Now this is getting serious: Long time politician and second rate Ron Weasley impersonator Boris Johnson has come down with the virus and is now in ICU (or whatever they call ICU in the UK). I guess that "I shook hands with everybody" thing didn't work out too well. And his falling sick really hits home that this thing is out to get every fat guy with bad hair, much like myself.
Did you know that your employer can now ask if you've experienced any symptoms of Coronavirus, and that they can take your temperature? I remember having an employer. And polar bears. Remember polar bears?
No I am not having trouble concentrating or relaxing. Why do you ask?
A couple of days ago my wife and I went toilet paper scouting, and while we were out my wife wanted some coffee. She is quite the Starbucks addict, something I will never understand. But I figure there probability isn't a better way to come down with a deadly virus, so I head to the nearest location. Closed. So I head to the next nearest location. Closed. The third nearest location was inside a shopping mall, so that wasn't happening. Still haven't figured out what is going on. My wife has ordered from these locations several times during this event, so I'm thinking "Great they've closed these locations 'cause of the covid and now we all have it 'cause my wife can't go without a double iced latte for more than a week. Is this because they are requiring employees to wear face-masks and for some reason our local Starbucks can't get them, or am I just doomed?
Did you ever notice that Peter O'Toole had a double phallic name?
No I am not having trouble concentrating or relaxing. Why do you ask?
Anyway, in order to keep some sort of sanity for the time being (or at least until we have to worry about who's running Bartertown), I've turned to watching a mysterious unseen person purchase food and drinks (hot and cold) from vending machines. I know Japan has this whole "vending machine culture" thing (and no I am not a Japanophile), but this transcends this in the same way watching someone rebuild a 4 cylinder engine transcends the Ford Escort. It is quite relaxing.
There is more, and not just of Japan. They have a whole food channel and it has all sorts of disembodied hands buying all sorts of food from all sorts of automated vending systems. I recommend you check them out.
