Love kicking off the workday with an office-wide phone and internet outage. Wakes you up better than coffee.

I want to post something clever but I can't think of anything. Do me a solid and pretend I said something witty, ok?

This morning I forgot to take off my glasses before getting into the shower and when the lenses fogged up I thought I was going blind.
The day has not gone uphill from there.

I once threw my back out while pooping. At work. I had to go home because of it.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Mmm the Montreal steak seasoning sandwich, a struggle meal so depressing I don't tell my wife it's still one of my comfort foods.

Not trusting this lull we're having at work. Most days I haven't even had a chance to start drinking my coffee by now, and today I've already finished it.

This has turned out to be a RECURRING nightmare, which has been fun.
Really would have been great to get a good night's sleep last night. Shame about the prolonged nightmare about having giant worms in my blood.

Can't see a Tesla without thinking of the time I saw a guy go past my house with his car on autopilot, fully cranking his hog. Just beating that thing like he caught it fucking his wife.
Driving a Tesla? I'm assuming you're masturbating.

I just thought, while scooping olives into a bowl "Man, what if a fruit was savory?"
Then I realized oh right, avocado.
God I'm dumb.

The flu needs a rebrand. I propose instead of saying "influenza A or B" we say "flua" and "flub," pronounced the way they're spelled.

There's one person I love working with because she'll ask me to do some totally mundane clerical task and acts like I'm some kind of wizard when I do it quickly and without difficulty.
