The Read Free Fortnight (RFF) thrill ride rolls on at The Diary.
It’s Sparrow, an average man passing an average life…
Sunday, June 6
The recent tech refresh at the hotel included touch screen monitors for his own personal amusement, and ol’ Sparrow farted around with the new feature a lot tonight.

The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Trump Reinstatement – Good gravy, the insurrectionist-in-chief actually believes he will be reinstated president…Of course, ignorance like this is par for the course for a man who is a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars…And that the Revolution was won by Americans securing British airports.
2. Donald Trump Supporters – Your man remains a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars (see above)…Please, tell us again which of these traits continues to earn your support.
3. Lauren Daigle – Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters preparing to bid adieu to Daigle’s regular weekly entry as single You Say drops to #3 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Singles chart after Billboard all-chart record 129 non-consecutive weeks at #1…While mindful this is a rather niche chart, Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” this is still one of the great accomplishments in chart history.
4. Coors Field – Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” putting cream cheese on a bratwurst the greatest single greatest advance in the culinary arts since cheese was first deep fried, created either by some concession stand worker with some extra cream cheese that was about to go bad or by Providence on the 7th day.
5. GOP Voting Laws – Why would any lawmaker in a nation conceived in liberty want to do anything other than to make voting as easy as possible for every citizen? Because the GOP is hell-bent on force-feeding their narrow, racist worldview on entire country…Why will be a great mystery when future historians gather to sort through the rubble of what was once the United States.

Yes, it is Read Free Sunday (RFS) at The Diary. Enjoy with Sparrow’s compliments.
The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow reports there are new items at the hotel’s sundry stand. Today’s Diary.
Joining the roster are those Push-Up deals we used to eat a lot as kids but which yours truly personally hadn’t seen for ages and a new ice cream cookie deal, this one featuring M&Ms…Good gravy, that looked good…I resisted the urge to field test one – to ensure a quality product for our valued guests, of course – after looking at the label: the cookie is a sugar cookie and the ice cream has added sugar and the whole shebang has 23 grams of sugar, something that’ll spike your blood sugar just writing about it.

Saturday, June 5
Amy is off to the early lead in the June reward club signup race at the hotel, leading Assistant Front Desk Manager Q 3-to-2 after the first few days…I took advantage of the opportunity to jab the knife in a little further that Q’s reign as monthly signup champion is probably coming to an end, what with Amy moving to five PM shifts a week now, instead of three.

The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow waters the grass at The Shire. Today’s Diary.
The fly in the ointment, tho, is with the new weed store going up next door you just can’t put the big sprinkler on and turn it up full blast because you’ll water a good portion of the construction area…

Tom looked in vain among the gang, as they poured along, for companionable faces. He saw only sullen, scowling, imbruted men…the strong pushing away the weak,—the gross, unrestricted animal selfishness of human beings, of whom nothing good was expected and desired…

Friday, June 4
There was some moderate action at the veterans service office (VSO) today…There were two messages waiting for me, one from Mr C and one from Mrs P…Regular readers of this crap may – or they may not – recall that Mr C is the gent living in a trailer without running water whose brother originally contacted me, while Mrs P is the widow whose late husband had originally been turned down for a claim the VA now routinely approves.

The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow’s in the big city and goes to the ballgame. Today’s Diary.
The big news is ol’ Sparrow found a stand where they sold – and I am not making this up – a bratwurst with cream cheese on it!!!…Again, I am not making this up…Temporarily flummoxed, I stood there staring at the menu for a few seconds like a dolt because this is something yours truly should have thought of ages ago…

Nourish your mind. Rest in the position of doing nothing, and things will take care of themselves. Never ask the names of things, do not try to figure out the inner workings of nature. All things flourish of themselves.

The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow whines about some minor, inconsequential issue at the hotel. Today’s Diary.
…which is the type of minor tho annoying inconvenience ol’ Sparrow loves to whine about because you simply cannot beat the convenience of a previously populated field being highlighted immediately upon cursor insertion…It enables you to merely type the name of the following report instead of having to go thru the hassle of backspacing away the name of the old report or – horror of horrors – moving the cursor and highlighting it yourself to delete it.

I think Mark might be in a rut because he has used red ink and blue highlighter for accenting his cash drawer spreadsheets (CDSS) for the past three weeks or so now…Recall he’s mixed them up in the past.

The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow is bothered all night at the hotel. Today’s Diary.
Included in the phone calls that pestered me tonight was a lady who wanted to verify her goddamn reservation for later this month…She had initially booked one room, but then added another and wanted to check and make sure two rooms were waiting for her…Her confusion stemmed from the fact that despite her having booked two rooms there was only one confirmation number, which happens, and she made me twice verify there were two rooms reserved for her and seemed disappointed I was unable to issue a second reservation number for her.
