Who knew that this guy would ever have a job again? Who knew that not only would he be working in an industry he used to think was the biggest scam? That's right, I work in insurance now. Don't worry though, I don't actually do anything with your accounts; that would be scary. No, … Continue reading Insuring Bitter Saturday Giftures

Playtime is over Bitter Friday Giftures
It's been really fun the last six months sitting around the house, applying for jobs, getting prepared for interviews, getting fun questions from people like, "How's the job search going?" and "Have you found any leads?" or "Tell me a little about about yourself" and "Why do you think you are the best person … Continue reading Playtime is over Bitter Friday Giftures
Weather or Not Bitter Friday Giftures
For some reason, Al Roker seems to be getting more attention this year. Yeah, his glasses are weird colors and he is extremely short compared to his co-workers, but that doesn't seem to be it. It's because he is a meteorologist on the Today show and well, the weather has been a little wackadoodle … Continue reading Weather or Not Bitter Friday Giftures
Best Time of the Year Bitter Friday Giftures
This week is my favorite of the year. Many people love December and all its holidays. Others love Thanksgiving and the chance to eat lots of food, shop and be with family. Others love Valentine's Day (just kidding, no one loves Valentine's Day, ironically). Some love the summertime for sun, sand, good weather and … Continue reading Best Time of the Year Bitter Friday Giftures
Journey Friday Giftures
Lately, I've been taking a lot of journeys. I went on a 10 state 2000+ journey across the southern United States. This week I've been trying to walk 50 K total for Pokemon Go. And then there is the bitter discovery of trying to know what I want to do in my life at … Continue reading Journey Friday Giftures
Bitter Road Trip Friday Giftures
There is something about driving across the country in a 26 foot Uhaul trailer that makes you understand why truckers only like to stop at truck stops and not little gas stations. When your trailer doesn't turn on a dime like your car, you kind of have to rethink how to drive things. Also, … Continue reading Bitter Road Trip Friday Giftures
Bitter Tuesday Giftures
You guys have no idea how bitter I am right now. For all those people that have followed me from the beginning, (absolutely none of you) I've written 1000+ posts about things that made me bitter. I've written about everything from the tiniest irritation to absolutely soul-crushing of not having a job for the … Continue reading Bitter Tuesday Giftures
Snapping the Bitterverse Friday Giftures
As we all know Thanos snapped half the universe in Avengers Infinity War. It was a bad time in the universe what with half the people dying, but he didn't realize all the other things he snapped. He didn't realize that he also snapped my sanity as well. I probably thought things were fine last … Continue reading Snapping the Bitterverse Friday Giftures
Cancellation Bitter Friday Giftures
Baseball is kind of a weird sport. The majors actually start in late March, which is technically spring, in some places, but in places like Chicago, and Minnesota and Milwaukee (which all have major league teams) not so much every year. Baseball depends on not having weather issues. Well, in the little leagues, where … Continue reading Cancellation Bitter Friday Giftures
Baseball Bitter Friday Giftures
When I was growing up, baseball was my favorite sport...until I got hit in the gut with a fastball and had a fear of a little tiny ball going 60-100 miles an hour speeding right at me. I also realized that baseball was a lot of just standing around watching a pitcher throw to … Continue reading Baseball Bitter Friday Giftures
Cloning Dogs Bitter Friday Giftures
My wife just popped in and told me that people have way too much money. Obviously, I agreed and told her that we were on the opposite end of the scale, IE, we have way too little. I then asked her why she said that, and she said that some family paid $50,000 to … Continue reading Cloning Dogs Bitter Friday Giftures
April Foolish Bitter Friday Giftures
If you guys have followed the blog for a while, you probably know that I have always done an April Fools joke every year. Some fairly good, other's awful and this year, well, it wasn't very good, but apparently most of you fell for it anyways. I did not ever get a tweet from … Continue reading April Foolish Bitter Friday Giftures
Man Cave Bitter Friday Giftures
I'm almost 46 and I still don't have a man cave. Something needs to be done about this. I will even go as far as digging a few holes in the ground, but I don't know if my HOA will approve that. In that case, I should tell them that I won't dig holes if … Continue reading Man Cave Bitter Friday Giftures
Can I play your phone Bitter Friday Giftures
My son is 11 and he already makes me think that he will work for the United Nations someday. He is always negotiating high powered contracts and he is relentless. For instance, we recently lost Xbox Live Gold, which allows you to play games with your friend over Xbox. I decided that as much … Continue reading Can I play your phone Bitter Friday Giftures
Where is the ALL THE STUFF OREO’S Bitter Friday Giftures
There are a lot of myths out there. Dementors, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness Monster. I think people love myths because they love the mythtery of the unknown. There are a lot of unexplained things in this world, like Madea. The most recent myth that I have found is the Oreo's ALL THE STUFF … Continue reading Where is the ALL THE STUFF OREO’S Bitter Friday Giftures
New Kids on the Block Bitter Friday Giftures
In the background, I'm listening to the New Kids on the Block doing their best to make a comeback. I don't deny old people trying to make a comeback as I'm attempting to do right now, but at least they need to rebrand and call themselves Older Dudes on the Clock or something. One … Continue reading New Kids on the Block Bitter Friday Giftures
Building a Bitter Mousetrap Friday Giftures
They say you have to build a bitter mousetrap in order to catch mice. Well, in our last home it didn't seem to work, because they just kept coming back. Sometimes, I think you just need to build more mousetraps. I guess they were just attracted to our food or something. It's not like … Continue reading Building a Bitter Mousetrap Friday Giftures
Marching into Bitter Friday Giftures
I don't know about all of you, but February is both way too short and way too long. When watching the news all I keep hearing about is how much snow and bad weather everyone is getting (despite the fact that the Groundhog said winter was over) and terrible news about the government. I … Continue reading Marching into Bitter Friday Giftures
BitterTine’s Day Bitter Friday Giftures
I was talking to my wife the other day and I was comparing the days of the week to the months of the year. For the most part, it makes sense. January is definitely like Monday. Everyone is hungover from the holidays and the bitterness of family and togetherness and rage of the weekend … Continue reading BitterTine’s Day Bitter Friday Giftures
Nine Lives Bitter Friday Giftures
Most of the time the only reason I follow the news is when I do research for my Bitter News from the Couch. And I only follow the stories that make sense to make fun of. When I woke up this morning, my wife told me about a story I absolutely needed to write … Continue reading Nine Lives Bitter Friday Giftures
