That's where I'm at today.

When I walked into the office, they were playing Plinko in one of the rooms.

And Shannon, I was a little jealous of that. Good morning. How are you? Yeah, playing Plinco, huh? Glad to see something productive being done. Well, I think the sales force, like, they do it as like a reward. Oh, okay. You know, you book a big client or a remote, and you can play a little Plinko and you got some like prizes at the bottom. That's be nice we could play that i know i mean where's my opportunity exactly 25 dollar gift card or something like that i was just so disappointed how tiny those boards were remember we were talking about yeah we were talking about we thought it was like a life-sized plinko i'm like i don't know i guess i'd have to put it in my It's so big. And then you get it and it's like a foot tall. Yeah. The size of like a computer. What a rip-off. A miniature version of Plinko. It's good marketing, though. I mean, if you take a camera, a picture of it at just the right angle, it can be a little deceiving, no doubt. Speaking of coworkers, it's odd that you spend more time with your coworkers a lot of times more so than your family. I mean, I was thinking about it this morning. I mean, I talk to you, Shannon, more regularly than any family member that I have. That's true. Yeah, it is true. I mean, think about it. You and I do it one hour hour a day so we're talking to each other for five

hours a week do you talk to your mom five hours five hours a week or anybody else in your family for

that long well i mean like no no maybe i should you know maybe i should go see mom and dad a little bit

more uh but i'm not like talking to them for one hour a day like me and you do. I'm not, I don't see them as much as I see some of the people in the office. I mean, I'm seeing you every Friday, Shannon, or at least every day on this computer screen. I see people in the office every day. It's similar when you go to class, right? You see your classmates and your teacher more often than you do your family a lot of times. And that's just, I don't know if I have any point about it,

Channing, it's just odd, right? Just work culture. I mean, you got to go to work, and it's just kind of the way it is a lot of times, especially if you don't live with somebody, then you're not going to see them on a regular basis.

But you've got to go to work every day, and there's those

co-workers, whether you like them or not.

You've got to interact with them.

That's right.

You know. to see them on a regular basis. But you've got to go to work every day, and there's those coworkers, whether you like them or not,

you got to interact with them. That's right. You know, yeah, it's a good point. Because you think about life, what's the point of life? It's spending time with people you love and care about, I would think, right? Right. Don't spend it all this time with you. With me, exactly. And Brandon over in sales and, you know, like all these people.

As I said, people you love and care about.
