Other than the lousy battery life, I’m quite happy with my iPhone SE. Love smaller phones.

One hand giveth, the other taketh away.

Powerline over Ethernet for devices like desktops, gaming consoles, etc.

I was on vacation at a resort outside of Puerto Vallarta and out of curiosity I rode the bus into town for a day. It was Good Friday and I was able to watch the procession of the faithful through the streets of the city into the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was perhaps the most memorable thing about my trip.

The Sikh temple near my house is really beautiful and I would love to see the interior. I just may pay it a visit.

I’m making steady progress on paying down $6k in credit card debt by forgoing most non-food purchases and learning to repair clothing rather than replace it. Life without money is pretty boring now, but I have a stack of free books to keep me busy and I walk a mile in the park after work.

They apparently have plenty of time to occupy EV charging stations while waiting for their Disability checks to arrive.

My mom gave my 1970s Legos to my neighbor to give to her preschool-aged son. When my son was born, that same neighbor returned my old Legos. I was happier than my kid to have them back.

I advised my teenage child if he wants to curry favor with the cool kids AND his parents, he should stand around and pretend he is puffing on a flash drive. Resembles like a vaping device without the health problems.

The time it takes to cash checks at my local bank has definitely increased in recent years. The tellers stare at their computer screen, ask me for ID even though I’ve had an account at the bank since 1996 and only after a manager comes over and stares at the screen do I get the money for my crappy $14/hour p/t job.

Ugh I work for a boss who is like that. She would rather have everyone physically in the office, even if it means spending the day commenting on Kinja. The minute we step out of the office, we are looked at suspiciously as slackers.

I always took Homer Simpson’s advice:

That may be good money in flyover country but it wouldn’t cover rent or mortgage/property taxes in many coastal metro areas unless you live off of ramen and Dollar Tree burritos and raid the employee lounge fridge. ASK ME HOW I KNOW.

“Our family is also pretty well-off” really, really helps people do what they love instead of do what they need to live.

Nine entire HOURS! Worth at least $1500 per registrant.

Or they get a useless liberal arts degree that will only help you win a game of Trivial Pursuit before you surrender to reality and take the LSATs.

I have no idea how to monetize a career being a snarky Kinja commentator at this stage of my life. Until them, I am stuck in a soul-crushing office job that pays the bills but sucks the joy out of me.

canned Tuna costs a fortune nowadays. 

Any advice for dealing with self-doubt following the success of a colleague? I am genuinely happy when a coworker or peer receives accolades or a promotion but instead of holding any ill feelings toward them, I beat myself up and wonder what I did wrong. It’s getting to the point where I spend all days commenting on…
