Goodbye Zen, Hello Reality

I have to say it has been a pretty productive weekend. I finally gained access to the new email server, and I added a few new website features to the main Slacker Site. I’ve also made a few tweaks here, such as removing the text over the banner… on mobile it looked weird, and overall it looked too repetitive. Instead enjoy my unobstructed misadventures.

I’ve packed a helping of breakfast rice (sounds weird but who cares) for tomorrow along with some herbal tea. After three days of being antisocial I can return to listening to asshats yell at us for having to wear masks, make fun of us for wearing them, and the increase of racial dialogue. Ever since COVID broke out I’ve been having to listen to my not as pale co-workers get yelled at by customers for their country mass producing this virus… even though not a fucking one of them is of Chinese descent. Then there’s also one of my co-workers pointing at a crying child and in a sarcastic tone telling me “he’s probably sick with the covid…” all because the kid was Chinese looking enough to merit a poor attempt at humor. If anything the poor kid was showing as much enthusiasm for being there as I mentally was.

Another thing I’ve had to think about lately is my daily attire. We can pretty much wear anything to work, and from time to time I like to wear some of my Oriental or Asian wear to work among the gaming T-Shirts and other stuff I have at my disposal, and with the amount of toxicity going on lately I’ve had to mentally walk down the alleyway of worst case scenarios for the days I decide to wear them. Never thought I would live in a day and age where I’d have to ponder these thoughts… then again I never thought toilet paper would be the first thing to go during an apocalypse.
