Productivity in the Time of Lockdown: 20 Questions

*Blog post started on March 27, 2020.

To Do List at the Day Job:

  • Finish the critique of the proposed training/reference material: Check.
  • Complete transcribing movie reviews from 10 year-old journal to blog posts. Check.
  • Be the first to win "Drive Up Bingo": Check.
  • Read through all the wrestling, sports, news and entertainment websites: Check.
  • Relabel a large portion of this blog post labels to inspire random website traffic: Check.
  • Remember to make sure my drawer is balanced. Check.

Technically, 20 Questions:

  1. Do I have a priority issue? I will leave that to my supervisor, who is on my Facebook friends list.
  2. Am I asking for a write up? That would at least kill time between customer droughts.
  3. I have plenty of empty pages in at least two of the four journals that I had brought in. But since I am not exceptionally pissed at anyone personally right now, what is the point?
  4. Anyhow, my first day off in two weeks is Sunday. Am I really going to use it to pen the next great novel? 
  5. Do not ask me, "Should you?"
  6. If I cannot beat Galar Pokémon League Champion Leon with my Gyrados, Manetric, Piloswine, Doublade, Gloom, and Cinderace, my day is all filled up. How can you ask anything else of me?
  7. It's 2 p.m. I must be bored. Was that Matchbox Twenty reference a stretch?
  8. I need to come up with some idea to fill the time. Is it safe to state some screenplay ideas I have?
  9. With my codependency issues, should I trust you if the answer is yes?
  10. If the answer is yes, where have you been to tell me how to get my low-budget, pro-wrestling zom-com film "Main Event of the Dead" out of development hell? If you would like a story treatment, send me an e-mail to russthebus07@gmail.com.
  11. There are 17 minutes until my shift ends. Can I come up with 10 more questions?
  12. Am I in desperate need of improv classes?
  13. Will this be a weekly thing during the time of COVID-19?
  14. Why have we not come up with a great, non-racist nickname for it?
  15. How about calling it Fuck Bug-19?
  16. Cunt is my favorite curse word. Would it be sexist to call it Cunt-19?
  17. Which Trump are you hoping contracts it?
  18. Was this a blog that was worth putting out, or just an exercise?
  19. How desperate am I for interaction during lockdown?
  20. Is it cruel to: After accidentally stepping on your ex-girlfriends cat, corner it because you know your cat senses its weekened state, and let my better half whack the shit out of him for three seconds?
