I think some of the business school students have escaped their enclosure and have wandered over to my building and are sitting outside my office. The conversation is very.... no bueno.

A picture of a cartoon salmon fillet with a winking face. Her name is Kirimichan and she is wearing a cheerleading outfit and carrying pom poms. Kirimi is drawn in the style of Hello Kitty and Friends. The text below her says "As a salmon fillet, Kirimichan hopes that someone will one day appreciate how delicious she is! She awaits the day that she'll be served with all of her friends on the dinner table."

Is there a word for the type of humor Japan has where the macabre meets kawaii? Like a cute little piece of cooked salmon waiting patiently to be eaten, and by extension, death.

struggling to do the least little bit helpful thing today and that's sorta my whole job

Somehow ended up on the Discover tab and it's literally food, cats, and dogs. That's it.

Having a bank acct in the US is like having a dog that will eat your couch cushions if you don't watch it. I've had a checking acct with 5/3 for 12 years and just today they decided to start charging an $11 monthly service fee. No warning. No messages. No mailers. Just a surprise overdraft.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

A drawing of a realistic dog wearing a tie saying; "I need to lock in and prove that I am capable. I need to be taken seriously." While a drawing of a cartoon dog says; "I need to stay silly and whimsical lest I lose the very essence of myself." Perpetrating an endless cycle

Endless cycle

What I'm saying, friends, is that the bar is actually low sometimes. The formula is:
Respect² x Sweet treats + kindness - predatory behavior = Good special little guy

My sorority had a "Gamma Phi Guy" who was basically a special little guy, and it was a blast. He'd bake cookies or make rice krispie treats for us and do other things like arrange movie nights in the lounge, etc. Our flower is the pink carnation, so he'd buy each girl a flower.

Looking at student financial aid billing and becoming incredibly irate and feral. Had to literally have another student explain their bill to me because it does not make any sense from an accounting standpoint.

a bunch of cartoon characters are smiling and standing together Alt: An animated gif of a group of Snorks laughing and jumping together. A snork is an animated sea creature with large eyes and a snorkel tube coming out of the top of its head.

Co-worker: Hey, do you know The Snorks?
Me: Yeah, I'm old. Why?

A forking police cybertruck. Yes, you read that properly. A tax payer purchased metropolitan police cybertruck.

Anybody want to see the single worst vehicle of all time?

HR: May we ask why you are resigning?

Me: Because no one else in this damn office knows who Bananarama is.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

In your defense, it's awful trying to navigate this town.

I get dismissed a lot. It's like being in high school all over again. I feel like I shouldn't be experiencing this at 45, right?? Sometimes I wish I could wake up 100lbs lighter and see if they listen to me then. I'd just be interested to see if they're holding fat bias.

Co-workers do this thing where they completely ignore facts I tell them based on my experience both here and at prior institutions.
Me: Typically, it goes like this...
Them: No.
That was a fact, not an opinion. You can't say "No" to a fact ffs. You can not like it, but it's still fact.

Sir, a second bird is at the feeder

They never give you any credit for all the shit you don't start.

KOKO THE GORILLA: Koko birkin bag. Practical Koko possession bag
RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag.
KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla
RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense.
KOKO: jealousy professor

It's 9:30pm, 56F outside, completely dark, and the neighbor's dog is still outside. He's been out since at least 6pm. Barking... and barking... and barking... and barking...

Person in murder documentary: This is a small town. Things like this don’t happen here.

Me: Um, based on the shows I watch, that’s ALL that happens in small towns.

look man, we don't get many big victories, so i'm hoarding all the little ones as if they might collectively heal me.

I quickly learned to drive an extra block up/down so I can drive *through* campus intersections instead of turning because the students appear out of NOWHERE. I want them in front of me and not in my blind spot.😖

alien contact, but the trump admin thinks their demons

JD Vance on UFOs: "I don't think their aliens, I think they're demons"

HOLD. THE. FUCK. UP. OH MY GOOOOODDDDDDDDD

Me: I'm having such a great morning! I wonder how someone at work will ruin it.
~*Ten minutes later*~
Me: Ah, there it is.

Partner's co-worker in Spencer once said he was afraid he'd lose his liver to the blackmarket if he went to Indy. I'm also surprised the amount of Ellettsville people who just flat refuse to go into Btown proper for shopping or entertainment.

a woman in a purple dress is standing in front of a sign that says facts .. Alt: Gabrielle Dennis, in character on Black Lady Sketch Show, saying "Facts!"

I need to do a Black Lady Sketch Show re-watch.

teach it cursive

I want Indy to be Nashville, but deep in my heart, I know it's Atlanta.
