relax

It's that time with those people when we kick back and enjoy the company of being on the beach. We can't do that without her and I try to say it and I don't know if I mess up but we're not going to do it without her.


Today I am grateful for an opportunity and a plan and a week.

I got some beach skills, if needed. Cooler toting/dragging, sun screen/aloe applicator, de-sand specialist and beer can pickerupper. I would love to get a glimpse of the mermaid also.

We do take applications, but the interview process is fairly lengthy and rigorous.

I probably wouldn't make the cut, sounds like my dream job though.

Shea Goff said...

Yes, confidence counts for so much.

Humor is a must.

-1 for lack of confidence.
-1 for assuming anything.
Nothing taken or given for guessing.
But humor, a smart sense of humor is a must.
You will be judged by your music.
What would you put on the playlist?

Nice. +12 for music selection.

Damn, talk about a confidence builder. Thank you for the generous score and the smile on my face.

Shea Goff said...

+53 for gratitude +42 for a smile.
105 now. Am I right?

Had to add and subtract, took me a minute, looks like you are correct. Most I've scored in a long time.

Shea Goff said...

+176 for math abilities.
I can't tell you the last time I had anyone attempt to score so much. Impressive.

Nudder smile, actually a chuckle with excitement. I been attempting a long time.

Shea Goff said...

Okay then.
I sit next to you on a couch.
Pulled in close, as curled up as I can get at my age.
I hand you this: https://www.brainpickings.org/2019/11/17/wendell-berry-hidden-wound/
Do you put on your glasses to read it?
Do you read it?
What do you say or do or has anyone ever told you that they felt safe with you?

I did, how many points I get? I'm so messed up the whole time reading it with the image of you curled up next to me that I can't process it all. You are definitely safe with me, I think. I'm not rich by no means and have learned to live with less the last few years and appreciate what I have more. Like being able to stay dry in a rain, getting dry after getting wet, getting warm after getting cold and being able to get cool after getting hot. So, in a sense I am rich. Especially grateful for the ability to love and have no control over who or what I love.

+500 points, +263 bonus points
Did you get your hands on an answer booklet? I didn't even know it existed.
Off to work. Thank you. I hope you have a lovely day.

Writing it as I go, hopefully someone will find it in a time capsule in the future. Hopefully they can earn points, even though it would be cheating. Thank you for wishing my day to be lovely.

If you are artificial intelligence and I ask you, "Are you artificial intelligence?" do you have to tell me the truth?

Coffee?
Smoked then split and fried deer sausage in a bakery roll which has itself been fried in butter and then topped with a slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese?
A1 steak sauce in the morning?

Anonymous said...

I'm the real deal, never considered myself intelligent even though one or two have told me I am. I do love coffee, deer meat, bread and cheese. Oh, A1 and someone to share it with.

Shea Goff said...

It's okay if you don't but do you have some music this morning. You know, to get the day started.

Thank you for the music. Came to a conclusion in the middle of night, could change tonight but it was about something that has been worrying me. Maybe it was about revolution and how hard I have been trying to take myself out of something and let others have it and how I couldn't and how that must mean something is wrong with me 'cause I should be able to do that, right? Let others handle it, run it, lead it. I suck at executing strategy.

But then I talked with a really smart young man yesterday morning.

Last night I woke up settled with the understanding that they'll let me know when it's time.
Until then I have to show up and help anyway I can.
Is your work your life?

Seems to be, I was up at 4 this morning checking emails and planning work. On my day off, so yep, my life.

Anonymous said...

Hey, you eat all that sausage?

Shea Goff said...

Yep. Finished it off last night for dinner. Oatmeal, coffee, some fruit I'm about to throw away. Wednesday before the beach when you're trying to leave it relatively empty. But you're hungry.

Made it to my morning watering hole, about to get my eggs on.

Shea Goff said...

Eggs, oatmeal, coffee, and https://youtu.be/8ui9umU0C2g
Wednesdays are better with you.

One of my favorite bands, I wish I could make every day better. You sure make mine.

Shea Goff said...

I know. You do. Good.
I'll try not to ask for too much.

Enjoy the "Salt Life", get us some good pictures with that new camera. https://youtu.be/9n5G0qFBsHM

Shea Goff said...

I'll do that. Thank you.

So, I got all's these points. What I do with em? https://youtu.be/H9DmLW-hkMs

Shea Goff said...

I guess you're just going to use them to put a grin on my face, and, in my opinion, that is a perfectly good use of points.

Anonymous said...

Sounds good, was kinda hoping I could cash em in at Buck-ee's though.

Shea Goff said...

Dang. There go the points.

Nowadays beef jerky is pretty tempting and satisfying.

Hm.
