Keeping a journal like this even if you’re not looking for a raise seems like a good idea. Ever have those days where you know you haven’t slacked off but you struggle to answer the question “so what did you do today at work?” Ugh.

Public speaking is part of my full time job, so I would also add to this list:

4. Unless you’re famous, most people are there for reasons other than you, and so they have no expectations. This is a great opportunity to gain reputation and teach someone something unexpected.

white chocolate is just cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids

I’ve often heard those referred to a narrow or diamond push-ups. They shift more of the work to your tricepts and are definitely harder (at least for me) than push-ups with a wider hand and arm placement.

Personally, I think there are a bunch of different ways you can do push-ups, none of them being “right” (although…

I remember when I was younger, and it was “cool” to hold your piss when drinking at a party, because manliness and all. Also, it saved your spot when talking to a girl at the bar, in fear of losing her to another potential suitor. Now, incontinence rears its ugly head. Gotta pee just a little? Too bad, you just did,…

Alternatively, put your little ones to work in the mines or the quarries to teach them self-sufficiency. Bonus: you’ll get their wages to spend on frivolous purchases like a jolly parasol!

My grandma’s hydroponic setup was the worst power drain in our house. But then that stopped. And she had to go away for a while.

I remember distinctly buying and turning on my Nintendo 64 for the first time. I plopped a cartridge in it and played Goldeneye, no setup required.

Hey Albert have you considered just being a whiny internet nerd instead of a (two-time certified) sex-haver? Because then this stuff wouldn’t bother you, apparently.

I’M OFFENDED BECAUSE YOU INSULTED A MACHINE I LIKE. TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MY COPIER.

This is, like most other such claims, baloney. People say “no” in different ways, especially when they know you are questioning them. And if you ask leading questions, any answer you receive might come after a long pause, and with a different tone than usual. These myths are irksome.

I don’t normally condone lying to your significant other, but you enjoy the heck out of that Nutella.

Thanks for telling me how to say no to my girlfriend when she asks me whether or not I stole her nutella jar

I have discovered that I can overcome the sentimentality aspect if I take a picture of things I am discarding before I toss them. I put those photos in a folder on my backup drive, and it makes parting with the actual object easier. I remember reading somewhere that sentimental people worry that they will forget…

I was single and lived alone for a long time. I met someone who was single and had lived alone for a long time, too. One of the things we understood was the need for alone time. A lot of it. We have a relationship that apparently looks really strange from the outside (we do a lot of things separately, and I’ve gotten…

Or even better option, replace tomatoes with bacon.

Mostly because it's really hard to take myself serious as a writer if I start writing about dicks 'n balls 'n taints

STOP YOU WENT TOO LONG

Is there a recommended length of time that I should be pressing? The tip is starting to change color.

@GetOutOfBox: Hmm. For some people this is actually a disorder. INTJ's are notorious for being grammar nazis and for having bad OCD. So maybe the people do have superior intellect?
