We got a shit-ton of these dark teal and purple dress shirts in this week at the khaki store. They look kind of like a subdued and classy reboot of the Charlotte Hornets for children of the 90’s who are now becoming grown people.

@camiwillknow - I was looking at some today-in-history and people-whose-birthday-is-today kind of site. I don’t remember what I was doing that got me there.
My mom just called to tell me not to get fired.
Thanks, mom.
Happy Birthdays, Ricky Skaggs and Priyanka Chopra!
This concludes the only two sentences to date to contain both Ricky Skaggs and Priyanka Chopra.
Probably no one but me wants a Bollywood-Bluegrass crossover.
Facebook is really pushing these "sweet pants of liberty."

Interesting paper that seizes upon chimpanzee treatment of corpses toward a partial account of the development of human religion, alongside a reconsideration of the traditional Middle/Upper Paleolithic image division in popular discourse.
This is a magnificent article by a person with a Harry Potter-ass name. Spooky language is involved.
Now for a second, bonus Monday
By which I mean I worked a shift at ass in the morning, ran some errands, took a nap, and now I’m waking up for as much of the whole day as I would have otherwise.
Hous Hunters Drinking Game!

Oh! Oh! Can we make an HH International version or is that just asking for alcohol poisoning?
Ha…I’ll see if I can come up with some extra things but you might be able to use this one too.
For international you have to add astonishment that people live in houses that tiny, people freaking out over the washer/dryer combo in the kitchen, freaking out over the bathrooms, cooing over “authenticity,” wanting home offices so they can still work from the beach in Costa Rica, getting price gouged for being privileged people who buy fancy condos in run-down areas, bitching about the views, any mention of being able to throw open the windows to let in ocean breezes, and demanding extra bedrooms for guests. Finish your drink if the only guest in the silly party scene at the very end is the realtor.
This is awesome. I endorse this.
Any discussion of granite counter tops and/or stainless steel appliances.
“Bonus room” = finish your drink.
Make that 5 jobs
because the county makes you send in a unique application for each different posting, so all I had to do was change the position# I was applying to and resubmit to toss my hat in there for two more jobs.
Three jobs applied to today.
Because nothing motivates me like stewing in anxiety, passive-aggression, and contempt.
