amygoth:
Y’all know me, still same old tea,
but I been low key.
Hated on by most of these coffee drinkers
for my Red Rose and Tetleys.
No rooibos and no green,
no lapsang souchong, darjeeleen’.
Mad at me cuz I can finally afford to provide my family with jasmine.
Got a spoon and a strainer and it’s all full of leaves,
to add to this mug full of tea.

VP Engineering: Nothing.
VP Sales: Which costs 25k?
VP Engineering: Correct.
Me: That scales!
WatchI tried to like one of Amy’s videos on Vyou a minute ago and, because I sometimes have a hard time using the internet, I ended up just liking her outright. Which seemed a little weird to me. So I’m pretty embarrassed right, because it’s 11:30 and I just liked someone on Facebook and I have JUST watched the episode of the office where Ryan says he knows that some senator is gay because he likes...

So this evening I am doing my OKCupid thing and I get a message from a guy “By the way I found you on LinkedIn and browsed through your Tumblr blog already, so I am quite efficient at finding information for networking purposes. It is up to you whether you want to talk or not.” So I IM…

So there.
I RSVPed for this and then realized your name wasn’t on there. I like Alex Blagg and Rob Delaney, but now I’m disappointed.

Sometimes the footnotes are the best part
By convention, “biweekly” should mean “every two weeks”. Unfortunately, the bi- suffix has been misunderstood so frequently to mean “twice per” instead of “every two” that “biweekly” now uselessly means “every two weeks” or “twice per week”.
The semi- prefix properly, and only, means “twice per”. Therefore, the correct word for “twice per week” is “semiweekly”. But since misunderstandings of...

The truth is that the numbers for AOL’s Patch efforts look bad, based on the southern California numbers leaked to Business Insider. It’s especially bad when you contrast them with traffic generated by Huffington Post, with is topical, not local.

“Girl you got your tights on, your ass like a panini.”
— Important song we just wrote at the bar
Is “panini ass” a good thing, like, “Damn, your ass is hot like a newly grilled panini,” or is it a bad thing, like, “Damn, your ass is all flattened like a sandwich crushed under the weight of a panini press.”?

Here’s a funny story. Somebody at The Red Cross that has access to their Twitter account made a bit of a mistake last night. They posted a tweet proclaiming:

The Problem with Bad Guy Heroes
nickdouglas:
“Some children might assume that white pirates and gangsters are somehow good, but non-white pirates and gangsters are bad. That would be unfortunate — but isn’t that a predictable supposition considering that American culture simultaneously heroizes history’s white criminals and demonizes today’s non-white counterparts?” Source: The problem with bad guy heroes - David Sirota -...
Getting Ready to Fly to Portland
I left my (empty) suitcase in my car, and I left my car at the office. My list of things to do to get ready just got a whole lot shorter.
Graduation Speech Season is Heating Up →
If several years ago you stopped challenging yourself, you’re going to be bored. If you work for some guy who you used to sit next to, and really, he should be working for you, you’re going to feel undervalued, and you won’t come back. So, my heartfelt message to all of you is, and start thinking about this now, do not leave before you leave. Do not lean back; lean in. Put your foot on that...

“At one point, he’s in college studying anthropology and you think his life is going to be about that, but next thing you know, he’s working full-time as a waiter,” observer Richard Siegal said. “Then out of the blue you find out that what he really wants to do is get into marketing, and suddenly he’s back in college again. It makes no sense.”
