I did laugh! You’re funny. Now where to start. First, I always drive. Uh hum. It’s a default. “White flakes of joy” That’s a perfect phrase! GPS woman’s voice. Nope. I have ManSiri because I like, well, men. He has WomanSiri because, well, he can never agree with his woman and always has to be opposite. Your chirping. I could do hear ManSiri babbling in the distance of my earwaves. But then chirping turned into dje#%&h! from your mouth and I wondered what expletive you said and realized your GPS woman was probably exclaiming the same way at you. And now I’m also gonna have to turn mine onto walking to see the human figure running behind my truck.
I loved this. So funny and relatable. Thank you! My husband used to get furious with me for not being able to quickly look things up on google maps and help him determine what to do on his sometimes tedious and treacherous daily commute. He'd call me all stressed out (he didn't seem to have access to this on his phone and his older Mazda didn't have a built in GPS system. He works in technology and I obviously don't. Having someone expecting me to help him figure out a route around traffic snarls and accidents in a big hurry often led to some stressful conversations. Zoom in. No, zoom this way...and I was trying. But then I would give him some alternative routes that he has no frame of reference for, and I can't give him landmarks that he has no idea exist...well, anyway, he has worked from home since the pandemic early days, and for this very reason, that's been a relief. However, being together 24/7 (I work from home, too), isn't my idea of a picnic. I think solitude can be a gift. I built a wonderful writers cabin in our back yard so I'd have a peaceful refuge and place that's just mine. I meet with clients and sometimes have tea with friends back there. But your fun article brought up all of that!
Appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.😊

I indeed uttered a few well-placed expletives.😄 And I would totally download a GPS voice that called me an idiot when I choose my way over their's. 🙉🙊
Oh that’s hilarious chirp chirp..!

Thanks for reading!
And yes, if Brian and I worked from home together I'd probably need a shed/cabin/retreat to escape to as well.🙂
