That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Holy cow, look at this job posting. Have you ever seen so much bullshit assembled in one place?

How do you breathe content? Is this a skill you can acquire, or must you be born with specific gills?

I don't know how "bleeding edge" is it to read rss feeds or use a Blackberry these days, but maybe I just don't "Get It."

I think my favorite part is

You can survive and prosper in a modern, high brilliance standards “rock ‘n’ roll” culture where your supervisors are fearless and your peers are A-game “imaginators” with the highest of execution standards

Because you know that's just code for bro-culture.

Thrive to spite them

And quotations are "abused" on a "regular" basis to show what "forward thinking" "bleeding edge" "rock star" "revolutionaries" as we "reimaginate" the "news"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How do you breathe content?

I consistently find that I am more content when I breathe than when I don't.

Because you know that's just code for bro-culture.

It's barely code. Wait, sorry: It's "barely" code.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Finished my holiday shopping. Had to order my mom's gift online, since the Macy's I went to had no cosmetic/travel bags whatsoever. Also had to pay extra to make sure it will arrive here before we leave for Florida.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

imaginators is a terrible word that shouldn't be in a job description.

In addition to my other adulting, I've located a new doctor and gone for a physical. And in doing so, I also got antibiotics to try to kill the respiratory infection I've been living with for the past 2 months.

Tomorrow, I'll go to the gym then to a blood draw. Doesn't this all sound fun?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Do today's douchebros really use "rock n' roll" as an adjective? I'm getting the sense that this was written by Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
