Just watched a guy at the store replace the double-stuffed Oreos in his shopping cart with regular-stuffed while muttering "You're on a diet, Jerry. You're on a diet."

Keep fighting the good fight, Jerry.

Fun fact: Books are so heavy that there are new libraries that have had to be torn down and rebuilt because the architects forgot to account for the weight of the paper!

Can't decide if leaving behind my phone and computer and just walking into the woods for a week sounds more like a terrible idea or absolute heaven.

I just had to explain to a Gen Alpha cousin of mine the concept of having to buy music, and I I've never felt older in my life.

I just overheard some woman yelling "I'M TOO STRESSED TO TAKE A VACATION!" into her phone in the parking lot, and I don't think I've ever related to anyone more in my life.

The biggest problem with having a blind pitbull is that you have to seriously consider getting additional collision insurance in case his head dents the parked cars he runs into on a daily basis 🤦

Us to printer: "How?? HOW do you print 7 pages UPSIDE-DOWN in every book we ordered??"

Printer to us: *Very calmly points to the upside-down pages in the files WE sent them.*

Us to printer: "You know what? We can probably move on to the next topic."

My skydiving friend asked me if I wanted to come with him sometime.

Working at a publisher is all fun and games until you remember books weigh 2-3lbs each, come in boxes of 15, and your company calculates shipping in *tons*...

Help.
