Furlough

[laughs] Uh, and it's, I mean, do you think this is a cycle that we're going through? Uh, I think it reas- seems reasonable enough to date it to the, to the bank bailouts.

Uh, r- regardless of sort of public perceptions of, of how or why that went on, uh, clearly, uh, COVID and lockdowns and, um, I can't even remember what the word, what was the word that we used for the money that we paid people out during? Furlough.

Furlough.

That was it.

And it was out to help out.

You know, get folks working on patches and stuff, which that game could definitely use 'cause it definitely has some, uh, per- performance issues.

Un-furlough.

Okay, several people are saying un-furloughing, so that sounds like a real term.

Thank you, guys.

Okay, so the funnest part of this whole trip really was that my sister Austin, her husband, and the kids were all in New York 'cause they're starting their, like, eight-week American trip.

Furlough.

[laughs]

[laughs] So they were in New York.

I wish they didn't lay off that en- like, entire team or whatever from Bit Reactor [laughs] got like a leg, right?

Oh, at Furlough.

'Cause dude, they're...

Man, that writing team, ugh.

And this was before they announced, what was it called?

Furlough.

furlough so this was just in that window so i was like i've got to go pedal to the metal so that was fine because tome was off work because he couldn't work so he took the complete ownership of the child care so if he was like two or whatever at the time and i just went pedal to the metal and so i was working from first thing in the morning until eight o'clock at night took on anyone anyone who wanted anything i was like yes And so I think there was just a series of bad habits that meant that I built up this done for you business where I was definitely burning out.

I was like, this is completely unsustainable.

You know, you be getting in the paint.

Furlough, I'm just saying.

Furlough is a weekend getaway trip where, like, you...

When he

say furlough?

I love you, too.

You didn't say furlough.

I was trying to see if Fallow and Furlough kind of was the same.

Yeah, that was awful.

Furlough was brought in for COVID, right? It was a great thing in the UK.

I think furlough is the coward's way out.

Because in the UK, it meant the government gave you money because you were currently on furlough.
