1. When I'm reading a work memo or newsletter that has been sent to numerous individuals, and they've used the wrong version of "your". Likewise, when they have clearly forgotten to use a spell checker. Bonus points when it creates a sense of suspicion or ambiguity in the sentence, such as, "Stop by the break room at 1:00 pm today. We're going to be having "sushi" for lunch."
"Sushi." No thanks,...

That one Time that I was Jack Nicholson
Do any of you recall the 70’s classic, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest? Well, I was THAT Jack Nicholson – only I was never a criminal. I couldn’t be a
criminal if I tried. One time, as a kid, I thought about what it would be like
to take a Butterfingers from the grocery store without asking, and...

I Can Computer, too
The daily drudgery of customer service can make you feel old
before your time, but occasionally, you’re offered one of these rare gems that

Stranger Things
You thought this was about the Netflix original t.v. series,
didn’t you? Don’t lie, I know it’s true.

I'm Chubby, and You're Chubby Too
While working at a temp agency a year or so ago, I came
across the most glamorous of temporary job opportunities. It had everything I had

any moment? Check (I liked living on the edge). An...

Uh-oh, they've spotted...

The Boy who Loved my Shoes too Much, or The Boy who fell in Love with my Feet
This is the story about the boy that loved my shoes too much.
Around this time six years ago, when I was still a naïve,
shy, blushing eighteen-year-old college student (do not mock me, sir!), I
bravely departed the place of my childhood and struck out on my own, going

and you’ve just stepped out onto your front porch to breathe in the delightful
