   t’s a shame, because he had just got the Jardiance jingle, paired with the visual of the plus-sized smiling dancing woman, out of his head after several weeks. . . . . (And now, you have the Jardiance jingle in your head.)

   The wise *ss illustrates a larger truth: SOME THINGS ARE JUST NOT WORTH WORRYING ABOUT! I’m the same way with underwear and socks – just throw them in a pile in the drawer! Who the heck is gonna’ know or care? The kind of people that would come in my house, inspect my underwear drawer, and consequentially judge me about it are the kind of people I don’t want in my house anyway.

   No, there is no central authority somewhere checking signatures on receipts to see if they match your handwriting. It is a remnant of the 20th century. I usually just draw a little cat face on there.

   I suppose folks will log in all day and milk this pun for all it’s worth, which is fine, since so little is at steak.

   I was painting a real painting one time and made a goof. I instinctively reached for the CTRL Z buttons, but they weren’t there in real life.

   If you do have a job you enjoy, you have won history’s lottery. Very few people throughout time have enjoyed the occupation that was thrust upon them. There will still be days/ weeks/ years where it is still just WORK. For men especially, if they do enjoy their job, they will stay there too many hours like rats completing the maze and getting all the cheese instead of going home to what really matters.

   YES! A thousand times, YES! Your job / career is NOT your LIFE! Your job only PAYS FOR your life! It is hard, especially for men, to realize this. LIFE is what happens AFTER you check out for the day, and you go to experience the things that really important – your family, your volunteer work, your hobbies, your recreation. These are the things where you are really needed, your job will replace you shortly once you’re gone, or if they don’t, you weren’t really that vital there to begin with.For thousands of years, no one got to choose their occupation. But now we do, and we somehow get deluded into thinking that is our purpose / mission. That leads to a very unhappy life, because even if you trained for your dream job, there will be days / years when it is just WORK. If you hate your job, join millions of others in history, wipe your tears on your paycheck, and go home and start living.

    A teacher I know has had students involved in questionable activities in the past. He always told them that if HE knows they have troubles with the law, they are stupid criminals, because they broadcast their activities to relative strangers, and will spend most of their criminal career behind bars. And if they learn to keep their yaps shut about their crimes, they could end up in Congress. . . .
