Is this the definition of adding insult to literal injury?

Anyway, I’m sorry you’re feeling terrible but glad the worst is behind you. Sounds rough!

If you want to know how old I am, I referenced ChiChi’s, Mr Holland’s Opus, and Ghostbusters in the same meeting.

Today’s another day where I lament they did not offer us Excel training in library school.

Everything I know how to do I learned from Google and calling my sister in a panic.

I, generally, try to stay away from self help books. 99.9% of them irritate me.

Ok I apparently have tiny ear holes and can’t really use ear buds well and have lost them the few attempts I have used the while sleeping. How do the stay in??

I’m using ones like this these days.

I, too, am interested. I kill mine off about every 6 mo the so always on the look out for a better option.

The sequel was equally as dumb.

I’m good. I no longer need to read anything else by this author.

I fell for the hype. That’ll learn me.

Saw Silence of the Lamb in the theater and when they say Buffalo Bill is in Calumet City, the audience gasped loudly as that’s just across the border from where we were at the time.

I’m glad I’m not alone! We went a few summers ago and I hated it. I think it’s fun looking in short clips. But the whole experience was way overstimulating to me.

I've never received more than 3% ever. In any of my jobs in any of my fields.

Many years ago, I overheard on the L someone reference a 40% raise and the young woman was wondering if that was normal. Ma'am, I've gotten no increase many times. a .5% increase allows me bubble gum this month.

Are people just really excited to stop thinking and have something else do the work for them?

I’ve seen enough hallucinations in ILL from AI that I’m good for a while.

Me finishing a book I had LOTS of issues with: this book was dumb. Super dumb.

Also me: of course I will be reading the sequel.

The air in my car broke this week and it was feeling extra soupy.

It’s no joke.

I created maybe one of my favorite named instructional pages - β€œhow to clear a zombie request”.

A very real and very funny-named thing in my world.

I know it’s a portmanteau, but ex-annial sounds dumb.

We don’t say ex-ander for Xander.

You know how I know I have a good mechanic? Overheard him discussing another customer’s issue and he said β€œI don’t want you to waste money”.

This place and this specific guy reminds me so much of my dad who was also a mechanic. πŸ’—

This week has been exhausting. But today has been particularly awful.

I’m currently reading it and it took me quite awhile to buy into the romance.

Oof. I am so sorry. Dealing with the abuse is tough enough. But dealing with a declining parent on top of that has to be exhausting.

Not a fan.

Still somehow accidentally ended up at the Big Lebowski bar/restaurant in Reykjavik. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

It was a pretty good soccer (football) bar, though.
