Rang in the New Year at home with my wife. Between encountering waaaaaaaay too many idiots on the road on New Years and the snow, I'm not one for going out on New Years Eve.

I don't get why people try to romanticize overworking themselves to a future mental breakdown/burnout.
Have I worked overtime/on weekends? Yes, but it's the exception to the norm and only in situations where there was an urgent issue.
We have to enforce our own healthy work/life balances.

girl shut the fuck up, millennials didn't say that shit

Today I learned that comedy traffic school is a thing.
Part of me wants to try it for the experience, the other part of me wonders what the balance between factual info and comedy is.
(and no, I didn't learn about this the hard way)

In talking with my wife, apparently I was more oblivious to signs people liked me. The following is a list of times that totally obvious signs went completely over my head.
In a text: "Hey baby, gonna go take a shower... (Five minutes later) oops that was for my boyfriend!"

Having a fun time trying to get my phone fixed. Long story short, volume button stopped working entirely. My phone is under warranty and I also have insurance for any repairs outside of the warranty coverage.
Walk into the repair store... and they refuse to even LOOK at my phone... /1

Did you know that cats practice socialism? It's true!
They catch mice and then redistribute them to the one percent of the household who didn’t lift a paw. And like any good socialist program, they also make sure everyone gets something unwanted, like a dead mouse on your pillow at 3 a.m.

I got an email solicitation to apply for a job in fuel management.
I'd like to note I haven't ever worked on fuel management or something even close to it... the closest may be retail nearly 16 years ago, or computer systems?

I have Telegram and WhatsApp installed on my phone as honeypots to get as many scammers to text me so I can waste their time.
Apparently these scammers never talk to each other, because I keep trolling them and they still keep messaging me.

Found out that a teacher who was a dickhead to me (and half my class) back in high school retired.
Is playing "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen too petty? Maybe. But he totally deserves the song.

Unless the next sentence about this is "and now I'm going to be helping Chris Hansen catch perverts!", this is not something to brag about.

Protip: if you're a company offering a service where people have to call you to get an estimate, it's a good idea to not have a full voicemail box.
And this is why a company is likely not going to get money from me.
