I cannot stress enough that I work at one of the largest, wealthiest, most prestigious universities in the world and they still won't refill the paper towels. Also all the elevator permits are years out of date.

I created a bitchy work order asking for someone to unlock it and fill the damn towels and then read all the other work orders in our building. All the work orders are like "The soap in the bathroom has been empty for three days" and "No one has emptied our biohazardous waste for two weeks." 🙄

Janitorial staff never refills our goddamn paper towels in the lab so I usually just steal the paper towel packs from the women's bathroom cabinet and do it myself. But now our paper towels are completely empty and the dispenser is LOCKED.

Perfect birthday gift to myself-- I beat Knull again and was able to unlock another host. I chose Cap this time. Just Wolverine left.

I don't think I would ever be afflicted by a Voodoo curse. Just doesn't seem like the type of thing that would happen to me.

I walked ten minutes from the lab to my car IN THE RAIN only to realize I forgot my keys at my desk. I guess I'll see my car again in twenty minutes.

I fucking hate that bit when you're traveling and half your targeted ads are still for shit back home and half are for the location where you currently are and you don't immediately know what is or isn't useful.

University bureaucracy is so cool, they finally approved my boss's request for my full time/benefits-eligible position but they are going to post it on all the job boards and make me officially submit an application for the position that was created specifically for ME.

From our rare books collection we have this illustration of Vampyroteuthis infernalis, also known as the vampire squid from hell. In an order of its own, we don't really think the vampiric moniker is fair either as they actually feed on detritus and not blood #EYAMonsters

A colour illustration of Vampyroteuthis infernalis. The main body is painted black, with eyes painted to look bioluminescent

I just saw four women squeal excitedly upon seeing a food delivery robot on the sidewalk and then start taunting it and impeding its path.

Why did my waiter just take my order by coming up to the table facing the same direction I'm facing and leaning over conspiratorially like we're sharing a secret of the utmost importance?

This venue is really pretty and well-run and has a great line-up on the books. I'd probably really love to come back here if it wasn't in San Diego.

Every motel in Southern California is run by the most put-upon South Asian man in the world and these men are the backbone of America.

He still showed up to my coworker's baby shower today anyway. Everyone spent the entire time asking where the fuck he went and why he didn't tell anyone. He ate a ton of food and got a ton of attention. Extremely fucking funny of him, I love it.

My coworker's last day was Tuesday. VERY sudden, he was only with us for a year. He did not tell anyone. Just quietly cleaned up his bench and left. Only the people who worked closely with him were told (and me because I made the lab chore schedule and then was told to revise it to take him off).

My coworker and her community college intern are having so much fun and the nostalgia is killing me. The intern got sad she didn't know about the baby shower because she's going to a concert tonight and can't make it. She's sad she didn't get to bring the unborn baby any toys.
