October 2020

It feels as if time has stood still. It has been a while since I last hung out with people to play Pokemon Go. Playing solo has been okay. The walks within the 5 km bubble are not all that bad. The trees would sway, and the flowers would release the scent into the air. On the odd occasion, I would come to encounter a cat, a dog, or a bird. I have found an Italian bakery, a pop-up ice cream shop in a warehouse, and a few parks I would never visit when working in the city.

Work

My days are filled with two to six Zoom meetings a day. I would monitor several communication platforms. Also, I am part of four working groups. 

PoGo 

I think, I went a bit over with the remote raids, but I am learning how convenient it is to reach raids from a distance, sometimes you just cannot get to raid before it hatches. I will attempt to master raiding while on a tram ride before the lockdown is over.

I am learning to create strings on notepad for quicker means of distributing invites and host raids for others. 

I still need to chalk up my skills to catch more than 100 pokemon in an hour.

Dating

Oh. Man. I took it upon myself to try online dating during COVID-19 pandemic. I started with Plenty of Fish (POF,) and uploading a photograph was a painful process. In the meantime, I sent off four messages, and I got one reply the next day. My pic was still not accepted at this time. There was no need for in-app currency to connect or to send someone a message. Mr M. and I chatted none stop for two days.  

Then one blasted evening, I was booted off the platform. POF called me a bot and stated I had abused their community (of men). All I did was reject a few men. It infuriated me, and so I posted it on Twitter under #Fail. A very laughable moment indeed. I had to tell my friends about my so-called misdemeanour. In that space of time, I signed up to Coffee meets Bagel. 

It took POF three days to apologise and sort it out. Unfortunately, the account was 100% deleted, but they allow me to use my original email to sign up once more. From there, I reconnected with Mr M, and he wondered where I had gone. He laughed at my situation and suggested I vary my rejection style. I delete messages now. Mr M and I have since taken our chat session to FB messenger just in case I get BANNED from dating app again. Haha.

A quick overview: 
  • Most men were looking for hooks up and desperate to have sex. 
  • Many of them were NOT interested in getting to know you.
  • Poor communication skills.
  • They cannot carry a conversation.
  • Each message had a 12-hour gap between them.
