They did this at the studio I am contracted with via Zoom.
Our secretary told them we were flying kites in honor of Erf Day..while working with his vintage Corvette, revving it up multiple times in the background. We didnt want to talk with these assholes.
When this lockdown nonsense started someone tried to schedule water cooler meetings. Apparently no one attended cause the idea quickly disappeared. I’ve worked from home for years and barely know my coworkers. I was face to face with my boss yesterday for the second time in over a year.
re: “How was Earth Day for the rest of you who had to work today? “
I replaced a PC power supply in a Dell Optiplex, and then watched a couple DVD movies testing out and used a 4 ft wide LCD TV screen to do so - it was glorious!!
I work in an industrial chemical manufacturing plant so insipid virtue signalers learn to be quiet early in their career. And there are enough sarcastic a-holes (like me) that stuff like Earth Day confessions rarely happen
I like to grill big, fat grass-fed ribeye steaks for my family on Erf Day. I celebrated a couple of days early because I keep confusing it with 4/20, the pot-smoker’s holiday. There’s a lot of overlap between the population sectors that celebrate those two things, so I keep mixing up the dates.
Well, we’re retired, but I think our lawn maintenance guys are on board, lol. They come on Thursdays and yesterday they had TWO guys using evil gasoline-powered trimmers and blowers. Normally they only use one guy.
Two Items: I have a sign in my cubicle ‘Large Carbon Footprint Makes For Happy Trees.’ Drives the libs crazy, and once in a blue moon I get to educate them on the Carbon Cycle, how CO2 really is Plant Food.
Re: hairspray cans. When our mom was done with the hairspray can, we would rake up all the back yard leaves into a huuuge pile. My dad made sure me and my 6 brothers and sisters were inside the house. He would make a big fire and throw the empty spray can into the fire. Heck of a bang! Way fun!
