The three day weekend has me feeling rested, rejuvenated, and it inspired a new-found hatred for my job

Why is this me

I need to close all the job application tabs before sharing my screen on Zoom

Bah, Valentine's day, how fun.

I want to go home

Shower thoughts are a real hit or miss. Either they're horrifically funny, or terribly scary. I'd like to think that the best ones are a bit of both. The most genius thoughts we have in life don't come to us when we're stressing at work… no, they come to us when we're singing U2 at the top of our lungs whilst pretending to play the guitar, warm water gushing over our heads like a waterfall. Someone in the next room may or may not be yelling at us, demanding that we shut up. In other words, good…

The service industry is pretty volatile, as the environment is not exactly a professional one. If you've never had a job in this line of work, let me tell you, you are not missing out. What goes on behind the scenes ain't pretty. For some weird reason, managers in restaurants generally seem to be on some power trip. Their ego quickly outgrows their head, leading to repetitive conflict. u/Dio_bean took to Reddit, sharing his own experience with a terrible manager who instructed him to do a ‘deep…

Are you ‘with the times', or are you a Boomer? It's kind of a given that generational differences are going to spark heated debates. Boomers hate Gen X who hate Millennials. But who do these three generations hate the most? Gen Z, of course. We live in an era where generations don't really mix all that frequently. Youngsters seek out the freedom that independent living offers as soon as possible. The internet is rampant (Ahem, Reddit) with generational debates, and as Gen Z yap on about the pri…

If you've ever scrolled through Reddit, chances are you have come across a starter pack. It's basically an internet meme that is created with the purpose of describing and/or illustrating a stereotypical person, place, culture, object, or opinion. Shoutout to Wikipedia for that lovely description. Some memes get old quickly, but starter packs capture universal truths that never go out of style. It's the reason the online community r/starterpacks is bustling with business, encouraging thousands…

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but man, some of these opinions deserve a facepalm. Don't get me wrong, free speech is great and all, but that automatically means we have the right to judge your judging. Some highly opinionated folk have taken to Reddit to express themselves in the r/unpopularopinion sub, which is totally fair — that's the point of the sub. If you want to get riled up, now you know where to go. The thing with being vocal on the internet is we're privileged enough to…

Sorry we can't split the check 10 ways, it's company policy

There are times we'd rather not get specific. In fact, most of the time we spend on the internet is done while mindlessly scrolling, clicking on random stuff, and finding ourselves in the depths of the WWW… There are rabbit holes that are better left unfound, and there are others that are sent by the internet gods (AKA the algorithm) as a blessing. Depending on how much we liked the rabbit hole we encountered, we may or may not pay it a revisit. The subreddit r/funny is a great example of a tim…

‘It’s just so convenient' is the go-to answer you give to people when they ask why you're using dating apps. Of course, the only people who would have the audacity to ask this question are the couples that have been chained to each other's ankles since middle school and take pride in the fact they are a living example of ‘real, true love’ (yuck). Behind the scenes nobody really knows what's going on. Tinder is easy enough to use, and feels like a practical way to get to know people because let'…

Good ideas are never born when you're on the brink of a mental breakdown or having a panic attack at work. I am convinced that the best ideas actually come to mind when you're simply chilling. We can take Isaac Newton as an example, as it has historically been suggested that he came up with the law of universal gravitation after an apple plopped onto his head, while he was resting under a tree. There is no actual evidence to support the theory, but the myth has not been entirely dispelled, so w…
