The kind of crappy boss whose awfulness inspires wonderful things like this is also the kind of garbage person who’ll rush to take full credit for them.

My wife’s grandmother had one that said “Fuck the golden years” hanging in house at least as far back as the 90s.

I thought the headline said “snarky cross-stitch game”, and was thinking of something like a tetris-style game where you try to match lines of the cross-stitch.

For a misreading, that actually doesn’t sound totally half-baked… But I’m not rushing out to write it.

I wish I had thought of this each and every time I had a crappy boss. I developed a deep devotion to wine, instead.

My mom used to say this, often… nearly every day, toward the end of her life.

I am beginning to see her point.
