Maybe you change your mind, but too many times, over and over again, over and over again,

Hello and welcome to Still Buffering, a cross-generational guide to the culture that made us. I am Riley Smirl. I'm Cindy McRoy. And I'm Taylor Smirl.

It's been real busy lately, everybody. Yeah, I know. Yeah, man. Life's been wild. I don't know. I just thought I would throw that out there. Yeah.

Yeah. Into the school year, we were doing SpongeBob, the musical over here. That's taking up a ton of time. It's going to be fantastic. I think everybody should make a trip to Huntington, West Virginia this summer.

Last three weekends in June, come to the Ritterpark Amphitheater. Check out our great show. I don't make any money off of it. I don't know if I've been let me clarify. I don't get paid for any of it. It's all volunteer. I just, I do it for the love of the game.

The theater game. That's a thing theater people say. It's not. Maybe. Maybe it is. I mean, I work at an office job full time now, so there's that too. It's been a busy time over here.

Yeah, we had a weird moment where I, we get Riley and I get our hair done by the same person and Riley went in and couldn't do. I used to get rose gold, like a pink put in my hair. Yeah.

And I can't do that now. It couldn't do it. Yes, because she is a professional and has to look professional and so can't have like, I don't know, what is your role? Like not a naturally occurring hair collar.

Yeah, I think that if I was in the office all the time, it wouldn't be that big of a deal because my boss is pretty cool, but I think it's the going in a courtroom kind of thing, especially a courtroom in West Virginia.

Not a naturally occurring hair is kind of the thing. I'm also already working with like multiple visible tattoos. So I'm trying to limit the amount of looks I get from people.

Now I on the other hand was able to go in and I was just going to do like my normal, my normal little cut, like my banks were getting long.

And sometimes I get some highlights, you know, for the summer. And then she talked me into pink.

Well, you do not have to have a doctor. You don't have to look professional.

That's what she said. She said, are you allowed to do this with your job? And I was like, yeah, there.

Honestly, hospitals are so understaff these days. I don't I mean, there's no way they're not going to fire me over pink hair. No way.

I don't want to work there if they would. How do you like that? Eat that.

Well, if you want a career where you can really have as as weird a hair and piercings as tattoos as you could ever dream of, you could always work in food service.

The downside, of course, is you're working in food service.

Well, I don't have that. But see, that's a skill set though. Don't, you know, don't separate yourself. That's what you have. And I do not have.

Well, I like what I do. It is just, you know, it's very not not well paid, difficult labor that people assume you must not be intelligent to be doing with your life, which is incredibly wrong.

But, you know, it's part part of the gig.
