In this bonus episode, Andrew tells the story of the most stressful morning he’s had in a long time, and it all started with something small that ended up in a place he couldn’t reach. Listen along to…
[upbeat music] Let's get started with this week's story, and I'm gonna tell you about my terrible, stressful morning that I had yesterday.
And the reason that my morning was terrible and stressful was because I kinda lost my phone.
I kinda lost my phone, and the reason I say I kinda lost it is because I knew where it was, but I couldn't access it.
So let me start at the start, and I'll tell you all of the details.
I guess in order to tell this story correctly, I need to describe my house and my bedroom for you.
If you're a longtime listener of Culips, you'll know that I live in a small home in Seoul, South Korea.
We've got a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and a little yard out front, and that's it.
Very tiny, tiny home.
And it's just my wife and me and my dog, so it kinda works for us.
It's a little bit cramped sometimes.
Sometimes we dream about having some more space, like an extra office and an extra bedroom.
How nice would that be? But I don't wanna complain.
I, I love my home, and I'm really happy where I'm at, so it's all good, but it is a little bit on the tight side.
