The pier fire is out and the air is no longer toxic with creosote fumes. I can actually go for a walk again.

Several years ago, I watched the Redondo Beach Pier burn.

It was a Friday.

I was in sales.

I was at the beach instead of working.

I loved that job.

I work in sales but alas I've been stuck in the office all throughout this Covid crap. Our rep on the road has that life though. He calls me from far nicer/more scenic locals. Can't help but be jealous sometimes XD. But then I remember I'm moving into purchasing and I don't have to deal with customers anymore.

My favorite story was that I had a counterpart taking some time off (although he was still 'on-the-clock' with the expectation that he would be out in the field making sales calls.)

He's in L.A. and it's only 2PM in the afternoon.

He's in a sports bar for a late lunch and thinks "It's Friday, I'll have a beer!"

His boss, on the other hand, is in NYC on business and has just checked into his hotel room.

It's L.A. It's the playoffs. ESPN has a camera crew there at the sport's bar.

My counterpart is drinking a beer.

... which happens to be broadcast.... to the hotel room (where it's 5PM), where the boss has tuned into ESPN.

i got real life hug today from friend and we literally teared up bc *kitten* social distancing i miss my friends so much

my bestie still won't hug me. she won't even hug her son who lives another part of the city. but we do the happy dance around each other. i'd have teared up if we'd have hugged because she's like my sister... .

I'd give you a hug! I sure would.


And out of supreme respect, I wouldn't even request a reach-around.





Unless, you know.... well, unless you insisted.
