You should check out The Carmichael Show if you haven't.

 

Roseanne, golden girls and George Lopez show were basically all my life lessons as a kid/teen.

 

My nephew thinks he's playing lol. He tried mario kart earlier. It was pretty adorable.

 

I remember as a teenager giving my little cousins a controller and pretending they were playing but the controller wasn't hooked in.

It was great.

 

Friday we had my birthday dinner and we got sushi and my mom paid except it was more expensive than she thought and I could tell she was internally freaking out. But then to make up for it she tried taking back the birthday money her mother had given me because she didnt realize I'd opened it yet and she was trying to do it subtly except she wasnt subtle and it was one of the most awkward things ever lol. She was like "I wasn't gonna take back all of it" and I'm like ummmmmmmm. Plus my dinner was the cheapest so it wasn't my fault! She kept saying she didn't want me to feel guilty for spending so much but like when u try taking back a gift and nearly cry at the bill of course I feel guilty. It was a weird day. It's always a weird day where I'm reminded that a lot of my family doesn't know me at all and i have to tiptoe around everyone else and next year I'd rather do nothing.

 

I was watching masters of none and the show just taught me that the "word" Thot is actually an acronym.

I'm legitimately shocked that I just learned that was a thing. I always assumed it was just a new word that the rap community made up.

 

Technically, I guess. But no one uses it like that. Reminds me of when people said "bae" meant "before anything else" when it didn't really work

 

now you gotta remind me that was a thing also

 

im emotional

 

I hate when I'm in public and I hear people talk about music while saying things that are factually wrong because I really want to butt in lol

 

i was having a terrible day at work but I got a text from my favorite person when i got off and one direction was playing on the radio and I was like "maybe today isn't super bad at all"

 

Ok taking care of your body is overrated. It's too much work. What is this nonsense? I have to do a skincare routine twice a day + sunblock so I don't get skin cancer and/or age like a raisin, and then I have to do a whole toothbrushing routine so my teeth don't rot out of my skull and then I have to exercise cause I don't want my body to like waste away and then I have to like allegedly eat fairly healthy to not die and it's like since when did being a human being require so much work??? Can't I just live?? The answer is "no" because everything kills you tbh!!!!!

 

I don't get why people go to lunch with their co-workers, like do you really enjoy being around these people more than having a treasured hour of peace and quiet

 

Apparently the higher-ups started taking 1 person from my section to lunch per month. I'm the person tomorrow. I was like, god damnit. Free lunch is cool, but i'd honestly rather pay and go without them

 

And it's not like you really reap and feel the benefits minus smelling good which is crucial and I guess not feeling awful but that's debatable

 

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. My co-workers think I'm weird because I spend my lunch in my car reading.

 

I wish I got a treasured hour!! I get half an hour and I eat at my desk lol. I'm that person cause some ppl panic when I leave so meh. I typically only agree when certain coworkers ask me to lunch, but that's usually driving together to pick something up and then rushing back to work because the half hour is pretty much gone.

 

Yeah, I only get a half hour so I never can go anywhere for lunch.

Meanwhile my boss and a couple others get to take super long lunches all the time

 

I get 30 minute lunches and I try and stay away from all my co-workers unless they happen to be in the breakroom with me.

 

I don't technically get a break so I just shove food in my mouth while working and try not to choke or spill anything on my laptop.

 

I'm always insecure about my nose but I'm watching what not to wear and Stacy London doesn't have the Hollywood tiny button nose and she's goooooorgeous so it's making me feel better.

Also it's a fave show but I haven't watched it in a while and the weird gender norm stuff in it has not aged well. I just want to be Stacy tho.

 

Omg this lady on what not to wear is wild. I think Clinton and Stacy are going to smack her. She's so rude and angry and it's so awkward. And the episode has barely started. They haven't even put her in the 360 mirror or thrown her clothes in the trash yet

 

So I just moved into a new house two days ago and I still haven't come to terms with it. It cut my work commute down to six minutes. On top of that, my room actually has a walk out balcony. Still wrapping my head around that fact.

 

Lol, I just got off the phone with a T-Mobile representative and, oh my god, I felt like I was talking to a robot the whole time. I understand customer service and how important it is, but I'd much rather talk to someone who actually sounds like a human than someone who sounds like they have a gun to their head that will go off if they aren't smiling all the time and 100% cheerful. It was weird.
