It was recently determined at work that I don’t have an “RBF,” I have an “ABF”—an Active B*tch Face. If you’re getting an angry look from me, it’s definitely on purpose.

Do you ever look at a patient’s X-rays & think wow I hope my knee looks that good when I’m 80 but you know deep down—like, deep down in between your cruciates—that it already doesn’t look that good & you’re not close to 80?

When your bathroom contractor insists on using sandy instead of smooth because of the size of the tile gap, that's giving them the benefit of the grout.
When you assume your dog is right and that there really is food under the couch you can’t see, that’s giving him the benefit of the snout

That other place is getting to be like fax machines—
- we all wonder why we’re using it
- it’s frustrating most of the time
- pretty soon kids won’t know what it is
- we’re still inexplicably bound to it
But very happy to be here as well. I look forward to continuing my inane anon’ing here!
