00:00So what happened to Reynaldo?
00:03Reynaldo said he was going to buy a new computer one week, and then the next week he simply wasn't there.
00:11So perhaps he did, but the meetings didn't transfer to his new one?
00:15It shouldn't work that way, but maybe it did.
00:20Hmm, a little fuzzy in all things Reynaldo. How long ago was that?
00:26That was a little over two years ago.
00:30All I remember about him is his dog. His dog would show up sometimes and just run around and cause a little bit of chaos.
00:38But, what I was going to say was, Reynaldo, oh, I wish he was still part of the group because, you know, she was just...
00:48And her mom would show up every now and then, remember?
00:51She was a kind little lady that would sit there and not say anything, but that's fine. You know what I'm saying?
01:00Ah, yes, I agree. Wenjun's mother was at a total of... four meetings.
01:10So I seem to remember Wenjun had to move for something.
01:14Hmm, yes, moving and getting a new job that conflicted with the meeting times.
01:20And then, we were down to five.
01:24Or four and a half. I don't know if we can count Emma. She's hardly ever here.
01:32At least she comes back. So many of us just simply stop showing up.
01:37Speaking of which, where is Shari?
01:41She's been the first of the meeting in quite a long time.
01:46Ah, she'll show up, she always does. So Brittany, did you ever hear back from the instructor on those videos that you sent over to him?
01:53Oh, no, not a word. I'm sure he's real busy. I mean, a worldwide stress management guru like him is always in demand, right?
02:03Yeah, but remember, his company folded or disappeared. The mental positive company. They're gone. He was the president of it and it just went away.
02:13I'm sure COVID was tough on them, just like every other.
02:18Yeah, but it took you, what, three years to track him down again. It's like he didn't want to be found.
02:25He's hiding because he's waiting for one of us, all of us, to complete our eight year journey.
02:34Yes.
02:35You really think this is a reality show, like Big Brother or Survivor or something?
02:47I, for one, hope so, because I think that would be the ultimate game. The one that you entered, but you didn't know you entered.
02:56And yet you have entered it. You're in it. But you don't know you're in it.
03:00But if this is true, how would they keep track of everything?
03:07The same way you do. You take notes, you log who's here and who isn't, right?
03:12Well, sure, but are they here now? If they are, they're quite hidden.
03:20Oh, uh, Sherry's here? Sorta?
03:32The game show idea of these meetings is the most interesting, but I still think it's probably just data gathering by big business.
03:39But that's boring if it's true. I just think this is all a happy accident.
03:48Speaking of happy or, um, not so happy, uh, Sherry looks not so great. I mean, grumpy even.
03:58She's always grumpy. This is just the soundless version of her, so you notice different things.
04:03Hey Sherry, can you hear us?
04:09I take that as a no.
04:14Uh, let me just send her a quick email.
04:19I really wish the chat feature still were. I wonder why it doesn't now. It worked when there was a hundred people.
04:25I bet instructor Charles turned it off that one time where he was popped on.
04:30You know, where he said,
04:32We can all go home, get out of here, kind of thing.
04:35Like he said,
04:36I'm supposed to be eight meetings, not four under eighteen. It's a mistake, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
04:41That's probably when chat went goodbye.
04:44Possibly. That whole meeting was weird. What was that, number nine?
04:48No, that was meeting ten.
04:51Also, Shari hasn't replied yet.
04:54She seems too busy trying to make her computer work.
05:01Okay, I'm just gonna throw this out here. I mean, maybe, possibly, instructor Charles was perhaps a fraud.
05:13No way. He was the biggest name in stress management at the time.
05:19Plus, this was a free eight week course. What sort of money is he making off of that?
05:24They're just ineffective. You're just a snake oil type of dude.
05:28Snake oil? What does that even mean?
05:32Look, he was being hired by all sorts of people to give talks and seminars.
05:36A few years prior, he gave a talk at the bank I used to work at.
05:41You just prefer substitute chairman. That's all this is about.
05:45Yes, but no. She had more energy and whatnot.
05:50Remember, this is earlier in the day for me because
05:53trying to listen to instructor Charles monotone his way through 60 minutes was like
06:00a little difficult.
06:03Finally!
06:04What happened?
06:07Her computer seemed like it didn't want to work, right?
06:10The computer was just the icing off the cake of a terrible, terrible day.
06:16So, what happened?
06:19Well, first, I was fired. I no longer work at the coffee shop.
06:25Secondly, I got on the wrong bus that took me miles and miles and miles away from my home.
06:31And thirdly, the computer has just picked the absolute worst day to act up.
06:38Don't worry or panic, Shari.
06:41Remember what instructor Charles always used to say.
06:45Etc.
06:46Embrace the change.
06:50More like embrace the crap.
06:53Oh, sounds like we need to break out the Shari emergency kit.
06:56Oh, that is so cute.
07:07Or this.
07:11That is so sweet.
07:12And also, this.
07:13So sweet.
07:14Although, Rob, do not break out that stupid rabbit video.
07:23That would just be the worst timing.
07:26Although, it wouldn't be surprising considering how badly this day is going.
07:32Nah, I promise. Not today at least.
07:36Shari, I thought they loved you at the coffee shop. Weren't you employee of the month? Like, just recently?
07:43Yes! Thank you!
07:46Although, apparently, I've gone across some imaginary line and made one of our really stupid, stupid customers angry.
07:54Now, all of that's just got thrown out the window.
07:58Awards have worked. Most of you, sirs.
08:01I should show you guys the ridiculous award that I won recently.
08:04It's, erm...
08:06Did you say something that made the customer angry?
08:10I guess so.
08:12He came in demanding a pumpkin spiced latte.
08:15So I reminded him that it was not October, so therefore, we did not have the pumpkin spiced latte.
08:22But he kept saying he wanted one, and I kept reminding him that it is not October, so it is not the latte of the month.
08:31Once they're gone, they're gone!
08:34Well, that doesn't sound too terrible.
08:38Probably not enough to get you fired.
08:41It doesn't end there.
08:42He then insisted that he'd got the pumpkin spiced latte from here, which I told him there was no way that happened, and that he must be confusing us with somewhere else.
08:53But then he demanded it again.
08:55Again.
08:56So I told him he had three options.
08:59He could either go home and wait patiently for next October.
09:04Or he could go home and build a time machine so that he could go back to the last October.
09:12Or forward to next October.
09:15Hmm, that is a little harsh. Sounds like something I would say.
09:21Although, yeah, if I did, I would already have some fake time machine instructions and I would hand it to him and say,
09:30Get to work on this. It'll solve your coffee dilemma.
09:32But, but, it doesn't end there.
09:39Then he said he wanted to speak to the manager.
09:43Then I said, there's no point. She's just gonna say exactly the same thing that I've said.
09:49And then I told him to get out. He was holding up the line.
09:52Customers that are set on one thing that does not exist are the worst.
09:56Anyway, by this point, the manager did manage to show up.
10:01And she made him a pumpkin spice latte.
10:05Apparently, the pumpkin spice flavour was in that secret storage cupboard that no one knows about.
10:12She said we needed a chat.
10:17It was short and sweet.
10:19I was fired.
10:21I'm just so sorry to hear that, Shari.
10:23Do you want me to show up there with a hidden camera and demand all sorts of nonsense? Hmm?
10:30And I'll post it on social media. I've done it before.
10:33No.
10:36Revenge is not appropriate.
10:39It's not that revengey. It's just some fun.
10:42They're expensive, of course.
10:45So that was only part of the ordeal.
10:47Then I went to the bus stop after I'd been dismissed.
10:54And because I was kind of frazzled after this whole experience, I wasn't really paying much attention.
11:00So I got on what I thought was my bus.
11:03But because it was a different time, it turned out to be a completely different bus.
11:07And I ended up just out.
11:10In the middle of nowhere.
11:11Were you at a different stop?
11:15No! Same stop, different time.
11:18Turns out that it means it's a completely different bus.
11:22As I'm finding out.
11:24So you ended up in the wrong place.
11:26Couldn't you just tell them to turn around and take you back?
11:29Because you're on the wrong thing?
11:32Have you not ever been on a bus?
11:35That's not how it works.
11:37I was going to say the same thing.
11:38So I did ask the driver how I should get home, considering that I was on this wrong bus.
11:44But he said because he was driving, he cannot help me while he is driving.
11:50Clearly not a multitasker.
11:52Right? Not at all helpful.
11:56Luckily, there was a fellow passenger that told me about an app that has all the bus times and stuff on.
12:03Apparently I did already have it, I just never use it.
12:06It is terrible.
12:10But it did give me a number to call if I needed help.
12:14Not many apps will point you to a lower tech solution.
12:17Very rare.
12:19So I talked to dear Eugenia on the phone, who told me that I need to transfer to the number 47 and then to the number 12 to get back home.
12:28But this took nearly 30 minutes of her typing away on her computer to figure it out.
12:34That reminds me of this one time I was in an airport and I picked up one of those courtesy phone things and I asked how do I leave?
12:45And they asked me by plane or by car or by bus.
12:53And I knew it had to be something not the plane because I had just gotten off a plane.
13:02But beyond that I wasn't quite sure.
13:03So they couldn't really help me.
13:06How is that relevant?
13:08I mean Sherry's had a bad day, a really bad day.
13:12I was just trying to relate.
13:13That was the closest thing I could think of.
13:15Anyway, I made the transfers that Eugenia told me about and I managed to get home.
13:22Later than normal.
13:23And then of course today was the day that my computer decided to take the day off.
13:29Yes, we all sure saw all of that.
13:34What was actually wrong?
13:36We didn't want to connect to the meeting and then when it did it was just a big mess.
13:42What a stupid, stupid day!
13:45Can I just redo it or something?
13:48Sorry it was so terrible for you, Sherry.
13:51Wow, Sherry.
13:54I've had some bad days but your day, whew.
13:58That might top all of mine or most of mine in recent memory at least.
14:04How are you feeling now, Sherry?
14:07I don't know.
14:08Blue me.
14:11Like the world hates me.
14:13Except I somehow knew that if I could get back home and get on to see you guys,
14:18it would somehow be a little bit better.
14:23You guys are the best.
14:25Now are you sure you don't want me to go over to the coffee shop and be really annoying?
14:30I am good at it.
14:31It might make you laugh when I share the footage.
14:35No.
14:36But thanks, Rob.
14:37I know that's just your way of helping.
14:39Sherry's a very neat and amazing.
14:43You ought to check out when she's freezing, when she says...
14:47Greg, please.
14:49No songs.
14:51Especially not about me.
14:52Just throw up some more animal videos and pictures if you want to cheer me up.
15:00That song was just uncomfortable.
15:02Really? Well, yeah. Sorry. It's just off the top of my head. It just... yeah.
15:07So, Sherry, while you were not here, we were talking about old times.
15:12Reminiscing about those who are no longer at these meetings.
15:17Like Reynaldo, Wenjun and some others.
15:21Oh, I like those discussions. Can we jump back to that maybe?
15:27Well, um, we still have another 20 minutes left.
15:31So, I guess we sure can.
15:34I don't know if Greg continues to insist Gemma was somehow better than Charles.
15:37I mean, seriously flawed.
15:40Gemma was okay. Okay, she didn't know as much as Charles.
15:46But actually, she was a bit more fun.
15:49Are you saying she was better?
15:51Not a chance.
15:54Just different.
15:56And as you know, I'm pretty sure that I saw Substitute Instructor Gemma the other day.
16:00It was from quite far away, but I'm pretty sure it was her.
16:03Have a good
