Workplace witticisms, job jokes and career quips; who says work can't be a laughing matter?
Confusion is like a road block
Information overload happens sometimes. Did I watch too much television? Did I read too many articles online of various topics? Did I inquire too much about various possibilities as I was trying to figure out how to "get a life"? Probably. It's like going to the buffet restaurant. There's so much! Where do I start? What should I try? What will I like?

My mother, recovering from a cold, is now forced to watch Monday Night Football with my stepfather and pretend to enjoy it. I have an old guitar, some Duolingo courses and plenty of books to distract me, along with another prompt for another story (over 500 words already written). And my mind is already racing ahead to what 2025 will bring. But let’s not forget the year we are about to lose…
