Millennial Problems

I’ve gotten used to seemingly innocuous things making me feel old, but for some reason learning that the mayor-elect of New York City is younger than me hit especially hard.

An excerpt of the Wikipedia article for Zohran Mamdani. The phrase "first Millennial mayor-elect of New York City" is highlighted.
No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!

Mal-Come Again?

Over the years, there have been quite a few contenders for “worst misspelling of my name ever,” but this one’s just taken the top spot easily:

A handwritten receipt for a Costco pizza phone-in order, with "Malechon" written at the top

Spooky Scary Skeletons

I walked out the front door the morning after Halloween and saw this:

A small rock in a gravel lot, with black marks and a second, smaller rock below it that give it a striking resemblance to a skull.
πŸ’€

The black stuff was charred-on ash. Where did it come from? Not a clue.

Should I exorcise it or use it as a decoration?

Be Yourself

I know, it’s a tough job sometimes–but if you don’t do it, who will?

Why Am I Like This, pt. X

The contents of a fun-size bag of Skittles, arranged in precise rows and sorted by color.
Eating sequence: top to bottom, right to left. One of each color first, then two different colors at a time, etc. Leave one of every color for last and eat them all at once.

Office Problems, pt. II

Every office building should have a cozy, dimly-lit room with couches and a couple desks where you (1) aren’t allowed to make noise, and (2) are allowed to take a nap.

You think I’m joking, but no–it would be for accessibility! There areΒ lots of flavors of neurospicy other than mine that need some peace and quiet sometimes, and there are also times when the best thing you can do for your productivity is…take a nap. Rest isn’t a sign of laziness! Also, you don’t keep lazy people from avoiding work just by banning lazy-seeming behavior! Productivity should be measured by (gasp) how much work you actually get done, not how much time you spend looking busy!

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

*scrolls back, sees the meme I shared 15 seconds ago*

*has to check own status because I can’t remember if I actually shared it or just thought about sharing it*
