My dream job is just attending zoom meetings all day and smoking and nodding through them all..
My employer requires us to be on camera in meetings, and forbids smoking or vaping on camera.

But our customer has no camera requirement. The daily team meetings and other meetings are good candidates for afternoon pipes.

At the half way mark of this bowl of KBV Fuzzy's Royal Scam in a medium bend 2001 Ural lattice Rhodesian with a yellow with white swirls acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Busy writing beta notes on the three blends that I've been smoking. Still have another blend that I haven't gotten to yet. Tomato the Brave came in, and ate. I let Harry the Hairy in, and got tired of the two not getting along while I was taste testing this blend. Harry just wouldn't leave Tomato alone. Tomato was in between fighting back and avoiding Harry. When Harry jumped over to Tomato, I got up, and put him out. Tomato wasn't comfortable after that even though I paid him some attention to smooth his nerves. He was afraid to go outside when he wanted to because Harry was near the door. I picked Tomato up, and took him to the side of the deck so he'd be away from Harry. Going to watch the Orioles-Red Sox game now.

Passing the half way mark of this bowl of first production Watch City American Cut Plug Mixture in a straight smooth brown undated Gesandt Canadian Made in England with a tapered black vulcanite stem. This pipe was originally owned by Poul Schluter, who was the Prime Minister of Denmark from 1982-1993.

A third of the way through this bowl of year 2020 D&R VIP in a 2004 smooth long shank Trever Talbot Ligne Bretagne Faite en Bretagne 4/3 lumberman with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Daisy the Feral Princess sure lives up to her name these days. Lately, she just sits outside on a chair in the evenings, and when I ask her to come in, she continues to sit still more often than she moves toward me. She gotten used to me picking her up and bringing her in to eat. She always eats when I bring her in. Yeah, I've spoiled her rotten. Enough so that she lets me know she is a princess as she's by my side demanding attention.

At the last third of this bowl of Wilke 10 Downing Street in an undated straight, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard billiard with a brown accent on the tapered black vulcanite stem. I let Tomato the Brave in to eat his wet food, but had to make Harry the Hairy back off because he came to the door, too. I fed him and Daisy the Feral Princess, who actually got out of her chair to walk three feet to the dry food. After Tomato ate, he came up to me for a head scratch, then gently bit my left foot, head butted my leg, and then gave me a "yip", which meant he wanted more rubbing and scratching. Sometimes, it's hard to tell who is worse between him and Daisy. At least he let me stop long enough to post this smoke, as he lays on my feet wanting more. Looks like I won't finish reading baseball box scores tonight.

Right as I was going to post this smoke, Tomato jumped up on my chair, and I spent ten minutes rubbing his ears. He purred up a storm, and has finally settled by my side. I spent nearly this entire smoke giving him attention. He's silly and is a goofball, but he loves me so there's worse things that he could be. :)
