  • I worked as a baker for a while years ago. The guy who trained me made that part of the training and I thought he was kind of weird for it. Like it was written into his schedule that he gave me for time frames. “4:45 take Sourdough out of oven, 5:00 Take bagels out of oven, 5:15 admire your work”. I thought it was silly at first but it really does help you to appreciate the effort you put in.


  • There were some great free games back then that came in cereal or some other give away. Chex Quest, Toy Story, Bionicle, Back Yard Baseball, Spot (7up), Roller Coaster Tycoon, and a bunch of just board game remakes. A big chunk of my childhood gaming was on free games now that im thinking about it.





  • I was at a gas station one day, pumping my gas like normal when this lady came up to me. She was from New Jersey and visiting my state and had no idea how to pump her own gas. New Jersey doesn’t allow you to pump your own gas BTW. I talked her through it and she seemed genuinely freaked out by the whole experience, like she was afraid her car would just burst into flames as she pumped. She was an older lady too (maybe 50-60), but i guess she never traveled alone before and just hadn’t had to do it for herself. Nice lady though, she gave me 5 bucks for helping her out.



  • I had a cat that would get in the litter box, do her little ritual of scratching and pawing like most cats do. Then she would stick her but over the edge and squeeze one out on the floor next to her box. She would pee in the litter box but refused to poop in it. We tried all kinds of different box sizes and shapes, and nothing worked. We ended up just laying newspaper under the box for years. Goofy goober. Cat tax -
