Guy sent me a condescending email at because he didn’t like the answer I gave him, telling me “don’t he silly.”
Tempted to reply and let him know my mother was a clown so I am genetically silly and cannot help it.

The funny thing about how teenage me was petrified I would get old and boring is that I just had the thought “I could skip the play and go home and pickle some vegetables” and I never would have known that pickling the vegetables was a thing I would genuinely look forward to.

I feel like I just leveled up in Minnesotan. They called a snow emergency so cars have to be off night plow roads by 9 pm. So I moved my car then took the bus where I wanted to go.

How do all these people in TV shows always have an “old fishing shack” that is a fully functional place to live, in addition to their regular house, when I can only dream of purchasing a condo someday?

I’ve been watching tv on Tubi because it’s free, and the advertising is dominated by ads for gambling games. Some of them are almost promising you’ll make money.
Sometimes it’s overwhelming how much of our so-called economy is based on scamming people who don’t have much to start with.

I just googled “dumpster fire gifts” so that’s how work is going. But luckily I really like my coworkers so we are in the flaming dumpsters together with our little thimbles of water and eventually we will put it out.

So embarrassed. I had to ask my younger coworker to combine two PDFs for me like a boomer, because I don’t have a license yet.

I moved to Minnesota with ATT for my cell phone, but there are huge dead spots in the twin cities including my apartment. I can’t call people from home because for a several block radius around my building I get no signal.
Any suggestions of what cell phone company works in Saint Paul/Minneapolis?

So the republicans snuck a bit into the bill to reopen the gov that limits hemp product which will override my state and other state’s laws. Because apparently everyone has to experience the horrors fully sober.

Before I never think about the “did women ruin the workplace” nonsense ever again, I just wanted to throw back to 6 months ago when a man was so upset at interviewing with a panel of 3 women and not getting the job that he sent me a slew of emails calling us the bimbo brigade.

Because I am a lady on a budget, I’m currently watching shows for free on Tubi. I’ve been looking for a new sci-fi/fantasy show and started watching Haven and it’s filling that weird case of the week niche, a la Eureka. And there are 5 seasons so it’ll tide me over for a bit.

“Did Women Ruin the Workplace” (later changed from Women to Liberal Feminism because I guess it was too obvious otherwise) is a headline that says a workplace is for the men and how dare these shrews come in and make it less fun to do guy stuff there.
