My words have always been my best asset, but lately I’ve been feeling that the things I say just seem to vanish from existence after they’re said, leaving no impact on the world beyond my memory of having said them.

I’m hitting “Like” ten times, but it only seems to be working once.

My wife can’t stand the fact that the liquor store in our neighborhood never gives you the penny they owe you for all their $X.99-priced items (yes, single X, who are we, the Rockefellers?). To her, it’s not that they’re not giving her the change, but she feels that if you want to take advantage of the psychological trick of $X.99 pricing, you should have to play it all the way through.

My corner liquor/convenience store does something similar, if the change due is around 5 cents or less they just won’t offer it, but I don’t mind because they also are flexible the other way, if you’re a few cents short they’ll just wave you away while you’re digging in your pockets. So I figure it all evens out. But yeah on principle I agree with your wife, you shouldn’t get to play both sides.

While I do have “direct reports” and that makes me a “manager” my title still say Principal IT ARCHITECT…do not ask me to forecast time and other managerial noise when I have technical architecting to do that is woefully behind schedule…(Probably due to lack of proper forecasting…but it is still NOISE)

Oh, I definitely have a sweet tooth, I just don’t like sweet tea. 
The worst part is that I quit drinking soda a few years back (I used to have a pretty significant Dr. Pepper habbit) becasue of the all the sugar, and now they’re trying to put sugar into the very thing I use to avoid all the other sugar in the first place. It’s maddening.

Brilliant! I will have to try that. I’ve always suspected that at least part of the problem is that sweetened and unsweetened are practically the same word.

I hope word meanings don’t shift with Sweetened and Unsweetened…

The word flammable was created because people thought inflammable meant not inflammable.

Okay, I know a majority already knows how this feels, but plucking hair hurts. My eyebrows are mostly used to it, but… There are gonna be tears tonight.
