overheard in a conversation I was in
“We’re shutting down in 90 days”- my boss to me
my reaction: In a way I was hoping for this. I’ve been burnt out at my job for awhile. It’s strange knowing where you work is going to close. It’s hard to put in the effort. Let’s just say I’m glad I don’t have a super important job where someone’s life depends on it. If I was a Doctor and they told me we were closing I would be carelessly misdiagnosing my patients, come in late to surgeries, and barely wash my hands. Why try? We’re closing down.
comfortable bad guys
You never see villains in their pajamas. They are always dressed in suits no matter what time of day it is. It could be 3am at night and some mob boss is dressed in a 3-piece suit. Dude, put a onesie on. Get comfortable. Relax. Sip on some herbal tea. Could you imagine Loki in flannel pajamas? Darth Vader in a bunny onesie? Magento in tighty whitey’s? You don’t need to look like a villain 24/7. It’s okay to be vulnerable Joker. Put the business suits down.
rain or shine
Flyers need to stop putting “Rain or Shine” when referencing if the event will go on due to inclement weather. Don’t you mean rain or rain? We all know your event will go on during “shine”. No one ever canceled an event due to “shine”. “Sorry… the marathon has been canceled due to sunshine… it’s too nice out.” Get out of here. Don’t talk the talk with that “Rain or Shine” saying. I’ve been to many events that have stated “Rain or Shine” yet they canceled due to rain. I’m calling you out “Rain or Shine”.
nickname fallacy
You notice how a lot of nicknames are just words that rhyme with your name and that’s all? They have nothing to do with your personality or character. It’s just a rhyme like Dan the Man, Rob the Slob, or Harry Larry. You get the point. My nickname was Curt the Hurt. Actually, one guy called me that one time in college . If you know me that’s not a accurate nickname. I’m not inflicting pain on anyone unless it’s emotionally. The only one I’m hurting is myself. So, in a way, I am “Curt the Hurt”.
melt down
It’s nice to get out of the house once in awhile to run errands, get groceries, or window shop. I go out shopping just to increase my chances of seeing a kid meltdown. I put myself in the best situation to see a kid have a full on meltdown. It’s entertaining. Every time I go to Target there’s a 75% chance I see a whiney little kid wanting a dumb toy. Every time I go to Whole Foods there’s a 80% chance I see a meltdown because there is a kid who wants an organic Apple Juice. I love a good meltdown but most of the time it’s my kid melting down. That’s why I don’t take my kid to Target or Whole Foods.
right at home
Honestly, I like being a home body as well. You know why I like being home because it’s one of the few places I get to be right. I think a lot of people are this way. I can say whatever I want, when I went, and be completely wrong, and no one can say anything. I love being home with my thoughts. I can just be right with my own thoughts no matter how wrong I am. It’s fun. I can believe that Burger King is healthy, the Earth is flat, and that Santa is skinny. I can bark loudly and spew nonsense about any subject and win. I win every argument because no one is arguing back.
pulling back the curtains
No one wore the number 78 in the NBA so I will go off topic. Did Batman really need Robin? No, probably not. Robin seemed to just slow him down. I guess that’s why Robin was never in the new Batman movies. Now if it was Batman and Robinhood, that would be a match made in heaven. Robinhood with his bow and arrow. Man, it’s over for the bad guys.
doogie howser moment
My boss said my work will close in 90 days but this blog won’t shutdown, this blog will be written rain or shine. I should have had a meltdown like a kid at Target when I heard this news but I didn’t. I was a big boy. I wasn’t Curt the Hurt. I went home that night got comfortable, put my pajamas on, and ranted about things I knew I was wrong about, but I was at home, so I was right.
