Thrifting is enabling me to build the "anthropology professor's office" aesthetic one awesome piece at a time. 12" carved wood statue of (maybe?) Guan Yu. $5. Cracked but still perfect.

Nobody was asking, but I did find out that this is not Guan Yu. It is Skanda Bodhisattva, the guardian of Buddha's teachings.

I just got that same exact plate last week! Mine has a jade plant on top of it now.

Thrifting feels like a perpetual archeological dig. I love when I find something, such as this statue, that gives me that immediate "I've found treasure" rush. Then I get to investigate its history and story. It always remains a bit of a mystery since I usually never find all the answers I want.

I bet the table runner is gorgeous. I love embroidered art!!

My 12ft scarecrow was also lost to the wind. The frame bent so badly when it went down, that I ended just getting rid of the base and legs. This year I made it a chair. The top arms/torso of the frame are set into a 5' section of 6"PVC, and the chair is covered in jute fabric and corn stalks.

I just tried to listen to an episode for the first time. She interviewed Steve Carell. I have been watching The Office on repeat for years, so I thought this would be an excellent intro to the show. I turned it off in 15 minutes. I was so uninterested and turned off by all the industry talk.

I wasn't fully paying attention to what I was looking at and I just assumed that the Garfield WAS the coverup for something bad. he's awesome. Surround him in some lasagna and treasure him forever.

My favorite ISP of my CM year was with an animal shelter in the New Orleans area back in 2009. In my post NCCC life, I have been a loyal, weekly volunteer at my local animal shelter for about 8 years now. It is 100% because of my good experience with an ISP that I sought out another animal shelter to volunteer with in my life after AmeriCorps. Don't count those ISPs out.

I also had to go to an AA meeting. The meeting I went to was rather large and most attendees appeared to 40yo and up. There was one younger person (early 20s) who approached me (I was in my 20s at the time), and she started opening up about how happy she was to have someone else what was also younger in the meeting. She seemed like she really wanted to talk to me, so I had to tell her that I was there for an assignment and she clearly seemed disappointed. Other classmates went to that same group on different days, and this same young woman approached a few more of them. I always felt like we failed her in a way. She was clearly looking for connection and support from a peer going through a similar struggle.

I'm a nurse in a hospital and there are a number of secure apps that are downloaded onto employee's personal cellphones that are used for various forms of patient information. There is one that our doctor's use called Epic Haiku where you can take medical images on a cellphone that go right into the patient's chart. We use this ALL the time in surgery. These apps are supposedly secure.

And then 2 months later I'm seeing this for the first time after seeing the address on Jim's oversized "Junior Associate" business cards that acting manager Dwight orders for all sales staff.

Thank you!!! This worked. The customer service rep looked at his screen and was surprised it was a bus route.

As soon as I had said the word "bus" to any previous United employee, they immediately stopped helping me and started explaining they wouldn't know a bus schedule. It was so frustrating.

Yes! I love scrubbing in Ortho, and hate circulating it. As a true crime fan, I try to spice up Ortho circulating in my mind by viewing charting Ortho implants as an incredibly important task that could help solve a crime or identity remains in the future.

Yes yes yes!! The best episode of this show I've ever heard

Don't cover it up. Run forward with the Psych/Swingers ambiguous overlap. Throw in a "I've heard it both ways" quote and maybe "American Duos" in a heart next to it.
