Why are we paying attention to that boy? Zygote needs to sit down, smile, and then go kick his little ball.

But you can’t tell me that Benedictine College did not know EXACTLY what they were doing when they tapped him for commencement.

I wonder if the ppl who attend rally after rally like they’re following the Dead or something, I wonder if they notice the difference, the decline 🤔

Co-worker barges into my office and sits, just to tell me how many minutes their parent’s flight was delayed (40 if you care to know). When they leave I (politely) say “see ya”.

Humble pie : coworkers do a lunch walk & I’ve joined them last 2 days— now I’m questioning my life’s choices. They practically run, don’t sweat & don’t get taxed. Meanwhile I drip, pant & turn red. I go to the gym 3xW, cardio, weights, going on 2yrs now! 😭

#CorpLife - went to get ☕️ and found a coworker demonstrating the new bindcomb machine for others. They cheered like it was a magic act and I have never felt so old.

I’m a terrible person but this coworker telling me *everything* about their family’s death watch (waiting at my office door if I step out!) All week long, every detail, funeral arrangements. I’m an anxious mess! They finally passed & I am relieved & I am a terrible person, please leave me a

Nosy coworker: How was your weekend? Wha’d u do? You didn’t go out? Why? Did you watch the superbowl? Your pants have a seam! It smells like coconut! Is it your water? Is it that other thing on your desk? What’s that? Medicine? What for? What’s it called? So you won’t try ginger lemon tea?
