TheAuldGrump 49654 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hmmm... it is possible that our social excuse is faulty... We used to believe that the reason we had pizza at the game was because everyone else wanted it, so we were just going with the majority.... The game is now being run via computer. We are here, by ourselves. Pizza is still happening. The Auld Grump - strangely, the whole group seems to order their pizzas at around the same time - which does not really work as well as we might hope, since delivery times are very different. Our half hour pizza break (starting when the pizza arrives, not when it is ordered) is now about an hour and a quarter.... 6 hours ago, TGP said: OK, why did this Flumph attack a Porcupine ? He didn't - some jerk snuck it into the petting zoo. The Auld Grump 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brother Jim 2987 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 In the previous thread I mentioned having a salad for breakfast. There were various questions and exclamations of dismay. No, it did not have eggs in it, but it did have bacon and sharp cheddar cheese. I had gotten up late enough that it was more of a brunch than a breakfast. Also, I ate nearly an entire large 4 meat pizza for dinner. 4 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NebulousMissy 31479 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Discorded for two hours now I have a headache. I have boundaries where social interaction becomes headache-inducing. Unfortunately I never learned where those boundaries are. I do not feel it when I pass those boundaries. I do not display any outward indication that I have passed those boundaries. I do not see them waving frantically before or after I barrel through them. I do not notice when I'm far over them. I never learned any of those skills. I'm lucky I learned I have boundaries. As a result I now have the you-elfed-past-your-boundaries headache. When I get back to work I'm going to have to be social for 8 hours at a time every day. How do normal people do this? 2 1 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowRaven 56071 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Having never been normal, I have no idea how people socialize for any period of time. That said, I am still planning to visit a house full of people. If travel is allowed anyway. 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marvin 41482 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Ain't much of anybody "normal," and we all got our ways of coping. I can't actually recommend the alcohol tbh. More trouble than it's worth just for getting by. Same with food, nicotine, harder drugs, and various sexual activities. I hear knitting is a pretty wholesome mechanism tho. 6 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me 2 hours on a discord session is like two hours in any other meeting; boring but it doesn't bother me. Some people are just not bothered by screens and headphones. I am running about 5 to 6 hours a day in video and audio conferencing and it's been like that for the last 3 weeks. Most frustrating part is I can't get work done because everyone wants to talk....
