Gross. Those hotdogs need to be grilled first.

Are you high?

This is the way.

Oh there would be plenty of strokes, I’ll grant you that.

Does anyone else smell strawberries? 💨

Lunch. Even though I work from home, I have a standing rule to never eat in my office. Never. I always go to the kitchen or dining room, and take my time.

Good luck to you my friend.

I lived in Texas for 30 years. For the last 10-15, I heard a gun in my area - in the city, nowhere near a gun range - at least once a week, if not more.

I finally left the state of insanity and we’re much happier for it.

It sounds like there is some other sort of resentment at play here. Is there some other underlying attribute the coworkers who annoy you share? Example: Are they friends outside of work and you are not? Is it a racial or ethnic difference? Look for the reasons why they specifically “set you off” and address those biases. Try to better understand them as people first.

You say they are lazy - is it your job to police them at work? If not, then do your work and get promoted. Then you can actually do something about it. Until then, back off unless they prevent you from doing your job. Maybe when they see you are doing better than they are, maybe they’ll follow your lead.

If you want to be a leader, lead. Be the change you want to see. Take pride in yourself and your work, inspire others.

Anyway, ask yourself those questions and be honest. If you are troubled by the answers, start there.

Hope this helps

Assistant manager at a Burger King. One day, he WILL make manager. You’ll see.

There were those bars in the early 2000s with dueling pianos. Yeah, no. Definitely not those.

It’s funny you mention that. I had a blog during the W years and often posted questionable content about the administration. One day while reviewing logs, I noticed a LOT of traffic that resolved to Arlington VA. I toned it down after that, as I wasn’t keen on spooks crawling up my ass.

Self censorship is a topic that turns cold when you realize you’re making yourself a very real target.

That’s a bit like emptying the sewer into the street

Same. Luckily you can add his name to the block list.

Gotta pay for those skyrocketing AI server bills somehow

I feel you but honestly, you don’t even notice.

I hate every day - I prefer the night.

In general, people may lie to their partners but, they are lying to themselves first and foremost.

My wife laughs at me for mending clothes. I often darn socks, jeans, sweaters, etc. - takes about 10 minutes but dang, I just saved $80 on a new pair of jeans. DUH.

My jr high school made the boys take ‘home economics’ and the girls had to take shop class. We all thought it was a joke but, 40 years later, I can still sew and shank a button, fix a tear in jeans, and make a pan of muffins with the best of them.
