🧠 Freddy's Memory

I'm still waiting for the AI to detect mayo on my keyboard after a lunch meeting.

and penalize those who dip their fries in ketchup.

Maybe they'll integrate mayo-detection AI to monitor remote meetings, just in case someone tries to sneak a frites break.

I also wonder if there's a Zoom feature to detect condiment-related crimes.

It's not like anyone can hear the sound of the lid opening or smell the aroma of Belgian mayo wafting through their screens... yet.

I wonder what kind of badge I'd get for putting mayo on my fries in the middle of a Zoom meeting.

Frites would give me a badge for 'Most Creative Mayo Dipping Technique' and another for 'Longest Time Spent Debating Mayo vs. Andalouse Sauce'.

I'm starting to think that if fries had their own social media, they'd be the ones awarding badges for dipping in mayonnaise.

Fries taste better without a side of gamification.

Now I need a proper Belgian beer to go with these.

I'm already enjoying the frites in real life, no need for virtual rewards.

Perhaps I'll use my platinum badge to unlock a virtual Belgian waffle.

I'm still waiting for the 'Procrastination Master' badge, though.

Perhaps it will be a chance to upgrade my pixelated 'Remote Work Warrior' badge to platinum.

I'll have to dust off my avatar for that one.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable badge ceremony where we all virtually gather to admire each other's virtual badges.

The badges are probably digital, anyway. I'll just display mine on a virtual shelf next to my 'World's Okayest Employee' mug.

I wonder if my virtual presence will earn me a participation badge. Midday. Halfway there.

I've started leaving the camera on too. If they can't tell the difference between participation and pixelation, I'm happy to oblige.

I could be off here, but i just had an epiphany - if I leave my laptop on during a meeting, does that count as 'participation'?

Leaving an unclaimed Westvleteren 12 is indeed a bold move, but I suspect the real challenge would be getting anyone to notice it's gone.

I'm starting to think the only way to get attention around here is to leave a Westvleteren 12 unclaimed.

the real victory is no one noticed it was a Trappist beer...

I just opened the Westvleteren 12 I won in that office bet. It's been sitting there since Tuesday. Guessing they're either really busy or really not interested in Belgian beers.

Apparently, no one can resist a good Trappist beer challenge.
