Most of the teachers I know teach the same class every year. Can’t they just…reuse the same plan? It’s not like we’re rapidly discovering new facts about the War of 1812.
I recently discovered my new employer isn’t withholding local taxes, so I will be spending my federal tax refund on my local tax liability. Very exciting.
I am one of the people hiding everyone who posts about politics. Not because I don’t want to know what’s going on, I have Twitter for that, but because people posting on Facebook almost is always about expression rather than persuasion. There’s almost no nuanced thought, just tribal talking points that have, at best, a loose relationship with fact. The sources are usually partisan groups – US Uncut, Breitbart, etc – trying to belittle the other side instead of understanding them. I mean, just look at when people discuss abortion. Realistically the debate should be “at what point does this collection of cells become a human being with the rights and protections that entails” but no one ever discusses that; instead, you hear “you just want to control my vagina” or “you just want to murder babies.” Neither of these reflects the motivation of the other side and neither of these will convince a single person who doesn’t already agree with you. But that’s the level of discussion you get.
This may be a lightly unpopular opinion, but I can’t be the only one who hates the word “adulating,” can I? Buying a Tide pod and broiling chicken should not be so difficult that you need a special word to describe the ordeal.
There’s someone who went to my high school who’s name is like that. And every time someone buys a car he makes a Facebook video with them. Why? I would never buy a car from somewhere where I ended up being in an awkward reverse dashcam review of the used Kia Soul I just bough.
Timely. I came in today to find some terrorist/coworker/cleaning crew staff with a grudge had stolen just the rubber part of my headphones. Which is both gross, and cruel. Now I have to hear every sound my exceptionally loud cube neighbors make.
It took me a minute (or “hot minute”, as Girl would say) when she switched to Todd’s Instagram to realize she wasn’t viewing his profile, but of course logged in as him. I have no words for how insane she is.
My old office had a regular drip coffee maker, so our problem was “why are all 4 pots empty?” I’d happily make coffee all morning since it was better than doing my actual job.
Are soccer jerseys still cool as shit if the sponsor on the front is the unfortunately-named Mexican bakery Bimbo? Asking for someone who spent $110 on one and is worried about getting weird looks around town.
I have to strongly disagree on Two Girls One Cup being bad. It got me my job!
Turns out my company was down to two candidates, and when they googled us, the first thing that came up for the other person was a 2G1C reaction video. They were…not impressed.
Cable news just reports things that happened an hour ago on Twitter anyway. Pick a few good journalists/outlets to follow and you can get a pretty good mix. @whpresscorps is a good start!

What’s wrong with the guy in tax accounting?!
– Guy who took a break from filing tax forms to eat alone in the break room.

I’m not sure which of my Christmas list items is more PGP: winter car mats, or new sheets.

I can’t imagine calling in stressed on anxious would go over well.

Getting sick from a whole wheat Eggo is just karma.

Maybe the best part of middle school snow days was being home to watch Jerry and Maury.
My office mom at my last job and I would talk about it every Thursday. Might be the only thing I miss from that place…
My boss constantly tells me to copy him on my emails. I think he’s trying to get everyone I email to hate me.
I wish I made enough to be gluten intolerant. It is an income thing, right? Because I’ve never heard a poor person claim they can’t eat gluten.
I’m told by my politically-loud Facebook friends that these aren’t the types of jobs we need in America anyway, so I guess that’s fine?
