So I got a call from HQ today asking me to leave next Saturday for two weeks to train a store but didn’t say where. It’d be either Oklahoma City or San Antonio.
I was torn because I’ve never really travelled and SA would be totally cool to see, but if I were to, I’d be putting myself at risk, and possibly one having one day off a week, if that. And since I’d be flying back on a Saturday and have to work Sunday, I’d be working a 10 day stint in a row at some point anyways.

The guy who called was my team lead last year and is in charge of the whole training deployment and I’m one of the top ones he wants to send out. But my store is down 21 people and I don’t want to put them or myself at risk, or deal with the animosity I’d have heading out. I wouldn’t blame my coworkers from being wary of me after all that. Not to mention I’d also be teleworking my store and doing my work there too because we don’t have enough people to cover it.

And if I were to go, who knows what the store is like walking into it and how many have it or have had covid or how cautious they’re being. And I don’t want to travel that far to work probably 9 to 12 hours a day and pretty much be stuck in a hotel otherwise.

So I declined and by doing it, I will now have to travel for one week in November to New Mexico, and possibly a week in California in December. So I need covid to get its act together because before this, I was scheduled on the team for Pearl Harbor, which is our top 1 or 2 (depending on the week) store globally. And I very much want a all paid work trip there

Were they paying you more for doing this?

My major revelation of 2020: The Russians made a musical out of Dragonlance.

How's it compare with Russian Hobbit?:



Or Russian MST3K?:



Or Russian It's Always Sunny? :

To be fair, the Russian Dragonlance musical is better than the Canadian Lord Of The Rings musical.

What is the main point of comparison?

@Pink Ranger,

The Wheelblaze dailies look great:



Also that joke about custom roller skates for horses?

Okay, I need your help with something. I do doll/action figure customizing on the side (only the 5th creepiest thing about me) and I just got a box of random doll heads in the mail. This one I swear is supposed to look like someone famous, but I can't place it. Does this ring a bell with anyone here? PS: the hair is blonder than it appears in the photo.

Is that supposed to be like a Bree Larson head for a Capt. Marvel figure?

Maybe, but I don't think so. This really, really looks like some celebrity to me, but I just can't connect the face to the name.

Music, acting, staging, storyline ... basically the Canadian Lord of the Rings was a well-intentioned abortion of a production. You could make a better musical out of Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

I’m only down for this if Tommy Wiseau reprises his iconic role and does all his own singing.
