Crying at work because my job is "look at golden retrievers on the internet."
There’s nothing in the rule book. Nothing about golden retrievers. Nothing about basketball. Nothing about golden retrievers playing basketball. We forgot to write the rules.
I'm tired of being bombarded with new information. Hit me with some of your best old information.
Taking interest in my daughter’s hobbies. (Watching her favorite bird feeder cam on YouTube with her every morning.)

I love getting email rejections for jobs I forgot I even applied to 8 months ago. Oh no, a company I don’t remember doesn’t want me! Whatever will I do?

If an influencer's manager is a jerk to you, your job should allow you to tell them to fuck off. That should be in my contract: that I'm allowed to tell one rude manager to go fuck themselves.
Siri? AI? You mean those things I disable on everything Apple I own?

Hi-Chew reposted the silly thing I did and they should probably hire me to their social team.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Cha—oh, goddamnit! Hold on let me try again…
