Oh god I feel this. My wife is a teacher and has gotten sick a few times since she started working. I’ve gotten some gnarly sinus stuff from her thanks to her students
When you're buttoning one button on button-fly jeans and the motion unbuttons the button underneath it and you gotta start all over.
When a podcast I listen to abruptly stops publishing without explanation. I don’t even wanna know exactly why; it’d just be nice to have a short update saying, “Hey FYI we decided to end the show,” or, “We plan to take a break for a few months”
Ended up signing up for an HSA this year because the other plan through my work was going to more than double. Living in America is neat
I opted out in 2025 for the HSA because I used it ineffectively in 2024. Now that I've opted back in for '26, there seems to be some sort of glitch. Waiting to hear back from HR to see if it's a them problem or Fidelity problem. I really want to avoid calling Fidelity if I can haha
Was supposed to leave to go eat dinner with my mom 45 mins ago but the city is working on something and has all their equipment in my driveway so I can’t leave. Go home already, I’m hungry!!! Update: they now are further blocking me in with a truck ughhh
False alarm. We're all good with my HSA. My bank just posts my paycheck a day early because it's "trusted", but I don't officially get paid on paper until Friday. So my HSA funds hit that account this morning. I know you all were losing sleep over that.
the fact that essentially every YouTube video now has two ads, at the beginning, middle, and end if you're dumb enough to stick around for it. I see this as only the beginning for an absolute inundation of ads in all our media. I wouldn't even be kind of surprised if we're having to sit through as much as five ads in the coming years. hell, that might even be light for what's coming down the pipeline
When your song is next in the queue on touch tunes and someone pays to fast track to skip over your song with a shittier song.
The nonprofit where I volunteer doesn't often sell furniture but we do very rarely and its always cool good quality furniture. Today we are advertising a set of stools for sale from a very well-known expensive brand at a heavy discount. They are priced and on the floor to sell. I said that I wanted to purchase them and I was told that one of the paid employees is considering buying them and just needs to measure stuff at home over the weekend. They are not actually here today. Like what?? They are out on the sales floor. If a random customer came up and wanted to buy them right now we would sell them to that customer. I am here right now saying I want to purchase them. You snooze you lose. It's so dumb. Why do they get to call dibs when we are advertising them for sale?
Honestly I hope a customer does buy them just so she doesn't get them. I don't even care if I don't get them in the process so long as she doesn't because that's how petty I am
When people are comparing cats vs dogs, and dog people try to say earnestly "well dogs have jobs and serve humanity in practical ways as guards and scent detectors. Cats don't" Excuse me cats have been human's best natural pest control for thousands of years. Some researchers now think cats helped end the spread of the Black Death.
Yeah the humane societies near us have entire sections on their websites for “adopt a working cat”! Haha
Yeah I read some rural SPCAs have programs to give the more feral rescue cats that can't go in homes to farms to work as barn cats.
Cats are the best. I saw a post online saying they're the best pet to teach your kid consent and I think that's a good point lol
