Spring is here which is the season for drinking cocktails and devouring salads while wearing light summer dresses. So what do you do if you don’t drink anymore? We all know that only small children, recovering drunks, and people in ankle-length vintage skirts choose not to drink, right? To avoid the questions and concerned faces…
.Refrigerator Rules.
Employees: Now that we are all finally starting to return to the office, I just thought it would be helpful to remind everyone again of the rules we had and have in place for keeping food in our shared refrigerator. Please follow these guidelines to help ensure the fridge remains a sanitary and healthy space…
.Were my Twenties the Best Years? About Romance and other Things.
In the 1938 novel The Conspiracy, Paul Nizan writes: “I was twenty once, and I won’t let anyone say those are the best years of my life.” This sentence always made me feel less lonely. My twenties weren’t the best time either. I spent them thinking they should be extraordinary, exciting and romantic, and I…
.Zoom is Down.*
*but we still need to have the important “Executive-Bored” meeting. 9:34 a.m. Good morning, everyone! First of all, there is no “I” in team. It’s Jay from upper management, aka your boss, with a quick update about today’s executive meeting. Did I mention that there is no “I” in team? In the latest twist of…
.What I assumed Owning a House is Like.

.Everything I have Done to Impress Others or Myself (and How Successful Each was)*
*Just kidding. This is only a very small selection of the things I have done to impress others. I learned how to camouflage and blend in. (Successful) I learned how to play the game. (Successful) I learned to hit a baseball. (Successful and unsuccessful because it didn’t get me the date I wanted in 2006…
.Movie Characters.
Ultimately, do I think movie characters shaped me as a human? No, not entirely. That honour belongs to my parents, siblings, teachers, boyfriends, and tons of reading. But I do think that what we see on-screen shows as possibilities. Movies give us the lesson of what life might look like if you were like someone…
.The Idea is to Look Like an Idiot.
I do not, under any circumstances want to do Zumba with you. Workout classes, I am sorry to say, are the opiate of the already fit, or the already thin, if we are being quite honest with ourselves. I know. I know I am allowed to “go on my own pace” in theory. But in…
.True Ambition Tests.
People of every age are interested in bettering themselves. I guess with this in mind the majority chooses which profession to pick. Most professions require specific training and skills such as three years of military or police experience. Some, however, those a bit off the beaten track, must be entered in a different fashion. Since…
.Concerned Parents.
In light of the recent school changes with the Omicron mutation I have compiled a list of questions from concerned parents. Please submit your questions below. Maybe our school board (bored?) team will read and answer them. “If I’m fully vaccinated and boosted, will my newborn receive any immunity to Omicron while breastfeeding, and will…
