I’d use those Energels, but I don’t like the grip, and they’re too lightweight. I may have to try again though, because you’re absolutely right. The Pilot ink doesn’t seem like it EVER dries.

I’m 100% for a paperless office, but at the same time, I feel like sometimes you need to write things with your hands. To that end I like to have a nice, weighty .5mm mechanical pencil available (and I can doodle with them just fine). Same goes for pens. I like the Pilot G05 gel things.

Thank you. I was too busy looking at the pictures and trying to figure out when I can buy these to, y’know, read.

Ugh... That’s an okay list for people who only buy games at Target 3 years ago (before they started carrying some of the awesome games that you’d have to go to nerdy game stores to find). And, aside from Monopoly, anyone can make any list in any order they like, and I’m really not going to rag on you for that.

Yes, but when?! WHEN?!

I recently donated 18 inches of hair. Still had enough left to not look fully shaven. Wifey didn’t like the long hair AT ALL, and would appreciate if I only made the one donation, much as she loves kids.

I can do the Hacker-Pschorr all year long, really. I’m a pilsner and IPA guy most days, but dammit if HP doesn’t do an excellent daily drinker in their Oktoberfest. I’ve also been steadily draining Sierra-Nevada’s Oktoberfests all season long. I’m also pretty much going to be pushing frequent trips to Olde…

I destress when I work out. If I go too long without working out the extra stress of not having been active does tend to overshadow my other stresses. If it’s been more than five days since I’ve broken a good sweat, odds are I’m tense as hell. I’m not in shape, and I don’t tend to feel shame for not working out,…

My stomach. That thing can hold ANYTHING! And it seems to have infinite room. Nothing ever goes bad in there, either. Except chili..

Title should be “Five reminders and Two Tips to Stop Checking Your Phone All the Time”. Seriously, you can’t call “don’t to it” a tip or trick.

I’d buy the Bosch for sure if I didn’t already have an excellent drill. Bosch makes good stuff. The DeWalt set, however, I wouldn’t buy. Black & Decker bought them eight or so years ago and their internals have been crap ever since.

Audio Technica ATH-ANC9's with active noise cancelling off.
Binaural test made me look around even though I just read what would happen. I seriously wanted to know who was messing with me and got paranoid.

It goes both ways. Small talk enforcers are insufferable.

I’ve had the opportunity to turn down a few positions. I always basically said thanks for your time, this came down to money, location, and in some cases corporate environment. I’ll take a small pay cut if I can wear jeans.

I grew up around a paper recycling plant. They smell weird for sure, but it’s not enough for me to turn down a good job. Now a hog/fowl farm, that’s different.

I should clarify.

So is it better than that crap my wife insists on buying from Aldi? 3 buck Chuck?

I’ve been with WF for 16 years. Long enough to have a checking account that earns (almost no) interest and no fees on any extras. After all the BS they’ve been pulling I’ve been looking for solid alternatives, but nobody can come close.

I’m okay with this. I don’t “owe” anyone small talk and shouldn’t be treated as such.

I like my job. I’ll talk about it borderline anonymously online. But in general my mind is completely partitioned off from life and “job” time. The barrier exists at the door to the parking lot.
