You’re not truly obsessed until you’ve printed a label for your label maker that says “Label Maker”.

Two words: pipe cleaners.

Thanks, this will be really handy the next time I need to mansplain childbirth.

It’s also not exclusive to the public sector. In any large company, middle managers eye the approach of the end of the year and figure out how to spend their whole budget so they don’t get a smaller budget next year.

Best tip I ever got: gate agents have a lot of discretion (except for a few really shitty airlines...). And they are far more likely to use that discretion on behalf of people who are polite and patient rather than people who act as though they are entitled to an exit row window seat. A little courtesy goes a very…

If somebody wants to fix it up, the Haynes manual might be useful:

Could you please stop writing headlines that begin “You probably don’t need...”? You’re killing my bank account.

This kind of thing is why about one third of our healthcare budget gets burned up in administrative costs. There are too many parties, billing each other amounts that change bafflingly for the same service depending on who is charging and who is paying. And too many of the steps involve manual data entry and…

Honestly, I’m more disturbed by Trump trying to associate himself with “open hearts”, “faith”, or “love” than his latest dumbass verbal diarrhea.

If male Republican legislators could get pregnant, on-demand abortion clinics would be more common than Starbucks.

Is the answer “shitfaced”? Please tell me it is.

Annoying looping videos? I’m so glad Gawker doesn’t do that

I’m fifty-something and I’ve ordered off the kids menu before, especially in diners. I’ll also order off the senior’s menu even though I’m not old enough. I always ask politely first, mind you. At my age I’m just not that hungry a lot of the time, and I hate to order food that I know is going to go to waste.

I just ordered and it rang up at $6.99 with the code, $7 off. I don’t know if Amazon made a mistake and this will revert shortly, so order while you can!

I always check the obits first thing in the morning.

The inverse works too: I schedule all my meetings at work to start 10 minutes after the hour. Everybody else’s meetings finish on the hour, they always overrun, and the people who are prompt have to wait. This way, people can overrun a little, wrap up with less anxiety, maybe even get in a bio break, and still be on…

Google Translate on the phone sounds tremendously useful; Home Hub, not so much. I can see the point in a hotel lobby, but when was the last time you had a visitor in your own home that you didn’t share a language with?

I do this at the Italian place I take my son to every Wednesday night. (If you met my son you’d understand that I mean Every. Single. Wednesday. Night. And yes, he always orders exactly the same pizza every time. Some of you know what I’m talking about). We sit at the bar, we eat half the pizza, we take the rest home,…
