Nothing fun today, vet and grocery shopping. Gotta figure out a few fun things to do over the weekend. How about you, working today?
Yup, but I am bringing snacks this time so I don't have to eat a cold burger crouched behind the counter like a criminal.

Is there still fun stuff to do? It looks like outdoors is kind of bad up there.

Watched a little bit of soccer. You're probably more into the winter Olympics right?

Wildfires are threatening Olympia. :( And it looks like it's arson, seven fires started in a matter of hours.

I like them all. But yeah, winter gets me glued to the TV. Especially if they're locals.

Arson! Hope they find out who and punish to the fullest.

:( That's lame, you should have an area to eat your lunch. What type of retail do you work in?

Air quality here is back to normal as long as the winds keep coming from the south. I was thinking of hitting up the water park on Sunday as long as it's sunny.

I manage a hobby store with 4 employees. So I work in all areas constantly, with no breaks when the owner is away. It's a lot but I also get to run it how I like most days.

Water park sounds awesome. Do you do the big slides, or are you a lazy river all day kinda person?

So many fires going on around Athens right now, I doubt they'll catch anyone.

I think I prefer winter too. I'll watch bobsled, the little one man toboggan that they ride laying down and ski jumping.

That's cool, so you're dealing with customers that are excited about their purchases, I think that's key to working retail. Working in a jewelry store probably wouldn't be bad either. I worked very briefly doing online support for a cosmetics company and hated it. When people are behind their keyboards they turn into complete assholes.

I like the high adrenalin slides. They also have some cliffs you can jump or dive off of. They don't look very high when you're standing on the ground, but as soon as you're on the ledge it looks seriously high.

I wonder if weed has made me more or less of a coward. I never would have done those things a few years ago, but I like the look of that cliff area. Epic!
You ever like flipped out of a tube and lost your elbow skin?

I hate the customers above 12, almost entirely. It's the kids and the true nerds I like.

Not at Wonderland. When I was younger three of us went down a water slide together. I was squished off to the side and hit my face on something as we went by, still don't know what it was, I didn't see it probably a support bar. Fractured orbital bone, concussion and several stitches later I learned a valuable life lesson about safety lol.

Do you do table top game sessions with the kids?

Damn, that sounds horrifying. Did you stay awake for it, or did you wake up at the bottom of the slide confused as hell? And you still go on them?

I do, I run little classes to teach parents to dm for their kids, and I get hired out to teach magic the gathering too. I do bday parties sometimes

I remember starting the slide and that's about it until later in the hospital. I'm kinda glad I don't remember it lol. I went back that summer, it was totally my fault and wouldn't have happened if I followed the rules.

That's pretty cool, table top games have really taken off the past few years. Do you ever watch TableTop on Geek & Sundry with Wil Wheaton?

I was an original adopter. I have all the goofy stuff for supporting their second season! I am the lamest little dweeb if you get me talking about ttrpgs. Lemme know if you ever wanna play!

I would have never set foot in a water park if that happened. I almost drowned when I was 2, and I still look at water sideways, even while swimming g in it. You're braver than I
