Friday's are normally associated with pizza, being lazy at work, and Parties. One of these things are not like the other. I've never much liked parties, because I don't like loud, I don't like people, I don't like talking and I don't like being on someone else's couch. In fact, the only good thing about … Continue reading Bitter Friday Party Giftures

Bitter Field Trip
This summer has been just full of it. Ever since it started way back in 2016, it has been nothing but a headache. In early May, we decided to take an Indiana Jones sized leap of faith across the chasm and move with me having no job, or any promise of income when we got … Continue reading Bitter Field Trip
A Bitter Sculpture
Many years ago, my favorite team the San Antonio Spurs took a quote from Jacob Riis to use as their motto. Riis was talking about observing a sculptor and how he was able to do so much work and have it make such a little impact. This is what he said: "When nothing seems to … Continue reading A Bitter Sculpture
Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures
I'm pretty sure the internet/blogosphere/Wordpress has learned to adjust to life without me, but I have not learned to adjust to life without it. Even though I have taken an involuntary break for 4 days without blogging which I would never do on purpose, my thoughts are never far from bitterness. Every little slight, … Continue reading Bitter Late than Never Friday Giftures
National Laziness Day Bitterness
Early yesterday morning when I was sweating away from all the moving of boxes, and moving my body around sans couch, somebody mentioned to me that it was National Laziness Day and I couldn't have been more bitter. Here I was not only not notified about the greatest holiday this side of national pizza week, … Continue reading National Laziness Day Bitterness
Bitter Security Beach
I bet you have not been wondering at all where I have been. Which is why I'm going to tell you. Since my self inflicted unemployment, I have been not working. At least I've been trying not to. But for some reason, I keep having to pack, fight against dust bunnies, throw stuff away, which … Continue reading Bitter Security Beach
Flying the coop Friday Giftures
I'm know most people don't fly the coop until they are at least 18 years old, but as a 15 year old...employee, I feel like I'm immature enough to make a failure out of myself in the big bad world of not here. So, I'm spreading my broken wings and I'm going to fly, … Continue reading Flying the coop Friday Giftures
Bitter Good Byes
"It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday." - Boyz 2 Men, Boys To Men? Those four guys that harmoniously sang things in a group setting while recording stuff? Actually, it isn't really hard to say goodbye to yesterday, because yesterday is already gone. It's hard to say goodbye to people because people all want … Continue reading Bitter Good Byes
Bitterness Advisor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPlkKVIJ1S8 On July 1, 2001 I put in my 15 year notice at this job and told them that they had to find a replacement for me, or lose out on all the precious training that I would provide a new person on how to totally mess up a job here. Apparently they thought they … Continue reading Bitterness Advisor
My Motto? One Call can ruin it all
As you have probably figured out, I've been a bitter guy for my entire life. If you haven't figured that out yet, then you probably need to read a few posts, which I know you won't and that will make me even more bitter. It's part of the bitter cycle that always lead to bitterness. … Continue reading My Motto? One Call can ruin it all
Bitter Miscalibration Friday Giftures
If you've ever watched the cable channel IFC, you know that their slogan is "Always on, slightly off." It's because it's the channel for hipsters, who's motto is "I liked so and so something or other BEFORE it was cool." I'm actually the anti-hipster, not only because I have a hip that always hurts … Continue reading Bitter Miscalibration Friday Giftures
What’s with the Cannibalistic Cereal?
I was laying in my Lazy Ben recliner the other day, watching some TV and some commercials came on. As an aside, I'm pretty bad at most things, but I'm pretty good at recognizing patterns. If there were ever a job that required me to point out pointless and dumb similarities that two people had, … Continue reading What’s with the Cannibalistic Cereal?
Bitter People Repellent
The other day I was forced into doing two things to sell my house. 1. Go outside and 2. Talk to people. Those two things are the leading causes of headaches, night sweats, jitteriness, and bitteriness. Obviously those things slice to my very core and make me want to parkour into some blackberry bushes. Even … Continue reading Bitter People Repellent
My Bitter Guest Post on Suzie’s Speaks
I know your Sunday is super busy filled with activities such as laying around, getting ready for brunch at 11 am and hanging out on your 40 foot yachts, but I'm going to ask you to interrupt your super important plans and spare a square of your time and ask you to run(or walk or … Continue reading My Bitter Guest Post on Suzie’s Speaks
A Flying Flip Friday Giftures
You know when you are on a plane going to an exotic location like Bora Bora or a history filled location like Rome or London and the plane flips over? Yeah me neither. I've never been very exotic or have much history. I have been on a plane but usually only to places like … Continue reading A Flying Flip Friday Giftures
High Percentage Bitter
I'm not exactly what you would call a math savant. In fact, what most people would call me is the low end of the totem barrel. At the beginning of a semester of a math class, my high end goal was C-. You know, just enough to get by, to not get a D or … Continue reading High Percentage Bitter
Procrastination Friday Giftures
Procrastination. The National Pastime. More popular than basketball, football, baseball, hockey AND Jai ali. The sport takes place in offices, schools, playgrounds, stores and even hovels across the nation every day. The sport works like this. The one that holds off the longest before doing important things wins. The only reason this hasn't become … Continue reading Procrastination Friday Giftures
Pizza Ordering 101 – A New Course offered At Ben’s B.I.T.T.E.R. School of Bitterness
Two disturbing trends lately. 1) It has come to my attention that I haven't created any new classes for Ben's B.I.T.T.E.R. School of Bitterness lately and that isn't okay and B), it has come to my attention that not everyone in the world knows how to order pizza. It is imperative you know how to … Continue reading Pizza Ordering 101 – A New Course offered At Ben’s B.I.T.T.E.R. School of Bitterness
The Weapons of The Introvert
I imagine being an extrovert can be a pretty bitter and exhaustingly hard job. You are always on the offensive, trying to hunt down people to interact with, to way overtalk with; like a mosquito trying for its next human arm fix. Though somehow I'm sure even the hunt for other people is energizing to … Continue reading The Weapons of The Introvert
Weeds are more successful than me
I've always taken great pride in being really bad at things. I joke about how bad I am at math, but it really is amazing how I can't even help my 6th grade daughter with her homework. She isn't even to Algebra yet. I think it's humorous how bad I am at fixing things … Continue reading Weeds are more successful than me
