The trough of dissolutionment!

I had to give up animal products and soy. At this point, I’d pay the $10/dozen if I could eat one without being sick. 😉

I share my birthday with my mom and son, which makes it easy for everyone to remember.

I can’t stop laughing at ham fists. 😂

Christmas Wrap by the Waitresses.

I don’t think there is a good reason for anyone to buy Bitcoin, let alone the US government.

Talk to your boss before your next shift - being proactive is key. Explain that you had a momentary blib of a reaction that embarrassed you and you left early. If your boss is anywhere near human, they will understand and offer guidance on what you can do if it ever happens again. Not that you owe your coworkers an explanation, but if you feel you need to address it, you can say something casual like, “sorry for the flip out yesterday, I’m not a great speller and can be embarrassed about it.”

This is a learning experience (albeit a terrible one). And if it makes you feel any better, anything I’m good at is because something terrible happened. I’m good at lots of stuff now. 😉

Hang in there!!

I’d be really curious about what is really means and how you manage or cope with it. If I knew you for a while it would be just another thing to file away about your personality. It probably is something you would share with people you are close to, but you may need to educate them on what it means.

That a bon fire was a “bomb” fire and therefore, very loud and very dangerous.

We hosted one while I was in college. He fit into our family well and we still stay in touch 20 years later.

I was not! I’ll have to check it out.

COVID originated in the swamps of the deep south.

Edit: obviously, not really, but we shouldnt be too quick to judge where it came from.

Musicals. 😬

Maybe… I depend on it for a bunch of stuff: my calendar, my personal and work email, communication with friends and family, getting my news, taking pictures of fun stuff I’m doing with my kids, reading books, grocery shopping, etc. During a recent power outage, I ended up going to a bookstore for a paper book, since that seemed to be the thing I missed most.

I don’t decorate, but my husband does (he’s super into it and I am not). He decorates the house for Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. One year, my kids made me put a waving jack skellington on my back windshield wiper.

This did in fact blow my mind!

Dumb question: where do you store your eggs now, if not the fridge? My American mind is reeling.

I went cold turkey with the help of Wellbutrin. Best of luck!

I own a small business and have had great luck hiring people from small liberal arts colleges with degrees like philosophy, history, humanities, etc. These folks are smart and with the right training can do anything. Even better if they have worked fast food in the past (weird, right?). MBA graduates are expensive but require the same training and support - so I personally won’t hire from that pool. Although I have an MBA because it was a box I had to check for a previous role. I got the cheapest one possible and have no regrets.

Yes, but I’m lazy as shit and often need pressure to do anything beyond scrolling through Lemmy. 😉
