Not a bad list — but one I’d add is a movie I was super-hyped for after seeing the trailer. Needless to say, it didn’t meet expectations. Still, Mick Jagger chewing up the scenery has its own sort of charm.

This article is good timing, as I’m applying for a ton of jobs right now. However, though I’d love to have that dilemma of juggling multiple offers, at this point, I’d be happy with just one. Times are tough.

I’ve listened to a lot of loud music in my life, so I’m sure there’s some minor hearing loss. (Those mosquito sound tests I’ve done usually confirm this, lol.)

Fixed that headline for you.

Yes! This bothers me, as well — and yet, it’s hard to find someone else who is similarly irked by this, so it’s nice to find a kindred spirit. ;-)

If you “try and”, to me that sort of implies that first you tried, and then you accomplished/finished what you tried. In other words, “try and get in shape” comes across as …

That one’s always tricky, because that question is often synonymous with “May I?” The answer to the latter would be “yes”, but to “Do you mind?” technically it would be “no”. However, answering in the negative can confuse the asker: “No, you don’t want me to do that, or no, it’s okay for me to do that?” So whenever…

Technically, you may have a point — but I’d venture that even most people who would never make any of the mistakes in the above slideshow aren’t aware of that pronunciation, so if you say it like “fort”, you’ll be perceived as being wrong. Or at the very least, they just won’t understand what you said... “Not your…

The studies actually showed that regular consumer-type masks do offer greater protection than no mask at all, though maybe only by a few percentage points. (The N95 mask worn by health care workers offers far more protection to the wearer, of course.) The more significant benefit to you is that with more people…

Yeah, I don’t get the constant need to update the UI. For my money, Windows 7 was (hell, still is) the perfect interface. Everything works splendidly, things are easy to get to, you can customize it without having to install multiple 3rd-party programs, it’s very safe, very stable, and you don’t have stupid stuff…

I think a lot of the resistance comes from the fact that often, two people who do the same (or very similar) jobs in the same company, do not make the same amount of money. This can cause a lot of friction.

I was quite excited about this show after seeing the sneak previews. Now, having watched the first two episodes, I’m very much on the fence about it. There’s just not enough interesting things going on to keep me hooked. So far it’s pretty much just wacky hijinx, but I can get (better-written) sitcom-style humor in…

The Comedy Central TV show Corporate had a hilarious episode on this general idea, except with email. When the exclamation point on Matt’s computer keyboard stops working and he’s forced to use periods instead, all hell breaks loose with his superiors.

Not sure where I first picked this up, but for me the best martini involves putting the ice in the shaker, pouring some vermouth in with it and shaking it so a little coats the inside and the ice cubes, then pouring out the vermouth through the strainer. Then you pour in and shake the gin. While that sits, you take…

Being an introvert during this thing is a blessing, I guess, since I don’t really care all that much about missing out on social events. Not being able to travel for vacations and such is a disappointment, but I can deal with that for the time being, as well.

It’s also a really bad idea to wash fruits and veggies with soap, as ingesting soap can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

TL;DR answer: “Nothing.”

What a weird thing to decide to write 200 words about!

I realize this comment isn’t really within the confines of what the article is talking about, but as a side note on a comment in your 2nd-to-last paragraph, I am currently working for a company in an area of the country known for its “technical politeness”. One thing that happens multiple times on a daily basis, is…

Figure out how to increase your income. Get a job if you don’t have one; get a side hustle if you do.

Yes, let’s all be up in arms about this because never before has a prank show set up people on their first day on a new job that turned out not to be real. Oh wait, that actually happened all the time on Candid Camera...
