's not 164 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,560 like that because nobody hands their work off to me. If I'm not there, my job doesn't 165 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:17,160 get done. Yeah. I mean, unless there's something like really urgent or something. And then 166 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,440 my boss will probably which that's a tough spot to be in because you know, I think the 167 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:28,420 culture of the workplace is changing and there are some companies, you know, that have added 168 00:14:28,420 --> 00:14:32,760 more holidays, you know, just not I don't know if they're considered federal holidays, 169 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,920 but you know, just calendar year holidays. There used to be I think probably like eight 170 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,360 for some folks. I think we have something around 11 or 13 crazy like that. And, you 171 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,160 know, we have unlimited PTO, but that's not something that everybody can do. And it's 172 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,560 not, you know, always encouraged. And I know if you know what you're saying is it's got 173 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,400 to be hard for you to take a vacation because if you're the only one doing it and no one 174 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:06,160 is covering for you, then you are backed up when you get. Oh, yeah. 100%. Yeah. Okay. 175 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,880 So yeah, that I mean, that is definitely it's it's not it's not fun. But honestly, I kind 176 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:17,360 of like that. There's not somebody else doing my job because my the way that my job is is 177 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,480 done. If you if I were to pass it off to somebody else, like if we had other people that came 178 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,480 in like the next day or in a different shift or something and did my job, it would be all 179 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,400 jacked up and nobody would know what was going on because you'd and then you'd have to have 180 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,200 a lot of long conversations of like, here's what happened and this is what I did. And 181 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,720 just to try to figure it out. So like it's more of it's not like we don't have like I 182 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,680 mean, I do have some little things here and there, but like it's not like tasks that I 183 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,400 get done. Like you were saying the other day that you're like very task oriented. Yeah. 184 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:56,120 My job is, I mean, not necessarily like a task. Check it off your list type of job. 185 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:02,080 It's a very ongoing project type of thing. And yeah, yeah, I'm just in a different place 186 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,600 as far as that goes. I mean, some of my projects I've had for a long time, you know, just because 187 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:14,760 they are bigger projects, you know, what have you. But a, you know, general project for 188 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,440 my job is four to six weeks. So it's a very quick turnaround, which I'm used to because 189 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:27,040 at my old job, our turnaround was about 45, 60 days. So I mean, it's about the same timeframe, 190 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:33,440 little bit, maybe less now, but also sometimes way longer now. So I mean, it just depends. 191 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,720 But I mean, I'm literally checking things off a list like a check it like we have a 192 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,120 smart sheets, you know, that has percentages that'll tell us when, you know, if I've marked 193 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,120 this 100% complete this line item, then it tells me I've gotten to like 43% completed 194 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,000 the entire project type thing. So very task oriented. Yeah. And that's interesting. It's 195 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,720 very different than, but we can talk about pet peeves. That is the pet peeve I have. 196 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,920 That spreadsheet is jacked up and nobody will fix it. And it's so irritating. And if you 197 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,280 edit it because it has all these, all your people are listening, by the way. Oh my gosh. 198 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,720 It has these, well, they may agree with me. They may not. I don't know. My boss knows 199 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,840 how I feel. Um, but it has all like these predecessors. And so it's not just, you know, 200 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,680 a predecessor of like line 28 is dependent on line 27. It could be that 27 and 28 start 201 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,000 at the same time. So you have to mark it a certain way and you have to put like a minus 202 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,280 one if it only takes like, if it's done same day or whatever. And I'm just like, not very 203 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,360 good at that. So I feel like I poorly manipulate the spreadsheet, which probably makes things 204 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:35,240 worse. User error. So basically you hate it because of yourself. So there's probably some 205 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,160 smart person out there that created it. That's like, you're just doing it wrong. If I could 206 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,680 teach you, you would just understand it. You would love it. Oh, 100%. There were many times 207 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,960 throughout this one project that I have going on right now and we've had during my one-on-ones 208 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,520 with my boss, which I have every single week, there have been multiple times where he's 209 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:59,720 like, we have to fix your project plan. Like, I think I get it fixed. And he's like, no, 210 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:07,040 Sarah. And I'm like, okay. Yikes. Anyways, do you have any other pet peeves you want 211 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:15,280 to talk about? I have a pet peeve when people don't respond on Teams in a timely manner. 212 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:21,480 Like what do you consider timely? Same day. So teams, depending on what time it, like 213 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,440 the message, if I send it at 4.55, then no, I don't expect you to respond the same day. 214 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,840 We don't do, so we message all the time and that, I don't, it's kind of a pet peeve. Like 215 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,200 we have a group message. It, so, I mean, people are asking questions and it's product, it's 216 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:42,840 work conversation. It's not, you know, just la dee da type, whatever. Like it's legit 217 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,840 work conversation, but it goes off all day long sometimes. And it drives me crazy. And 218 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,600 I have to mute it because I want to answer and I want to participate and I want to go 219 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,440 back and look at it. That's how I feel about my Facebook messenger with the supper club. 220 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,800 I'm like, what is even happening? I'm still trying to catch up from last Wednesday. Like, 221 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,880 hello. That's just because you're bad at Facebook messenger. But one time my boss messaged me 222 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,200 on, or I messaged him on like a Thursday. It was like the following Tuesday and he was 223 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,480 like, Oh, I missed your message from yesterday. And I was like, I'm sorry. That was from last 224 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960 week, but thank you for the reply. Like, what the hell. 225 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,680 Oh my God. If I had to add like Teams messenger or like some type of messenger to all the 226 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,880 things, the ways that I get communication at work or like another software or something, 227 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:36,520 I might like throw myself into the wall like the Kool-Aid man. I'm like, Oh yeah. But no, 228 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:45,480 but oh no. I would not like, I'm so glad that we don't have that like Teams culture of messaging 229 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:51,080 because we already have the emails and then I have a cell phone. So people text me, people 230 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,960 call me. It's, it's just too, and then it's a lot. Yeah. I mean, that's all, that's all 231 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,920 we have. So like our meetings are in Teams and stuff like that, but it's, it can be overwhelming 232 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,960 sometimes in that kind of stuff overwhelms me because I, like you just said, you know, 233 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,440 if it takes 25 minutes to refocus, every time I hear that damn ding, I'm like, Oh, this 234 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,480 is killing me. Like it's killing my vibes and everything. And I just, sometimes I have 235 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,600 to remove myself. Not, I mean, I'm not taking myself out of the chat or anything, but I 236 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,840 have to mute it. And then sometimes it'd be like, why didn't I get that message? Oh wait, 237 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,280 I muted them because it was overwhelming, you know, three days ago, whatever. Right. 238 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,400 Yeah. No, I can't with that. And it's like, I just want like one way of communication, 239 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,280 like send me an email and I will get to the email after the one that I had before that. 240 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,080 Right. But it's, that's not how it works. And I get that it's just, it would be a lot 241 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,080 easier if we didn't have a hundred different things. And then people are like, let's, let's 242 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,640 get another software to make this process easier. And I'm like, okay, but to, in order 243 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,640 to do that, you have to have somebody that does the work to put it into that software. 244 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,080 And like that takes extra time. Well, not only that, but to implement it with y'all 245 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,560 too. Well that, the implementation would take a, it would be a short period of time, which 246 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,560 would be okay. But then after that, somebody actually has to maintain it and like continue 247 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,800 and like put like data entry type stuff. Yeah. And I'm not going to, I don't have time for 248 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,480 that. I've already got enough stuff to do. I'm sorry. Like, and that's what we'll have, 249 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,520 like right now there's something that they want to like add something to. And I just 250 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,560 have a feeling that because of the way that my job is and the, because of how I am, all 251 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:38,040 the work would be like putting, put on me. Yeah. And, and honestly I would probably, 252 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,880 if they did force me to do that, I would want to be the person that did the work for that 253 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,440 because I feel like this is terrible. I should not say this, but honestly, I feel like somebody 254 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,160 else might mess it up. You know what I mean? Then that's a terrible thing to feel, but 255 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:59,680 I mean, yeah, but I understand that if you know, you delegate to somebody else and then 256 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,600 you're either having to take the time to tell them, you know, what to do. So you attempt 257 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,760 to make sure that it gets done right. But then you either have to go two routes. If 258 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,520 somebody else has done something, you have to let it live the way that it is and trust 259 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:18,200 that they did it right. Or you have to double back and you know, check and make sure. And 260 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840 then you might as well have done it the first damn time yourself anyway. Right. And it would 261 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,160 have been a lot quicker. Right. Yeah. It's just like, it's a cat delegation is a catch 262 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,760 22 for sure. Yeah. So I don't know. Sometimes I have to like delegate and just be like, 263 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,760 don't look at it. Don't look at it ever. Don't ever look at it ever again. Just hope that 264 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,320 they did it right. Exactly. Fingers crossed. Let's see. Like a whole, what do they call 265 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:46,640 it? A Hail Mary. Yeah. Let it live. Oh my God. So, you know what? Another thing like 266 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,960 that I don't like is when you schedule a meeting or somebody schedules a meeting and there 267 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,120 are people that are essential to that meeting or there's somebody that's like higher than 268 00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:01,320 me that the other people are like relying on that person to be there because they don't 269 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,920 either trust me or they they want that person's opinion. And that person that's essential 270 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:13,680 to that meeting shows up 10, 15 minutes late or the person that is you're supposed to have 271 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,200 the meeting for is like 10 minutes late. And you know, it's like, okay, now we've got to 272 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,920 catch you up on what we just talked about because we started because I didn't want to 273 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:29,080 waste anybody's time. And now we've got to go back and tell you what we just talked about. 274 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,840 And now we're wasting 10 more minutes. And now we're halfway through the meeting and 275 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,500 we skip we missed all this stuff. So it's just, it's annoying. Show up to your meetings 276 00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:43,560 on time. And I do. I'm like, I've been late to meetings accidentally. Yeah, 100%. And 277 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:49,600 I'm sorry, but you know, like, not usually 10 minutes. No, I don't think I've ever been 278 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:56,200 10 minutes too late to a meeting ever. I really don't. I mean, and there are a handful of 279 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,680 times that yeah, you're right. I've forgotten about a meeting or something else has run 280 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,640 over. But I mean, it's very easy to notify somebody that you're going to be running late. 281 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,600 Yeah, very easy. And then also, it's like, why do we schedule meetings that we don't 282 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,800 need meetings for? I have a lot of people that I work with that are just like, oh, let's 283 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,840 get a meeting. Let's get a meeting. And I'm like, why? We don't need a meeting. You're 284 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,720 just wasting an hour of my time. And we don't, they don't schedule 30 minute calls where 285 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:27,520 I live, where I work there. It's always an hour. No. And then 30 minutes of it is spent 286 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:33,600 on talking about something else. Yeah. I think it's not, I'm over exaggerating a lot of this 287 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,680 stuff. Probably. I mean, I understand what you're saying. It's frustrating. There are 288 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,060 times where a 30 minute meeting definitely doesn't get it done. Like we had one of those 289 00:24:42,060 --> 00:24:46,560 today. Like they threw, we're, you know, the, our managers came up with three goals for 290 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,320 us and we have to take, we had to create two personal goals. Well, while they're telling 291 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,280 us these goals, of course we have questions, you know, about them. And so not only, you 292 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,040 know, are they trying to tell us what these goals are and kind of explain, you know, why 293 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:05,280 they came up with and, you know, the, I get all the expectations, what have you. And then, 294 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,920 you know, it teaches how to literally put them in the system, you know, that we're using. 295 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,960 Yeah. It takes a lot of extra time. Yeah. Well, in more than 30 minutes when, I mean, 296 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,520 at one point there were like five. Sometimes more than an hour possibly. Yeah. There were 297 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,160 like five hands raised and it was, you know, it's one of those tough things where it's 298 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,440 like. Hands raised like the, like the, do people actually use the raise hand thing in 299 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,560 teams? Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's hilarious that they do that. Well, I like it. I would 300 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,000 just be like unmute. Hey. Well, I like it though, because it, I don't want to interrupt 301 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,840 somebody in the middle of their thought and I don't do it often, but I did do it today 302 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:41,040 because I didn't want to interrupt the person that was talking. But it also puts you in 303 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,360 a queue. So it tells you who raised their hand first and that sort of thing, which I 304 00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:51,160 do like because well, first I was first. That's why you like it because you were first. Well, 305 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,720 I mean, I liked it today because I was first because I got, you know, the opportunity to 306 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,960 ask my question and there were people that did not get the opportunity to ask questions, 307 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,800 but I do like it, how it queues you up or whatever. Because I think that's important. 308 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,120 I mean, if you were the first one to come up with a question and you raise your hand 309 00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:11,200 first, then you should be called on first. Whatever. You ain't first or last. No, I'm 310 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:20,440 just kidding. Well, okay, Ricky Bobby. So what about when somebody, so this happens to me 311 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:26,200 a lot, somebody like copy CCs or copies carbon copy, even though that's not even like a thing 312 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,360 anymore. Do they still have those, those little check things? Choo-choo carbon copy. Yeah, 313 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:37,920 they still have them. Where do they use them? Well, I when I moved the guys who like moved 314 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,560 me or whatever, they had to like call into the place and they give my credit card. Well, 315 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,680 no, I mean, they gave my credit card number, but the paperwork that they completed was 316 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:53,200 that. But no, those, I mean, those like things that like, you know, okay, yeah, but still 317 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,800 carbon copies are this interesting that they still use those. But I guess you don't have 318 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,720 to scan. I guess you could scan it to your phone. I don't know. Yeah. But I mean, in 319 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,040 that situation, I mean, they're not, who knows how many movers they have working for more 320 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:11,360 than you do. Get them all iPad so you can use DocuSign. No, yes. It's it's a green initiative 321 00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:16,920 or something. Well, I mean, I agree with that, but I don't think that the that's a big investment 322 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,000 for a company. Do you know how much it costs to buy paper for a company? It is so expensive. 323 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,640 They could save so much money. Okay, we won't go on that because not paper is so expensive. 324 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,280 I literally don't give a shit. I do. I mean, I give a shit about paper being expensive 325 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,160 and the environment, but I'm just saying like, I don't care about this moving company right 326 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:41,600 now. Right. So, okay. So when somebody CCs me on an email and they're like adding Emily 327 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,880 and I'm like, what does that mean? Adding me for what? Like, and then there's 40 page 328 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:52,360 dissertation email chain that I've got to sort through and figure out what the heck's 329 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:58,280 happening and I don't even know why they copied me. I do that sometimes. Why? But hear me. 330 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:05,440 Oh, okay, Linda. That's the worst. Just hear me out though. I'll do it, but I do. It depends 331 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:11,360 on who I'm adding or whatever. Like if I, I don't know, I will do that sometimes, but 332 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:16,960 it's very clear in the previous email what the question is. Is it a 40 page dissertation 333 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,640 email? Not always, but if it is, I will pull whatever I need to. With 15 emails copied 334 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,960 to it. Yeah, I understand, but I will pull whatever bit that I need the help with and 335 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,920 put it to the top. And that's nice. Yeah. I mean, that's, so this is, oh, adding Emily. 336 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,240 Assuming that somebody is going to figure out what is going on in like a 14 day email 337 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:43,080 chain is just fucking ridiculous. It is rude and it's lazy and those people should be not 338 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:48,480 able to have jobs. I'm adding Emily because, because why? Yeah. And hey, and then I'm adding 339 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,040 Emily because she can help with this. And then at the bottom, Emily, hey, see below 340 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:59,040 where this, this, and this happened. And, or here's a screenshot or I highlighted below 341 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,320 exactly what you need to know. And this is what, why I added you. And can you please 342 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:09,120 do this? Absolutely. Do you know how much faster it is for that person? Because you've 343 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,240 already, do you know how many people that have probably been added to that email since 344 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:19,360 the beginning of it that have had to spend time and time and extra time to get through 345 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,600 it? It's just wasteful. Replying all after you received that and being like, what is 346 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,440 your question or what do you need help with? Oh, I do. Oh honey, don't you worry. I'm like, 347 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,800 what was needed? Is there a question on this? Like, excuse me, huh? I play dumb, but I am 348 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,800 dumb because I'm like, I'm not spending all day reading through this. You're not dumb. 349 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,600 You're misinformed and uninformed about what's needed. And is it, nobody's being clear. Is 350 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:50,440 it laziness? Maybe. But is it laziness on my part or their part? Probably both. But 351 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,200 honestly it's more their part. But why would you make an assumption about what is needed 352 00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,720 instead of just being straightforward and saying, can you be clear about the information 353 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,160 that you're requesting from me? Exactly. Because otherwise let's just be hypothetical and say 354 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,960 you make an assumption and they're like, no, that's not what's needed at all. Okay. Well, 355 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,240 you didn't tell me. So I answered you. Yeah. Yeah. You just said copying. So I just thought 356 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,800 I was supposed to read the email and here we are again. I was supposed to do anything 357 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,200 zero ground zero, trying to figure out what the hell you need. Cause you didn't tell me 358 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:28,880 the first time. Exactly. Yep. That is, Oh, that's annoying. So many annoying things. 359 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,360 Um, let me see. Let me see. Back to singing folks. Gotta love it. Lord have mercy. You 360 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,520 know what? So the days, so some days I have a lot of these pet peeves happen and some 361 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,680 days and these pet peeves don't really happen that often. I mean they do, but I have some 362 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,920 other things that really take me off, but we won't get into those because they're just 363 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:53,160 real. But so some mornings I'm like, I wake up and it'll be like first thing in the morning, 364 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,960 I get an email from the one person that drives me nuts at work, which you know, not really, 365 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,840 there's not really one person, but it'll be like the one thing that like, just like, really 366 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:09,040 did you have to do that at eight AM? Or like it was like based in it at seven 30. And so 367 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:14,280 it was like the first email in my inbox and I'm like, Oh, for real. Uh, and so I have 368 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:19,480 to play that song good day. I think it's called good by nappy roots. Oh man. It gets me pumped 369 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:25,480 up every time. Gotta have a good day. Hey, and um, I was, ain't nobody going to die today 370 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,240 or something like that. Ain't nobody gonna cry today. Hey, we're going to have a good 371 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,240 day. Hey, maybe we should. Oh, we can't, I guess we can't cause we don't have rights 372 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,840 to that music, but maybe we can get right. So we'll see. I'll see if I can look it up 373 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:44,200 and put it, snap a little, little thing in there. Oh my goodness. Um, but yeah, that's 374 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,400 a good song. If you guys, um, if you guys want to listen to it. Well, now that we've 375 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,640 talked about our pet peeves at work, can we just talk about the pros and cons of working 376 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,680 from home? We can. Okay. All right. Do you have a pro? Yeah. Being at home. 377 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:04,640 Not having a commute in the morning, which I mean, when I changed jobs, I didn't have 378 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:11,640 a commute anyways because I was like, my office had moved from where it was originally, um, 379 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:18,080 down to like 1.4 miles from my house. So like it was, it was great, but, um, not having 380 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,680 a commute, being able to eat my meals at home and not have to like go through the meal prep 381 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,760 situation. And bring tuna to work and piss everybody off. Listen, I am not, I am not 382 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:36,440 a tuna girl. So I might break the rules, but at least it's salmon and not tuna. Yeah. But, 383 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:42,120 um, I like being, being at home with my dog, like, and you know, taking her out during 384 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:48,000 the day and like getting some fresh air because sometimes when I work from home, like today, 385 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,400 today was balls to the wall. It was ridiculous. Joleen was not home today. She was at my, 386 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:59,640 my parents, her grandparents house, having some fun. And I, her dog. Yeah. Sorry. Joleen 387 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:05,880 is my dog, not my child, my dog. Um, but I didn't leave the house today until I came 388 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:12,200 over here. Um, I haven't left the house all week. What are you talking about? Have I? 389 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:18,000 Well it's only Tuesday. I still haven't let, I honestly, sometimes I'll be like, I never 390 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,000 drive either. So like, no, you don't. And I'm picking your ass up on Thursday for supper 391 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,840 club. What did Pete say the other day? He said something about, uh, he was like the 392 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:34,520 only only, uh, oh yeah. He was like, the only reason your car ever leaves your carport is 393 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,800 to take your dogs to the vet. And I was like, yeah, that's about right. Like an emergency 394 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:50,240 vet, um, vet trip. Oh my gosh. Um, yeah. So working from, yeah, that and saving on gas. 395 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:55,640 Yes. Yeah. Gas is wonderful. Yeah. Cause I used to like, before I lived here, I was, 396 00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:04,640 I'm not driving and taking 45 minutes to drive to downtown Birmingham to go in five miles. 397 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,280 That's why I used to work so early. I used to get, I worked seven to four because I wanted 398 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,600 to leave my house at six 30 and be there by seven. Yeah. There's a lot of people that 399 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,240 do that. You would think that the traffic would be worse, but it's not. I don't know. 400 00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:21,160 But yeah, so I used to walk to work. I would walk two blocks. I think it was two and a 401 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:26,120 half blocks to work because I got an apartment. I found, I got my job and then I was like, 402 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:31,120 oh, this is where I'm going to be working. Okay. I'm getting an apartment two blocks 403 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:36,880 away. I like that. Yeah. And I never drove then either. Only time I drove was like to 404 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,520 the grocery store, but the honestly, the public's was, was like across the street. Have you 405 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:47,000 forgotten how to drive? No, I can still drive. That's good. Yeah. You know, it's like riding 406 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,880 a bike for the most part, you know, just don't do it when you're drinking for both of those 407 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:57,560 training wheels on your car though. Like it's for real. No, no training wheels, but also 408 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:03,000 you can still crash with training wheels on your, on your tricycle or whatever. But yeah, 409 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:09,280 so pro so yeah, we're doing that. And then like being able to wear like comfortable clothes, 410 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,480 but that also comes with a con because maybe you like think you can eat more than you can. 411 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,520 Oh, a hundred thousand percent. And your stretchy leggings. And then you're like, and then when 412 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,520 it comes, when you get excited about going to like, I don't know, supper club and you 413 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:36,080 want to wear like an outfit and you're like, um, oh shit. Like I got fat. Yeah. That's 414 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,440 when I'm like, you know what? I have nothing to wear because, and then so when my, I do 415 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:47,240 the stitch fix boxes and I swear to God, they only send me like comfortable clothes and 416 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:51,360 I always keep them and that's why they keep sending them to me. And I'm like, I hate you 417 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:57,240 guys, but then, uh, I, I just, I can't anymore. I need to start wearing like regular clothes, 418 00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:00,680 but they're not comfortable. Why would, why would anybody want to wear anything other 419 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:07,840 than leggings ever? Listen, leggings and joggers are what I live in. I hate wearing jeans during 420 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,000 the dress during the summer. I wear dresses. Why does anybody like wearing jeans ever? 421 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,480 I don't know. They're not comfortable. I don't know. I'm, I'm not a jeans girl. Like you're 422 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:26,040 not gonna, you know, catch me out in a pair of jeans and be like, yeah, but no, you're 423 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:31,360 not, you're not going to catch me outside in a pair of jeans and be like, I love these 424 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:42,520 jeans. No, no. I put jeans on the other night and I was like, what? I forgot. Well, that 425 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:48,160 what's worse in my opinion is like dress pants that I used to wear to work with the buttons 426 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:53,400 and like they don't stretch. And I'm like, why did I ever buy these? Like they were real 427 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,040 cute and like the like wide leg, like wide leg, like, you know, and they look cute with 428 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,760 like the heels and I don't freaking wear heels ever anymore. Look, I stopped wearing heels 429 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,760 a long time ago, but like I used to wear them every day and they look so cute. I worked 430 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:15,200 real hard to find pull on business pants and I have found a bunch before when I was working 431 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,520 in an office. Like stretchy ones? Yeah. I was like, don't you pull on your other ones 432 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:24,240 too? No, but like they don't have a button like a zip front. Yeah. They're literally 433 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:29,720 pull on. I have some too, but I feel like the crotch sometimes like looks weird. No, 434 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:34,400 you don't think they do mine? I love. Well, you need to tell me where to get them from. 435 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,040 I got them from Torrid. Yeah. See, I'm not always a big fan of towards clothes, but I 436 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,760 know you love them and they do look good on you. So I don't know. I mean, that's the majority 437 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,760 of what's in my closet is from Torrid. Hundred percent. Yeah. Maybe I'll have to try them. 438 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:51,520 You should. Yeah. Give it a go. But honestly, why would I buy them if I don't need to wear 439 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:59,040 them? But I do have to go to work like in February for three days. Three whole days? 440 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,920 I have to go do these like, or we're doing a bid and I have to go like do these walkthroughs 441 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:09,280 with the vendors to show them the hospital and like the facilities for. Yeah. Yeah. I 442 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,160 don't know if my pants are going to fit. I'll probably wear a dress. Why not? Yeah. Dress 443 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,880 will be better. You got all the black dresses in the world. Yeah, that's true. I have lots 444 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:23,520 of lots of things I can wear. So OK, so what about a con? You got any cons? No, no, I do. 445 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,640 I mean, there are days like today where like I really didn't allow myself to step away 446 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,840 because I didn't really have a reason to, you know, don't. Jolene was not home, so I 447 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:38,840 didn't have a dog to take outside. And I made, you know, I had food essentially cooked already. 448 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,360 So like a meal prep type situation. So like I just heated up food and got back to work 449 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:49,620 and did not take very many breaks. I stood up stood up a couple of times on my desk today 450 00:38:49,620 --> 00:38:57,280 because I had just been sitting for so long. But I would say, you know, not a con is not 451 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,840 having like a start start for real start and stop time. Because when you're at the office, 452 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,760 you know, you're trying to get out of there at whatever time, you know, it is that you 453 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:11,400 leave. But when you're at home, you're working and you may work well beyond your time, work 454 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:16,040 through your lunch, start before, you know, you should because you're awake and you're 455 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,760 at home and it's accessible. See, that's not really different for me. I used to work late 456 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:26,080 at work too. And I would not work. I would work through lunch. That hasn't really changed 457 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,080 much for me. But I get what you're saying. Like there is not like a there's a cutoff 458 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,400 point because and there's not a separation. So like I have this office and like I have 459 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:41,440 my little like Peloton slash Nordic track thing in here and I need to put it somewhere 460 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,400 else. Because when I'm done with work, I want to get out of this room and shut the door 461 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,320 and be like, I am done with work. But then I need to come in here and work out and then 462 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,040 I will see my computer and be like, maybe I should look at the email. Oh, no, I wouldn't. 463 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,280 I mean, I wouldn't be doing that. I get what you're saying though about the separation 464 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:04,240 because my office I was in a one bedroom apartment before now and my office was in office was 465 00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:09,560 in my living room right next to my TV basically like in a corner. And so like I stared at 466 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:14,080 my desk when I would watch TV after work and it was awful. But I think the one thing that 467 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:20,280 I miss that is a con about an office is like the opportunity for water cooler talk in that 468 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:25,160 face time with your your coworkers. Like I do miss that. Like I finally got to meet you 469 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:30,600 know all my coworkers when we had our holiday party in December. But like I don't get to 470 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:36,440 see these people on a regular basis. And so like you said, you know, when you're on calls 471 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,200 and people try to have like conversation that you weren't exactly planning on. I mean, I 472 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,600 think that happens a lot for me because we try to catch up with I do that. Yeah. In the 473 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,040 beginning. Yeah. And you know, just kind of see what's been going on, whatever, because 474 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,320 we don't get that face time in person. And I miss that a little bit for sure. I'm a social 475 00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:01,080 butterfly. Like, yeah, I like to, you know, chit chat. And that was I would rather have 476 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:06,320 like four different times of like random conversations with coworkers at work at work than I would 477 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:11,800 have a lunch hour. Like that fulfills me more. Yeah, I have no problem eating. Well, that's 478 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,360 a pro. That's a con for you. But it's a pro for the company because that means that you're 479 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:20,800 working more than you would be in the office because now you're not chit chatting with 480 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,360 everybody. Like, honestly, and then so like for like, if I wanted to go get coffee or 481 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:32,400 a drink or something at the hospital, I would have to wait. The buildings are miles apart. 482 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,120 Right. And you have to walk through, you know, all the crosswalks and all the things. And 483 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,600 it's just like, you're basically on the other side of the city by the time you get to the 484 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:44,240 Starbucks. Right. So that makes sense. It's something I didn't think about because I've 485 00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:48,000 never really worked at a company that that that's that big. Yeah. So it was like 15 minute 486 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,800 walk right there. Then 15 minutes back. That's 30 minutes just to go get coffee. Yeah, for 487 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,680 sure. I didn't think about that. Yeah. It's not 15 minutes. Probably 20 minutes. That's 488 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,920 a very different way to think about things. So it makes makes a lot of sense. Yeah. But 489 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:03,360 yeah. So that and then they're getting more time out of you by having you at home. Oh, 490 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:08,840 yeah. They're also getting me to pay for my Internet and all my not all my equipment, 491 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:15,600 but like, you know, I had to buy my own desk. I had, you know, had to buy my own everything. 492 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,760 That sucks. I tried to get them to pay for it. And then it was a whole thing. They gave 493 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:25,820 us a stipend and I did buy my desk chair with it. And it's an OK desk chair. Like it's it's 494 00:42:25,820 --> 00:42:31,720 better than what I had before. Well, have you seen mine? You just need to reupholster 495 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:37,540 it again. Eric was my older brother was going to buy me a chair for my birthday. And my 496 00:42:37,540 --> 00:42:43,280 mother's no. No, my mom told him, no, Emily likes her chair because I do. I like that 497 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:48,640 it's not on wheels because I don't like to be because I sit with both of my feet up on 498 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,640 the chair or I put them on that speaker thing down there. Yeah. But yeah, that's yeah. So 499 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:59,880 anyways, but yeah, the pros and cons. Trying to think of another pro for working from home. 500 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:06,260 Yes. I mean, I think, you know, I say I miss water cooler talk, but I also think that there's 501 00:43:06,260 --> 00:43:11,240 a lot less drama. You know, when you were in and I don't know if you've ever had this 502 00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:14,280 experience before, but when you're in an office, people are wondering what you're doing all 503 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:20,340 the time. You know what time she's coming in. Oh, yeah. Why didn't why did she leave 504 00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:24,880 10 minutes early and I didn't get to a hundred because I had a doctor's appointment. Well, 505 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,360 like when we're going to log my schedule and we are grown, we're grown women. Like you 506 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,560 don't need to know what I'm doing all the time. If I get up for my chair, you don't 507 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,800 need to ask me where I'm going. I'm going pee. Leave me alone. Right. Exactly. Like 508 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:44,160 I'm fine. Yeah. So I mean, I think that there's a lack of interpersonal drama, you know, when 509 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,360 you're not in an office setting like that because people aren't in your business all 510 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:55,120 the time. Yeah, that's why I also think that there could be things that could be done to 511 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:02,080 get rid of that. And that has to do, you know, with company culture. Like I don't ever feel 512 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:08,560 like I'm being micromanaged or that I can't like appear away because I've been away from 513 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,440 my computer and somebody is like going to be up my ass about where I am and what I'm 514 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:18,440 doing. And that I'm grateful for because that is not something that I had before. And I 515 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:23,640 mean, it was just all the time, like personal like texting me on my phone. That company 516 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:30,560 did not pay for my phone. Do not text me after hours. Don't do that. I don't have a, you 517 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,320 know, on call type job. Right. Don't do that. That's so funny because people had my old 518 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:40,680 like they used to have when we first started working remote, we didn't have didn't get 519 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,240 cell phones yet. So I gave people my cell phone number, my personal cell phone number, 520 00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:50,200 and people started giving it out like to vendors and things like that. And I would get calls. 521 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:56,240 And so I recently this happened recently and I was like somebody gave my personal cell 522 00:44:56,240 --> 00:45:00,800 phone number out and I sent it back and I was like, Hey, that's my personal cell phone. 523 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,000 Here's my work number. And then the lady that did it, she was, I don't know, we're cool. 524 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,440 But and she didn't mean to. She was like, Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I forgot. Um, I'll 525 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,760 start giving out your work number, but like, yeah, no, don't especially like the worst 526 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:21,800 culprit was my old boss. He would like want to like call cause he lived in Nashville and 527 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,400 he would come down to Birmingham, you know, almost every week for a couple of days. But 528 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,400 then like when he gets on the road or whatever to go home, he wants to like call and talk 529 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:36,200 about work. No, bro. Chacho call your wife, call somebody else. That's weird. Yes. Don't 530 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:41,960 call me to talk about work cause you're bored on your drive home. Yeah, that's odd. That's 531 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:48,480 a very strange thing. It, listen, it was very unhealthy and toxic at the end. And, um, a 532 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:54,240 lot of people left around the same time that I did. Yikes. Yeah. No. Um, maybe, maybe he 533 00:45:54,240 --> 00:46:01,280 started calling them when you were like, I gotta go. Sorry. Supper club tonight. I mean, 534 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:06,680 and I'm one of those people that's like super, I don't know. I can't not answer the phone 535 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,920 sometimes like work or friends or whatever. Like, I don't know. It's just a thing that 536 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,120 I have. Like, I feel like if somebody's calling me as for a reason and I should answer the 537 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:22,440 phone. Right. Yeah. See, I'm not that way. Oh, I know. If somebody calls me and I don't 538 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:27,080 want to answer it, I'm not going to, I mean, I feel bad. I was waiting for you to not answer 539 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:32,560 after I got done with my haircut tonight and then you were not going to get dinner. I don't, 540 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,120 I never don't answer for you unless I'm like downstairs or something. Like in my phone's 541 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,760 upstairs or my phone's on silent, which my phone, look, my phone goes on, do not, it's 542 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,960 already on do not deserve. It's been on time. It goes on at nine. It might be, it might 543 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:51,520 actually be eight 30. My mom already knows. And so she'll call me like four times in a 544 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,840 row and I'm like, Oh my God, I'm asleep. Hello. She actually goes to sleep earlier than I 545 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:02,280 do now. She used to be in a very big night owl. So, but yeah, so yeah, other pros and 546 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:08,680 cons I just like, I really, really like if I need to go to a doctor's appointment or 547 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,080 if I need to go run an errand, I'm not having to get out. So this may be different for other 548 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:18,280 people, but where I worked, you have to like park in a parking lot. That's like, you have 549 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,720 to take a shuttle to, or you have to walk to a parking deck, which I had to walk home 550 00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:27,840 two blocks because I didn't, I didn't opt into like park. Yeah. I just parked at my 551 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:32,560 place. But now if I did work on site, I would have to park somewhere and I would probably 552 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:38,520 have to shuttle and that takes like however long. And so you can't just like five o'clock 553 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:43,080 leave and be on the way home. But like what you started to say was a doctor's appointment. 554 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,160 Like it's a, it's a trek for you. So like, you're not just quickly walking out to your 555 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,960 car and making your way to set appointment. Well, I did work in the hospital where the 556 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,520 doctors were. So like if I did have a doctor's appointment before I could just like, I was 557 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,920 like at work and I didn't have to go like, unless it was somewhere else, but most of 558 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:03,480 my, so most of my stuff was at the same place. So that was nice. But yeah. I mean, I think 559 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:08,440 that there's going to be running an errand. Yeah. I mean, I think that, and I don't, I 560 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,720 don't run errands during the day for the most part. I would say the biggest errand that 561 00:48:11,720 --> 00:48:18,040 I run is either picking up or dropping off Jolene during like my lunch hour at my parents 562 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:24,560 house. And that happens, you know, occasionally, but if I, you know, if I have to do something 563 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,320 after work or whatever, then I do try to take her when I have a break during the day. Yeah. 564 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,400 Usually my stuff is like stuff that has to be done by like six o'clock, like dropping 565 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,880 off a package or something like UPS. You need to stay open until seven o'clock. Yeah. They 566 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:44,640 need to sit because you can't get from work to UPS in an hour because of the traffic. 567 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,640 So you have to go during your lunch break, right? But then it takes your whole lunch 568 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,200 break. So then you don't get to eat lunch. You got to sit at your desk and eat and then 569 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:59,880 everybody's pissed off at you because you ate tuna. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. 570 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:04,400 I do like to be able to be with my dogs. I don't, I don't know. I don't know what I don't 571 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:10,560 like. I, I feel like I still am fulfilled with my, my like relationships with work, 572 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,560 even though, because I also am friends with like some of the people that I work with outside 573 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,240 of work. Yeah, that's true. And I mean, I haven't been, I will have been at my job, 574 00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:24,840 you know, in April for a year or so. I'm still like developing friendships, you know, with 575 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,120 those folks and you know, I don't, I'm only good to see them all the time, but I think 576 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:35,920 that my company is, you know, making progress towards allowing us to have in-person time 577 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,840 a little bit more often instead of, you know, just twice a year. Yeah. So I mean, we'll 578 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:46,520 see how that works out. But I mean, overall, what I trade, first of all, I would never 579 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:51,120 give up this job if I, you know, don't have to. I, I love it. I love the people. I love 580 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:57,240 the culture. I love the company, but working from home, I think it can just be a little 581 00:49:57,240 --> 00:50:04,200 difficult sometimes for me as a social person. And I think nights like this, like, you know, 582 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:08,680 recording, like I needed this outing. I was by myself last night because I took Jolene 583 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:14,040 to my parents' house. Brandon worked late. And so like, I needed some human interaction. 584 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,520 So do you feel like you're like, oh, I need, I want to go hang out with people. Do you 585 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:24,320 feel that? Yeah, I mean, I think it depends on what's like happened. Like I felt like 586 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:30,000 I had been at home for a long time. Like I was at home all weekend. Granted, you know, 587 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,360 we had some outings or whatever, but I mean, we barely left the house on Sunday. It was 588 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,240 raining and you know, we just took Jolene outside. I took, I didn't see my parents yesterday 589 00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:43,480 when I took Jolene out there. Because they weren't home yet. And Victoria came to my 590 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,520 house and you know, we chatted for a little while last night, but I hadn't like left my 591 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:52,720 damn house for real. And I was like, I need to go sit in another environment. But it makes 592 00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:57,280 you feel, but you feel like you're like, I need to, so let me try to get on what I'm 593 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:02,740 trying to say. Like I feel when I'm not, when I'm at home by myself all day and for a while, 594 00:51:02,740 --> 00:51:08,240 I get to the point where I'm like, oh, if I have to go see somebody, it makes me feel 595 00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:13,200 like it's going to be miserable. But I know that I'm an extrovert and I need that interaction. 596 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,080 I just don't want to go do it. It's like going to the gym or something. And I'm like, no, 597 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:21,280 I don't want to be, people are going to make me exhausted. Oh, just thinking about that 598 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:26,640 makes making me exhausted. But like, I know that I need it, but like I don't want it. 599 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:31,120 Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. And I'm the total opposite. When I have been at my 600 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:37,040 house for like a really long time, you know, by myself or whatever, then I'm like craving 601 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:43,000 human interaction for real. See, I don't, I'm like, oh, loving by myself. I need to be 602 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,440 by myself more, but maybe it's because I have a lot of phone calls and things like that 603 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:51,680 for work. Well, and I have a lot of phone calls too, but I wonder if it's because your 604 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:57,240 work days are a little bit more stressful and not as pleasurable. Probably. Yeah, I 605 00:51:57,240 --> 00:52:04,360 have to play that Nappy Root song a little bit longer next time. That's probably true. 606 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:09,360 Yeah. I mean, it is. Sometimes I get, and I'll be like done and I'll be like, I'm just 607 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,360 mentally exhausted from the day because, you know, back to back meetings and then you're 608 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,760 trying to get the stuff done and then you have 400 emails and then you're just like, 609 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:22,280 it's five o'clock and I wanted to take a nap at noon, but I couldn't because like, obviously 610 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:28,600 I'm working, but I get, I don't know, I get mentally exhausted sometimes and really neat, 611 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:33,760 but like I get re-energized when I do go out like a supper club on Thursday, I will probably 612 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,680 be like, let's go potty all night. Like, and then everybody's going to be like, is Emily 613 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:44,960 on cocaine? And I'm going to be like, maybe. Just kidding. I've never done cocaine before. 614 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:50,080 Exactly. Except you're not. You're just getting out of your introvert bubble out into the 615 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,680 world and so you're going kind of balkers. Right. Like it's okay. So your energy's on 616 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:59,600 high. Right. So it's like when I was in the junior league, when I lived in Auburn, we 617 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,040 would have these moms, stay at home moms that were like with little kids all day long and 618 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,080 they didn't do anything. They were with their kids or their kids went to school or whatever 619 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:10,720 all day long and then they would come to their one day a week or once a month junior league 620 00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:15,600 thing and they would be like, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, 621 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:20,960 chatter all night and they loved it. And we were like, we're like, we've been talking 622 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:27,120 all day. We've been talking for the past month all day and we don't want to talk to anybody 623 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:33,280 else. And, but they were like, we, I never get any human interaction or like adult interaction. 624 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,680 And so that's kind of how I feel. I remember when I first moved into this place, my neighbor, 625 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,720 she was out there and I would like, I felt like I was always, she would come outside and I would 626 00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:46,480 be out with the dogs and I was always chatting with her. And I finally told her, I was like, look, 627 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:51,360 if I'm talking a lot, it's because I've been working from home and I've literally had no 628 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:57,360 interaction with a human today and it's really nice. And she was like, it's okay. Me too. And 629 00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:04,720 I'm like, Oh my God, thank God. So anyway, pros, any other pros and cons? I don't think so. Yeah. 630 00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:08,800 Not, not today. Not today. All right. Well, thank you for listening everyone. 631 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:14,720 Thanks for coming over tonight, Sarah and staying a little bit longer. I know you wanted to leave 632 00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:20,880 earlier, but I'm really glad we did this. This is actually very nice. I know I've had a good time. 633 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:28,960 Thank you for having me. All right.
