I was watching Harry Potter last night and it reminded me of something spooky. No, not witches and wizards or Horcruxes or Voldemort. It reminded me of something I did just yesterday. I didn't like my haircut, so I fixed it myself. My hair is already bad enough, but then letting myself hack it … Continue reading Harry Bitter Friday Giftures

Venmo Bitter Friday Giftures
There is a social media app out there that I think many of you are missing out on. On the surface you might think that Venmo is just another way to pay people without actually paying them, you would be wrong. In fact, if you are on Instagram mostly just to look at other … Continue reading Venmo Bitter Friday Giftures
Short Week Bitter Friday Giftures
Remember all the way back to Monday? Remember how most of us had Labor Day off? It seems like so long ago but we decided not to labor ironically. The reason why it seems so long ago, is because of this weird phenomenon where those shorter weeks we get from holidays seem longer because … Continue reading Short Week Bitter Friday Giftures
3 PM Afternoon Crash Bitter Friday Giftures
Based on recent trends, or maybe just what I've noticed, I think the human body seems to naturally shut down around 3 pm. I assume most people, like me have finished their really important work by 10 am, had lunch by 12 or 1 pm and are just biding their time until 5 pm. … Continue reading 3 PM Afternoon Crash Bitter Friday Giftures
Football Season Bitter Friday Giftures
Last night, I was sitting on the couch, relaxing from the bitter day of work I almost always have, and my son comes tromping in from football practice. As always, he left a trail of things leading up to himself, so even an incompetent detective like Inspector Clouseau could find him. He drops his … Continue reading Football Season Bitter Friday Giftures
Crystal Cloudy Bitter Friday Giftures
People have been trying to teach me a lot of stuff lately. Obviously when you start a new job, they have to teach you the ways of the Jedi, and or, the ways the company work and what you are supposed to do every day. The other day, my wife was telling me that … Continue reading Crystal Cloudy Bitter Friday Giftures
Interviewing Bitter Friday Giftures
I don't normally get too political, but when that stuff is crammed down your throat on TV on every single channel, all day long, you have to have an opinion. Not necessarily on one side of an issue or another, but some sort of opinion. Whether that opinion is that our country is a … Continue reading Interviewing Bitter Friday Giftures
Yesterday started out pretty normal. I went to work, got stuff done, came home got some dinner, listened to my daughter excitedly talk about her birthday today and then I retreated to my favorite place in the world, the couch for some chill. Just as my wife was getting ready to go to bed, … Continue reading
Insuring Bitter Saturday Giftures
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
