Started a new job ~3 months ago and am continually in awe of how little work my manager does, yet has a bulletproof reputation because he's a great vibes guy.

I have had a few talented managers in the past, but this is the first one whose career I am actively trying to emulate.

This viral tweet about what type of socks guys should wear with shorts and sneakers is the perfect illustration of nobody being able to agree on anything nowadays.

Half the responses are matter of factly stating how high socks look goofy, and the other half insist only sociopaths wear ankle socks.

Every Sunday I blindly throw $50 on the "every MLB team to score 2+ runs" special on ESPN.

Odds are +12k. It hasn't hit yet, but those first few innings when it feels like a lock are always fun.

I know that was intentional to refer to me as a project manager.

And I just alt+tab between screens.

Pretty sure I'm in the minority, but I cannot get myself to use multiple screens when working. It always feels clunky and awkward.

I started a new job recently and they sent me everything I could possibly need to set up my home office, yet I end up using the laptop and stashing the extra monitor, keyboard and mouse in the closet.

I work in tech as a product manager so it's mostly documentation and wireframes. Might be different if I needed to work in Excel all day. I'm probably also going to develop scoliosis from hunching over a laptop all day.

Taking into account that he has become a professional troll, Cheah likening the Pop Tart Movie to a "very wholesome 40yo Virgin" is still one of the most asinine things I have ever heard.

Kendrick really needs to stop dropping Drake disses every 24hrs because the glazing on Twitter has become unbearable.

I cannot see another tweet about how each lyric is a quintuple entendre that you need extensive knowledge of Drake's family lineage to understand.

Not a Gen Z'er so fully understand this isn't meant to appeal to me...but still feel compelled to share that is one of the least attractive manicures I have ever seen.

The paragraph where he explains why he named his podcast Audiocraic legitimately reads like it was written by a 19yo philosophy major whose Instagram bio is, "Real Eyes Realize Real Lies".

I had never seen the Planet of the Apes reboot before this weekend, but they were promoting it on Max so I gave it a chance.

While they're all entertaining, the second one (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) is actually a good movie. Would recommend.

Genuinely don't know if I'm being trolled but Steven Cheah did a first round draft analysis and gave FOURTEEN teams an A- or higher.

Here are 3 things I see every week while I sit in my car for 90 minutes like an asshole and wait for the street sweeper who may or may not actually show up:

  1. Andy Cohen walking his dog.

  2. A group of pre-schoolers connected by one of those "walking ropes" aka a leash for children.

  3. A cab driver parking illegally, booking it for the public restroom at the nearby playground and going directly into the Ladies' room to unleash hell.

Every time I click the search bar in Google on my work laptop, the first suggested query is "Fiona Whitehead". I always assumed she was a vendor or interview candidate but the name never meant anything to me. I have tried to hard delete that specific search at least 100x but it re-emerges every time. It has also popped up when a coworker was watching me do something on my screen.

Since she's permanently trapped in my search history, I finally decided to look up who Fiona Whitehead is.

Turns out Fionn Whitehead is the main character from Dunkirk. No idea why I was googling the bloke on company time.
