Okay. The casting for the latest Allstate college oriented commercials is great. They hired guys that even their mothers would punch in the face. The buck tooth idiot who barks at his boss during a meeting. The other idiot with no apparent eyebrows who lets the longhorn steer out of its enclosure. It’s all uncomfortable. Which makes me also despise these spots. Am I wrong?

Are college kids watching commercials?

Maybe those who didn’t attend the game. Mostly alumni are watching would be my guess.

How’s your WFH workload, all? This week: Mon: 10 am - 2 am. Tues: 9 am-8 pm. Wed: 10 am-9 pm. Thurs: 10 am - 8 pm. Fri: 9:30 am-8 pm. Sat: 10 am - 7 pm. Sun: noon - 4 pm, then 7 pm - 11 pm.
This ... is ... not ... sustainable! I’m the sole earner and have a kid, so “just quit!” during a pandemic is not it - and “setting boundaries” ain’t easy when I’m always reachable by text/zoom/email. I’m fortunate to have a job, but damn. Working From Home = Working Forever From Everywhere. And it sucks.
