As an introvert, I do my best to keep my favorite company (myself)around as much as possible. I try to stay at my desk not talking to people, and pray that they will see the invisible cocoon that I put up to prevent others speaking to me. Unfortunately, some people are very bad at … Continue reading The Bitter Barrier Reef of Giftures
Bitter Friday Giftures
Winners and losers Friday Giftures
I'm not a competitive person at all which is great, but my son is, so every time I go to the car, I'm in an Amazing Race for my life with my son. If I was a competitive person, I would be devastated all the time, because I don't think I've beat him in … Continue reading Winners and losers Friday Giftures
Fight or Flight Friday Giftures
Sometimes when you get trapped (in your cubicle, or in a store) there are only two things you can do. You can Fight for Your Right to Party, or you can join the Flight Club, but just remember the first rule about the Flight Club. Do not talk about the Flight Club. Second rule, … Continue reading Fight or Flight Friday Giftures
Dental Friday Giftures
I'm no an Anti-Dentite(yes Jerry, I'm bringing it back) but I just paid a visit to my dentist and his crew on Wednesday. And these guys and girls were all swagging around the DO (Dentist's Office) like they owned the place (they really only own part of the place). These guys and girls think … Continue reading Dental Friday Giftures
Clawing your way to the Middle Friday Giftures
Remember when you were a kid and you played baseball or soccer or gymnastics and you didn't get first, second or third so they gave you a participation badge?

Remember those times when you were in a group … Continue reading Clawing your way to the Middle Friday Giftures
Bitter Payback Friday Giftures
It's national get back that jerk at work day. I'm not sure if that is true, but we are celebrating that on a local level and by local level, I mean on my level.

Bitter Scavenger Hunt Giftures
Raise of hands here. Who could have been about 15 times more efficient at work with one or two pieces of vital information that was either not given freely or hidden from you by an annoying co-worker? Yep, that is me raising my arm bitterly and furiously like Hermoine in a Defense against the Dark … Continue reading Bitter Scavenger Hunt Giftures
Making it Rain like Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls Like the Motion of the Ocean Friday Gifture
For some reason, there is this mythological romantic, almost magical alure that the ocean holds over people. The rhythm of the waves, the peaceful sounds of the seagulls. The majesty of being one with ocean while surfing, and the quiet of the air, the sand getting in every nook and cranny, the uncertainty of what … Continue reading Making it Rain like Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls Like the Motion of the Ocean Friday Gifture
Bitter Friday Drifting Giftures
As you know, I'm a big fan of the nap. It provides me with a good way to get away from reality, because reality makes me bitter. In reality, you have to be around people and answer questions, and do things. All things I don't like doing. I've found though, that you don't always have … Continue reading Bitter Friday Drifting Giftures
Bitterly Swinging for the Fences Friday Giftures
Yesterday, I was outside because some kid wanted to play baseball in the backyard. Because I was a master of bitter hitting, where I would either hit it straight into someone else's glove or I would completely whiff in embarrassing fashion, he thought I might be able to teach him something. Baseball there is not … Continue reading Bitterly Swinging for the Fences Friday Giftures

Glutton for Punishment Giftures
Every afternoon, I leave my crazy job for a little bit and go to the break room. I grab my smart phone and turn on the big screen TV and I watch that game show called Let's Make a Deal. You know, the one where people dress up like deranged lunatics on Halloween so they … Continue reading Glutton for Punishment Giftures
Rage Quitting Friday Giftures
Back in the old days (pre-Benzoic Era 1973) people were polite when they decided that they didn't want to something anymore. People would write a nice note to their boss apologizing that they needed a little time off of work from the mines that they worked 18 hours a day 7 days a week. … Continue reading Rage Quitting Friday Giftures
Bitter Indecisiveness
Choose something for goodness sake! Chicken or fish! I don't know...fish is so terrible and chicken is really good, perhaps I'll go with...I just don't know! Do you wanna watch a comedy or drama? Let me see, should we laugh really hard for an hour and half or sit around bored trying to decide why … Continue reading Bitter Indecisiveness
Bitter Abandonment Giftures
Abandon hope all ye that read stuff on here. Just like my writing skills have abandoned me this week, so should you abandon your desks and workstations and computers and find bitterness in your cars, trains, planes, moped, skiis, snowboards, apparating or Time Machine Deloreans.

Bitter Sell Out Giftures
It's Friday, which means we can start talking about what makes us bitter through little moving pictures. As you might now, the Super Bowl is coming up. I guess I could avoid this thing that is annoying me by just turning the station, but in the last week, I think I've only heard like zero … Continue reading Bitter Sell Out Giftures
Frustration Friday Giftures
Nothing is more frustrating than expecting something good and getting something bad. Like when you expect to skip a rock, but not only does the rock not skip, but you throw it way short and it richochets off a bigger rock and it bounces back and hits you in the knee and causes you to go to surgery. Or when you expect … Continue reading Frustration Friday Giftures

Casual Friday Giftures
I don't know about you, but if I had the chance I would never wear clothes...that didn't include sweatpants, short sleeve T-shirts and either bare feet, or if it was necessary to wear something on my feet, sandals. Some companies try to make it seem like they are doing us a big favor by allowing … Continue reading Casual Friday Giftures

Things have happened this week. Things that may never be unseen. Happy people talking about music, and presents and having fun with their families. It has been hard to look at, hard to see.
