Advice for job hunters: only idiots reply to an automatic reply.

Desperation is not a good look.

Neither is an e-mail that comes in at 3 AM Saturday night.

Why are we still using printers?

They do nothing but jam.

It finally dawned on me that I’ve been channeling Tina Turner in ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome’ for all my adult life. Bust a deal, face the wheel. #RaggedyMan

There are some people who only have memes to offer.

Avoid them.

I previously posted a quick text exchange between Skip and myself as a #TinyThread; today is Suzie’s turn, but don’t tell her because I didn’t get her permission yet.

SUZIE: I’m not positive on this, but a quick scan of our work fridge seems to indicate that someone brought in SpaghettiOs for lunch.

ME: Ok. NEVER scan the work fridge. This is basic office protocol. You put your stuff in, and you take your stuff out. Do not touch, look, scan or involve yourself in the rest of the fridge. It’s like Fight Club only more dangerous.

Situation: you’re at the café, you order your drink and you get about seventeen cents back in change. No spare dollar bill, not even a quarter – just some pennies, a nickel and a dime. Do you put this into the tip jar? I never do, thinking it’s more of an insult to give such a piddling amount. To me, it always felt like one of those silent fuck-you-I hate-change-too-so-I’m-leaving-the-mess-for-you-to-clean-up-while-looking-like-I’m-tipping-you-which-for-all-intents-and-purposes-I’m-not-because-what-the-fuck-can-anyone-do-with-seventeen-goddamn-cents moves. Am I wrong? Or does every penny count?

Sometimes being right is the loneliest thing in the world.

And sometimes the payoff for not being right is not being alone.

Another term that needs to go away: nothing-burger.

Life is messy. Perfection is an impossible, elusive thing.

That doesn’t mean we can’t try.

It does mean we shouldn’t expect anything.

What do you think about people who talk on the speakerphone in the grocery store, or any store for that matter?

I despise them.

Forget living paycheck to paycheck, I’m living three paychecks in the future. That’s how much money has already been spent.

The only math I know is subtraction.

We could learn a lot from tulipmania, but we probably won’t.
