Considering these forums not long enough.

My normal point of contact for forum stuff is out of the “office”, but that just gives me an excuse to meet new people :smiley:

It got down to below freezing last night. Our sunroom smells like the cool room at my old work.

Well of course they are silly. You guys are on isolation and working from home. I would be concerned if they were in the office

I’m liking this post for the below freezing, not the funky smell. :smiley:

It’s 90 here, at 8:00pm. Tomorrow is going to be worse. The sunrise this morning was one of those red balls just hanging in the sky, which always makes me think of hot, miserable days.

Off to watch Hobbs and Shaw on HBOMax. Been going down a Ballers rabbit hole, as I forgot half of season 3. Not anymore baby, haha

New mutants out on thursday sorely tempted.

Indeed! New Gnomes is always an appetizing idea!

It’s not a funky smell, it’s just… cold. I dunno, if you’ve never worked somewhere with a freezer/cool room you’ve been stuck in for large chunks of time doing delivery/rotation then I’m not sure how to describe it for you.

Sort of a subtle overtone of galvanized steel and lard? Not a good description I know, it’s less offensive than that sounds and perhaps not the same as where I worked, but the best I could come up with to describe it on short notice. Mastadôn must be familiar with working in walk in food storage coolers, perhaps he can do better.

Cold steel?

I think that’s definitely part of it.

Man. Child is having an epic meltdown because he lost his hand sanitizer bottle.

And forbid, I told him to put his shoes on. Now he is crying complaining he is having a bad day.

Oh, I definitely know the smell. I just call it “funky” for lack of a better term. The cardboard, food, cold, mashed all together.

That poor, sweet, summer child. :laughing: Just wait, kid, just wait.

And… Ooooo… I got replacement filters for my pour over coffee maker. I ended up having to order from the company, since nobody has them in-stock. But a finer cup of coffee has never been savored.

Weeks of no responses are demoralizing.

Oh thats frustrating finaly got the heritage of the lightforged quest says nothing on how to get to the vindacar so i assume i have to unlock it. Now that i have to go out i wowhead it and find out oh there a teleporter outside the embasy SMH.

Oh yes, cardboard is also another subtle element in the mix.

Having worked both in a kosher slaughterhouse, and in an institutional kitchen, I have to admit to some degree of difference in the ambiance of cold rooms, but still there is an overall sameness that you can’t miss.
