I know for certain that my employer values my contribution because I've been late for work almost every day for decades & after the first 14 years they stopped talking to me about it. 👍 😀
Today I was ACTUALLY EARLY because if I drove in at my usual time I'd have had to stand outside in 23° winds.

After RFK scampered away…
Remember when a person fainted in the audience and President Obama rushed offstage to catch her?

I always use the same first word (because in my heart I’m 10 years old) but it very rarely starts this kind of story.

For the first time since I was a little kid, I got soap in my eye while showering.
Turns out, it hurts even more than I remembered!

On Friday I reached into the first aid kit at work for a fingertip bandage and saw that they ALSO had bandaids shaped for knuckles.
I briefly considered grabbing one for “just in case” but thought nah, when was the last time I cut my knuckle?
Just now. That’s when.

Coincidentally, just today I was showing my son these two Goya paintings (we were watching Attack On Titan.)
Giant figures are definitely an apt metaphor.

Apparently about 45 years ago, while I was an undergraduate, I wrote out a plan for my life but almost none of it came out as planned. (I DID get a Master’s in Materials, improve my social skills - eventually - & marry an angel.)
I probably shouldn’t have lost & then forgotten this paper!

I always use this starting word even though it means I’ll never get it in one, because I’m basically 10 years old.
I couldn’t resist picking the third one because same.

Here at the venue for the Squirrel Nut Zippers concert, but only got here 40 minutes before showtime.
The good news is that I found the last chair so I won’t be standing the whole time.
The bad news: It’s at the bar on the second floor, and this is the view of the stage:

I think it’s painfully obvious that if you get a Nazi tattoo as a young man then keep it for 18 years, long after its meaning should have become obvious, and have a problematic history with jokes about sexual assault and decades of anti gay slurs, you’re not the best Democrat to defeat an incumbent.

I’ve never seen anyone mention it or found anything about it on the interwebs, probably because it slipped under the radar like it slipped by the censors, but I’ll bet it’s the dirtiest joke in Chaplin’s film catalog.

I got these at less than half price because they were being discontinued and replaced with the identical weights but in a jungle camouflage pattern.
Because guys will carry them out to the jungle to blend in while we work out in army uniforms.
