The forest is a place full of mystery, wonder and trees. Lots and lots of trees. Forests would be awesome if it wasn't for all the trees. If you haven't noticed, especially at this time of year, trees are kind of jerks. They litter constantly, they are always swaying and scratching and making spooky noises … Continue reading Lost in the Woods and other Bitter Posts: The Epcot Version

Coming up Short Friday Giftures
Though I am tall(er than most ants), this week was short, because I took Monday and Tuesday off not only from work but also from blogging. The thing about short weeks is that they make the days you actually work last even longer. Every hour is so magnified that each second lasts an hour, every hour lasts a day … Continue reading Coming up Short Friday Giftures
The Bitter Beard Battle of Movember
I have always had an issue with authority. I don't like people telling me what to do. I know, shocker right? As the last Tootsie roll fell from the hands of a reluctant, road weary candy shiller into the bucket of my children's overflowing Halloween bucket, dudes all around nation grabbed their razor's or electronic shavers and then … Continue reading The Bitter Beard Battle of Movember
Lost causes and Lost Bitter Posts Disney Chronicles Part 2
When I was 5 or so, my younger brother and I had just got some new pajamas. Since I was the older and more bitter brother, of course, I got Superman and he got Batman pajamas. Since I was imbued with all the superpowers of Superman, I didn't need my parents help for anything, so … Continue reading Lost causes and Lost Bitter Posts Disney Chronicles Part 2
Funny Blog Friday and Halloween Bitter Giftures
When I first moved to Seattle, my brother in law(and his family) had just moved here too. When he moved to another house, he forgot his valued high school sweatshirt. So one day, out of the kindness of our hearts (by ours I mean not mine) we brought it back to him. He said he … Continue reading Funny Blog Friday and Halloween Bitter Giftures
The Bitter Battle for Control (and how everything can be a weapon)
I'm a longtime fan of action movies. Some people like action movies for the explosions or the tension, or the unbelievability of it all. While those are all good things, especially the unbelievability of them, it's the individual fight scenes between two fairly even opponents that fascinates me. That is what most action movies seem to … Continue reading The Bitter Battle for Control (and how everything can be a weapon)
Epic Failure Contest
Don't ever tell me that I learn a lesson from failing at something. A couple of years ago, when this blog was very new and I was idealistic about it going to a place where I would never have to do real work ever again, I held a contest giveaway. I did what I thought … Continue reading Epic Failure Contest
My Bitter Nightmare
It's that time of the year again. The fake and real spiderwebs are out in force, fake and pumpkin guts are spilled all over and fake and real people are dressed up as fake and real ugly people. This time of year is the time of nightmares. As you can probably imagine, there are … Continue reading My Bitter Nightmare
The Long Lost Bitter Posts Volume 3
Of all the things I've lost over the years, my mind is the thing that I miss the least. The thing I miss the most is my internet connection. How else am I supposed to post all my bitter thoughts across all kinds of internet platforms, if I only have two bars? Thinking about stuff … Continue reading The Long Lost Bitter Posts Volume 3

Language Barrier Bitterness and the Bitter Translator
There are like a thousand different languages being spoken every day. In my office alone, there is English, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, sarcasm, Texas drawl and the one I speak, Bitterness. Those are just the ones that I can think of. There is also the written languages that can be easily misinterpreted like email, texting, tweeting, Facebooking and … Continue reading Language Barrier Bitterness and the Bitter Translator
How to avoid becoming a bitter non-workaholic
Welcome to the first bi-annual, monthly weekly conference for Bitter Workaholics Anonymous. I am your keynote speaker, Bitter Ben, and I am a non-recovering non-workaholic. I do my best at work to only focus on the things that are most important at work. Blogging, browsing of the internet, games, texting and catching up on my … Continue reading How to avoid becoming a bitter non-workaholic
The Lost Bitter Posts Volume 2
Because I am a bitter man and a stubborn person, I would much more prefer to get lost on my way somewhere than to ever ask someone for instructions. I have wandered the streets of downtown Seattle aimlessly for hours, got lost in the mountains overnight and even got lost on my way from the … Continue reading The Lost Bitter Posts Volume 2
Messy Freaking Friday Giftures
My desk is a mess, my car is a mess, my clothes are a mess. Even Pigpen thinks I'm a mess. Life is messy that is for sure, but none more than mine. In fact, my hair is so tired of the mess my brain is, that the sides spike out just so they won't have to be … Continue reading Messy Freaking Friday Giftures
Bitter Retirement
I know I look pretty old for a 41 year old, but that's because I'm really only 6. I have lived a hard life of eating food, laying on the couch and pretending to type things at work to make them think I'm working. Ever since I was young, I've always wanted to be … Continue reading Bitter Retirement
Crashing into Friday Giftures
Did this week feel like a train wreck in progress to everyone else like it did to me? I don't know if you remember all the way back to Monday, but it was a whole month ago (September) and that is a busy month for my job. It required me to sit at my desk … Continue reading Crashing into Friday Giftures
Friday Slideday
I declare that it is officially Friday Slideday. That means you are officially invited to slide down a notch whatever it is that you were doing today. So, if you were at a slight 30% capacity on doing work this morning, slide that down a very comfortable and barely functioning 10%. If you … Continue reading Friday Slideday

10 Things Ready for a Bitter Break Up
A couple of days ago, I was watching the Bachelor's Paradise. These are people that have been on the Bachelor and "didn't win" in their particular cycle as if not getting engaged to the one girl or boy amongst all the contestants is losing. What we all know is that in the end is that they … Continue reading 10 Things Ready for a Bitter Break Up
The Supermoon
I spent most of the day Saturday out in the middle of nowhere Washington, at a family reunion. It was at a Great Uncle or something's house that had a sprawling 10-15 acres (I have no idea how big acres are. Let's just say it was a big yard.) In the back, there was a … Continue reading The Supermoon
