Xbox Controller Chocolate Version

One of the item in team’s holiday gift basket – Yes it is 1:1 or real size… lit?!

I am still wondering how I can eat this up – and actually looks very rich and delicious so simply keeping this seems to be a silly way – I saw some folks’ case of cutting off, melting – maybe I need a hammer to break into pieces.. πŸ™‚

Also, now, part of me is saying I should be thankful that this is not a console size chocolate… Maybe part of this item’s intention is making people to be thankful πŸ™‚

Shortage & Pandemic

Stumbled into this message at office (I make 1-2 hours visit to office on Thursdays to make sure I have stable connection..) upon trying to pick my favorite Ginger Ale from office fridge…. Another shortage thanks to Pandemic, Wipes, Hand Sanitizer, Masks, Toilet Tissues, Woods, and now Aluminum Cans?

Aluminum can shortage: Beer, soda companies can’t keep up with demand (usatoday.com)

Few years ago, WFH meant “I can not come to the meeting – and maybe or may not be even reachable”, while that is now “I am reachable and work 24 hours” πŸ™‚ Thought Door Dash, Grubhub, Instacart kind of business’ going away is a matter of time, but they are flourishing.. Amazon slashed restaurant delivery and their PrimeNow was not in a good shape but now it is essential part of Amazon’s business..

Now Home Depot & Lowe’s are running high and price of wood has rocketed up..

Pandemic is so epic!!

Crazy amount of workload in recent days are breaking my personal records of work hours I set during the old days of consulting in Seoul. Those days, Beer at office desk, was a great energy boosting companion or at least a small escape from the treadmill.

As the record high working hours continues day by day, naturally, that habitual ‘escape’ has also come back. πŸ™‚ Beer is perfect for my Friday midnight oil burning – plus, a great energy/hope booster that I can enjoy the sweetest Saturday morning sleep & be unplugged for work on Saturday at least… πŸ™‚
