A friend asked what I’ve been up to lately.

Me: Buying the dip.

Them: Have you hit the bottom yet?

Me: I picked up a new phrase: “Beneath the basement there’s a cellar, and beneath the cellar there’s an underground parking garage.”

Them: …

Me: But I’m keeping a good attitude. If you can’t clock out, you’re trapped. If you can clock out but have nowhere to go home to, that’s what I call really buying the bottom. 😂

Don’t ask me what I’m buying the dip in. All I’ll say is: “Currently studying geology.” ⛏️🧗
