I'm amazed at the number of people who talk over others. I have white noise deafness, so I'm super sensitive to it, but I miss probably 20-30 percent of conversations daily because people are rude and trying to talk over another person. These people are why we invented tasers. Heh

Do you know why ex-husbands don't wish their ex-wives Happy Mother's Day?

Because it's just another thing that's their goddamn fault.

Heh

I'm required to review security training materials regularly for two clients. One, I review regularly and keep up. The other, I lapsed for several months. Now I'm catching up and am astounded how repetitive and little new info is in any of these. It's the same 4 lessons over and over. Ugh.

When you realize that the real audience for your social media content is you, the world changes.

Is it just me? 99% of the personal business interactions I’ve had lately (haircut, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.) I’ve been stood up, ignored, treated like an idiot, told “that’s not my problem,” etc.

Is something in the air or am I clueless to me being a dick to them? (Don’t think I have been.)

For one client, I go through TikToks and Instagram reels looking for engagement opportunities. If you think the shit you see on your feed is ridiculous, you should shadow me one day. Found a dude with thousands of followers who just shows clothes tumbling in a dryer. ASMR. Nothing else. No lie.

The most fun I've had was mistakenly being added to a girls night out group text. They input the area code wrong on one number. When they asked what time I'd be there, I answered, "Might be late. Tim gave me chlamydia." I guessed right. One of the gal's was dating a Tim. Hilarity ensued.

Thinking about switching all my social media content to be my old social media advice regurgitated, but off the rails. Like, "You shouldn't post the same content across social channels because the audiences are different. But if you are going to, please do so in ass-less chaps."

My girlfriend and her kids are still mad at me for standing up in nothing but my underwear and dancing in the hot tub on Saturday. My response is simple: Why else would they have it running full steam in the middle of Lowe's?

I made it 38 days into 2025 before going back on my promise to cut back on concerts this year. I saw over 120 acts last year. I just bought tickets to two festivals which may put me close to that number again in this year. Oh well. #yolobaby

There is nothing more irritating nor embarrassing than having a wait staff interrupt EVERYONE by singing happy birthday to someone. I’ve literally left my family sitting there the one time they tried it on me.

I'm as big a fan of them as anyone, but can we all agree The Beatles have no business winning Grammys anymore? Seems unfair to living artists a bit.

Since the pharma companies are making billions off of us and the system, I think it's high time we demand they come up with a device that sucks the ball of snot out from behind our nose during cold season without having to medicate. What I wouldn't give for that now. (Decongestants makes me dopey.)

Oddly satisfying: When you're on a conference call prepping for a panel discussion at a conference and one of the other panelists uses your ideas and phrasing from something you wrote 15 years ago. Guess someone was paying attention. Heh.

Friday night listening: 49 Winchester’s first three albums, John Prine’s Sweet Revenge, Leon Majcen’s new self-titled, Joni Mitchell’s Blue, Tyler Childers Live from Red Barn. Maybe Pearl Jam Ten.

I once emailed someone with, "Let's meet for lunch at 12 on Thursday at The Bristol." They responded with "Cool! What time?" (It got worse after. Took 4 emails for them to get it.) But now I'm seeing business instructions not followed. Our collective stupidity is going to lead to our demise.

This is what happens when my mother calls to say she's broken her nose: I come up with a better explanation than hers to tell everyone.

Quick show of hands ... how many of you also want to take a hammer to people who talk over other people on a Zoom call?

(To their computer if you're more peaceful than me.)

On a rare occasion, I write stuff. It's normally on Medium. Enjoy the funniest thing I've ever said if you wish:

My therapist and I have been talking about toxic families and toxic family members. (Generally, not specifically mine.) But the more I think about it, if I get rid of toxic family members, I won't have any left. Heh.
