issenlloPerson I know: There's no such thing as evolution! Things don't change just like that.
Same person: Do you know that the Covid-19 virus mutated?
(Next) Person I know: It's not a scam! It's an investment opportunity. ____ is going to return my money! There's no need to make a report.
Me: I have tried my best and saints can't do more.
Same person: Might I interest you in this scam-awareness FB group?
Me (hands over TWO keys): Here's the front door key and the mailbox key.
Client: But they are unlabeled! How do I know which is which?!
Me: I know, it's gonna be really tough to figure this out.

It's been an interesting couple of months. Work is pretty hectic, and I'm stuck between hoping it quiets down soon and fearing that it really does quiet down, leaving me out of a job. Also bitching about new HDB (aka public housing) launches, as usual.
Hope everyone enjoyed Deepavali (Diwali), although I was annoyed that it was not on a weekday. I really could have used a long weekend, cruel world!
Also, a bat just flew in my window and went straight to the bananas in the kitchen. *sigh*

Watching:
琉璃 aka Love and Redemption, which is turning out to be just the emotional outlet I need, as it contains as many angsty parts as the lovey-dovey parts, so I can revel and ff as I like. I adore Tengshe, by the way.
A few episodes of the Crown, mainly for Gillian Anderson's portrayal of Thatcher.
The Untamed, again, while I wait for the other Xiao Zhan shows to air (and to a lesser extent, Wang Yibo's).
Chinese version of Hikaru no Go. The version of Sai is... indescribable. The ff button is pretty useful. But I really do appreciate how they show the weiqi/Go world. And not to bitch on Queen's Gambit, but Hikago (anime or Chinese version) is still better.
