Truth!!! @holdernessf family - Thanks for the laughter I needed today. 😅

[@cryofpaine]

Honestly, working from home is so much better for everyone, I don't know why they wouldn't make it permanent. The company doesn't have to pay for office space, electricity, cleaning, etc. We're not having to drive into the office everyday, which is better for the environment. Productivity is actually up for most people. Unless you have to deal with customers, there's really no need to be in the office.

This is pretty dang accurate for how people are acting upon returning to the office from a year off...woops...I mean after a year of "working" from home wink wink

[@user-wb9yn1bs8z]

In a way it’s good to be able to work from home especially during winter as I consider it very hazardous and also if you have children it’s easier to work from home as long as you are Continuing to fulfill your responsibilities to your employer. It Can also be to confining as I feel we do need that’s socialization with others even briefly. God bless everyone

[@montecarlo4294]

@@user-wb9yn1bs8z Work from home was never meant to become permanent. For one thing, it is NOT the same thing as working in an office, and too, it was also a year plus vacation for many people. I saw many people who claimed they were working from home, but anybody with a pulse could see that it was nothing but a party for them

[@jasminezed7839]

@@user-wb9yn1bs8z I agree mostly with what you said, but it is a billion times harder to work from home with kids than in an office.

I haven't laugh cried this much in like over a year! So True, this just happen to me and I was mortified...this is real people :-)

[@dorianr4770]

I think one hard part about going back out into world is trying on your not-slummy clothes and realizing nothing fits anymore. So now I'm going to have to buy new pants, shirts, bra... and, oh right, there aren't fitting rooms. (even if open, I'd be uncomfortable) (but still kinda need fitting rooms because buying stuff, realizing it doesn't fit, returning, rebuying, such a pain)

[@QUICKBOOKS1]

Don't even get me started. The GOOD thing is, the bulk of the body change is muscle from carrying boxes from Delivery People into this apartment. I thought "That Muffin Top" would be the problem. The BAD thing is, I need a new Wardrobe.

[@guadalupeandrade5916]

Just try it on in the public bathrooms and go back into the store and return what didn't fit.

[@crene40]

I’m so glad y’all had Kim doing the fart sounds because it’s just so much funnier with a lady in the office. If it had been Penn yes it would’ve been funny but not nearly as much with Kim

[@tinaperez7393]

It's sad that's it's funnier if it's a woman because women are typically held to a different / higher standard (NOT that they shouldn't be - just observing that and the bar should be raised for men not lowered for women to meet the men's level) - a woman farts and it means a whole other level of losing socially functional behavior. A guy farts and it's not completely unexpected and almost like "well what do you expect - he's a GUY" as if that explains the lowered expectations for "guys" and the double standard. Oddly, Penn comes across as a bit of a "higher level" guy (sad that that can be applied just cuz someone doesn't seem like they commonly publicly fart) so even if he were the miscreant the humor still wouldn't be quite as impactful* as Kim as it would come across as only a little out of character for Penn (publicly anyway!). Whereas not only is it a whole other level of "too relaxed" when a woman does, it's also Kim who's usually the "fart police" of her own home. Okay. Sorry for the doctoral thesis! 😥 Holderness channel viewing is essential. My being a being a "keyboard warrior" in its comments section, not so much! What am I doing with my life? 🤔😜🙄😁😭 *=😆

[@crene40]

[@ripmomcovid4678]

Hilarious and true. I wish occasional gas were the only thing I would be concerned about. Unemployed looking for remote work from home- if employers remained in business for a year with their work staff working from home, *they have worked out how we can do it indefinitely.* Done risking my neck as an essential worker for thirty years, hearing "if you can't come to work, we will come out and get you. Where do you live?" "An hour and a half, two counties away, across a river and up a mountain. And the state highway is closed, so if you are in an accident on it, your insurance companies will not cover you." (Response is the sound of crickets.) Most work does not have to be face to face. :)
