People get busy on the weekend. I get it, there's a lot of fun and laziness to pack into 2 days. Until the weekend gets longer and the work week gets shorter, (I'm working with Obama on that) there is always going to be a lot of pressure to get in all the laziness and … Continue reading In case you missed it…because you were busy working hard on your laziness

Bitterly Intense Friday Giftures
Things are getting all intense up in here. The NBA playoffs are finally here, crazy things are happening on Season Finale's all over television, and even WordPress is making some insane decisions. Probably about the time you read this, a post I did on my birthday entitled 41 Reasons to be Bitter will be … Continue reading Bitterly Intense Friday Giftures
The Alphabitter
They say everything you ever learned, you learned in Kindergarten. While all my bitter learning took place well before kindergarten, there are other fundamental bitter things that came after. I did learn about the ABC's in kindergarten by way of the Letter People, which I guess isn't the way that people learn these days. … Continue reading The Alphabitter
In case you missed it…because you needed more things to add to your busy life
Whether you were doing chores, overindulging on Easter candy or spending too much time watching the NBA Playoffs, cutting the grass, going grocery shopping or catching up on all your family arguments or being lazy ignoring all the things you have to do, you were busy the last two weeks. I was so busy doing … Continue reading In case you missed it…because you needed more things to add to your busy life
Cluster luck Friday Giftures
My life is a running disaster. Not in the traditional sense of lightning bolts coming down from the sky, hurricanes lifting my house all the way to Oz, or Spokane, floods overflowing the water table in my basement, or molten lava coming down from an angry volcano. It's more like a light bulb goes out … Continue reading Cluster luck Friday Giftures
The Bitter Sun
It's something like 92 million miles away and it gives Superman his Super Abilities with almost no weaknesses, but the Sun can be kind of a jerk sometimes. On the recent road trip I went on, I talked about my disdain for the heavy repeat of songs, Disney in any form and the … Continue reading The Bitter Sun
Road Trip Music Bitterness
Back in March, when I was finally granted one actual week of vacation out of my 4 possible weeks, it just so happened that it was on the same week as my kids Spring Break from school and the week after my parents were just coming home from Mongolia to their home base of … Continue reading Road Trip Music Bitterness
The Mountainous Barriers of Friday Giftures
Many claim that the mountains are majestic, and beautiful and good for skiing and fun to climb. As a member of the "Growing up in the Midwest without My Permission" Club, I happen to think that they are just in my way. If I want to drive through them, I have to fight all kinds … Continue reading The Mountainous Barriers of Friday Giftures
41 Things I’m Bitter About
It is again that time of year when I get to celebrate all the people asking me stupid questions like, "What are you going to do today?" and "What kind of cake do you want?" and "What presents did you get?" and "How can I annoy you the most today on the day that you … Continue reading 41 Things I’m Bitter About
In case you missed it, because I missed doing it
I am in an undisclosed location that absolutely does not rhyme with DUtah, under strict orders by myself to not to do work, but the Mr. Work Enforcer (me) never said anything about blogging, even though it is a lot of work. I'm in an overground bunker that they call houses here, that has … Continue reading In case you missed it, because I missed doing it
Attack of the Friday Giftures
Usually by Friday, I have taken all I can take. So when I get to work I walk in like a gangster, not taking it any more. I sit aggressively in my cubicle typing things on the keyboard way harder than I normally do. I scowl at people that walk by way more angrily and … Continue reading Attack of the Friday Giftures
The Keys to Becoming a Better Bitterer
As the internet's number 2(because who is more bitter than someone who is only second best) leading expert in Bitterness, I have not once been asked to give a lecture or speech on how it is done. When I figured out that people had absolutely no desire to learn the bitter trade, that is when … Continue reading The Keys to Becoming a Better Bitterer
The Bitter Divide
Last night I was watching the X-Men: First Class and one of the many themes of the movie was divisions and what causes them. At first, most of the X-Men are friends because of the mutual abilities that made the different/better than regular humans with no gifts. The world isn't sure what to do with … Continue reading The Bitter Divide
