  • I may or may not be back

    Decided to stick my head in and see what things look like. It's been a while, I guess. Life has been... "interesting".

    Last time I was here, I had a girlfriend, and I was driving a cab.

    Since then, we got married -- yes, there is now a Mrs. Deserted; our 1st anniversary was a few weeks ago -- and I finally -- FINALLY -- quit driving the cab.

    And drove for Uber & Lyft instead.

    But with the modern nuttiness going on, Mrs. Deserted & I decided that I needed to stop driving people. I now drive for food & package delivery services on occasion -- at first, it was full-time, but Mrs. Deserted has been working from home for a few months now, so I've had no need to drive all over hell's half acre. (This past weekend was my first shift in over a month.)

    This has given me time to work on my computer projects. I'm -> <- that close to releasing a game to the Apple & Google stores that stands a chance of making me a little money. (We're talking beer money, not rent money. Small potatoes. Probably.)

    As for CS, I'm not sure if I'll be hanging out or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Life's funny that way.

      Welcome back! It's good to see another familiar name around again. The busiest thread seems to be the Coronavirus one, if you want to see how folks are getting on.
      "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

        Thanks for that. Fortunately, the worst thing that happens with food delivery is slow fast food restaurants and customers who don't tip. If that's all I have to worry about, I think I'm doing good.

        I'll be honest, I hear so much about corona that I really don't care to hear about it here.


        I might do some posts in Unsupportable, if I can put things into words adequately.

          Well, then we may or may not be happy to see you again!
          “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
          One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
          The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

            Welcome back, and

            I'm not in retail anymore either, but I still stop in from time to time.
            I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

              I read daily (seldom post, though, except horrible shopper letters,) as I haven't worked retail in about eight years.
              Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.
