We just had Friday the 13th in December ─ for which I edited Pikachu to be wearing a Santa hat.
Seems awful soon to have another 13th. How often does this day come around, thought I.
The internet tells me that, on average, there’s a Friday the 13th once every 212.35 days, at least once every year, but can occur up to three times in the same year—"for example, in 2015, Friday the 13th occurred in February, March, and November. 2017 through 2020 will all have two Friday the 13ths, and the years 2021 and 2022 will have just one occurrence each”.
That being so, you can expect to see Pikachu again this year, edited to reflect what’s going on in the world at that time.
I forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that, when the specialist walked into the examination room, she introduced herself, held out her hand and I, like a fool, responded and shook it.
Immediately remembering I said, “We aren’t supposed to do that now”.
“You’re right” she mumbled. “We’ll both wash our hands” she said as she headed to the sink and began washing her hands, while I reached into my bag and sanitized my hands with one of the handy wipes I always carry. LOL.
I remember once, when I was working, had a problem with my computer and I.T. showed up eating a candy bar, licking his fingers, touching the computer keys.
It was disgusting. I was in shock, while he appeared oblivious to being a pig.
I didn’t want to touch his DNA so, when he finished his work, I pulled out wipes and began sanitizing the keyboard.
I.T. Guy was HIGHLY offended, and said so as I continued to silently sanitize until he stormed away.
Times have certainly changed. Now I get praised for whipping out wipes.
I carry wipes in my bag of tricks to school. Because I use a lot of puppets and stuffed animals, I require the kids to wipe down their hands before they can be my assistant and use the toys. They are quite happy to do so. Yesterday, one little girl opened her backpack to show me HER stash of wipes. Her mother had sent them with her. I complimented her smart mom.
ReplyDeleteNice. Is your school to remain open?
DeleteYou're right. The IT guy was a pig. You should have told him to go f*** himself.
ReplyDeleteI have a certain family member who laughed at my getting more wipes in February. Now they have a trip coming up in April and don't have any cleaning supplies. Tsk! I shall have to share my supplies, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThere's an old saying that goes something like ... she who laughs last laughs best.
