Today's Keyboard Smash
Sep. 16th, 2021 04:48 pmI have a little frog in my PPE. Not really, sadly, but it definitely sounds like it. The very first thing I do in the morning is clean the machines with a compressed air and dry ice machine. The air stream, if it hits particular parts of the machine, makes a truly disastrous whistling noise, fit to kill megafauna at a hundred paces. So I am equipped with ear protection and a face shield.
I have discovered that some parts of this getup are rubbing on other parts in a way that, on rare occasions, makes precisely the sound of a little frog croaking. The adorable sort of croaking, too, just a precious little gwak of a noise. Because it's transmitting through the ear covers, it sounds as close to my ear as my earbud does, rather than like something out in the muffled room beyond. Little frog riding around in my ear. I am amused by this endlessly and look forward to hearing it just as though I had a real frog keeping me company on my rounds.
