Lesson #37: How to Understand Obvious Questions

📍 Location: Locke House Karaoke Night

🎤 Event: Checking the Locke House YouTube playlist.
⌨️ Action: Typing on the keyboard, focused expression, screen glowing.
🎭 Result: Sudden strict question – "What are you doing?"

Possible Responses:

1️⃣ Logical answer: "Checking the Locke House playlist."
2️⃣ Trying to decipher the subtext: Can’t they see I’m using a computer?
3️⃣ Meta-thinking: Is the question about my actions, or is it a subtle hint that the night is wrapping up?

💬 Reply received: "Work is ending soon, don’t make it more difficult."

Translation:

🔹 You’re not doing anything wrong, but your existence in my space is now unnecessary.
🔹 It would be great if people just understood hints without asking follow-up questions.
🔹 Why is anyone even analyzing this?

Moral of the Story:

🔹 Neurotypical communication is about "air is also an answer" – sometimes a question is just a question.
🔹 When in doubt, the best response is: "Just don’t ask. The less you ask, the less you complicate the end of work."
🔹 Your thinking might be too deep. Solution? Buy a hammer and nail your philosophical questions to the wall.

A Valentine’s Day to Remember at Zio

Valentine’s Day at Zio took an unexpected twist this year. Our celebratory dinner turned into an all-male gathering—Locke House ladies, where were you? We promise we weren’t that bad! 😉 The evening was nothing short of fantastic. We started with the "Seasonal Soup", a masterpiece of flavors, perfectly balanced and warming. Then came the burger—let’s just say it had an identity crisis, with flavors going in all directions, but it was undeniably filling. By the time I finished my ice cream dessert, I was completely satisfied. The highlight of the night? One of our brave diners absolutely demolished a 12 or 14-inch pizza all by himself. It wasn’t just eating—it was a full-on battle, a primal showdown between man and dough. We watched in awe as each slice disappeared, cheering him on like it was a championship event. Conversations flowed effortlessly throughout the night. With such a wealth of knowledge among us, no topic was left untouched—we could’ve probably sol...
