I’m here to interact with people I know in real life, and learn from respected scholars / professionals.
What’s a phrase used in business that would be unacceptable in other contexts?

Could have been worse. I could have said “all problem”

How TF did Google give me exactly what I wanted given my incorrect, partial entry? I haven’t played / heard / read about this song in years!

Today was a productive day! A few hours of work-work; then mowed the lawn; fixed the AC (replaced condenser capacitor); removed a baby tree that was growing next to our garage; secured a troublesome board on our porch; and built a make-shift wooden gate to keep Penny in the yard. Whew! Beer me!

In the last 3 days I randomly rewatched Napoleon Dynamite and the Pee-Wee documentary. Thus seeing both Mac AND Charlie’s moms (Always Sunny in Philadelphia) from earlier in their careers.

As I approached the 3 empty urinals 2 steps behind another gentlemen; my inner demon begged me to say, “Oh, you’re using the one on the right? I was hoping you use that one. Can we switch?”

I can’t tell if I’m impressed by this hotel’s inclusivity; or offended at its indecisiveness / fence-sitting.
