Dumb men like to say shit like "You'll die alone with your cats." Well I'll have my cats so I won't die alone!

Ugh I hate being in a room of Corporate people. I usually end up in a corner not talking to anyone.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what happened. Couldn't move much either as the suit was uncomfortable as hell too and borderline suffocated me the whole evening.

Food was odd as well. Not exactly bad, but more meant as an experience and an art piece rather than food meant for eating to fill up the stomach.

Had to go back couple of dozen times to eventually get some resemblance of a full stomach.

Though, i apologize for the venting.
