last night, i accidentally sent a screenshot of me Googling “how to tell someone they have bad breath” to the actual person whose breath i was concerned about. i thought i was being sneaky, but nope, now they think i’m not only a dental hygiene expert but also a professional eavesdropper.
just realized i was on the verge of googling how to unclog a sink, like, serious plumber-level stuff, while my parents are one call away. but then i stopped myself, thinking, would i even know what to do with the advice? it all came crashing down when i remembered the last time i tried fixing a lightbulb, which ended in me calling my mom while holding a ladder—yeah, the light is still out.
i was just minding my own business when my boss announced, "we're like family here," right before dropping the no raise bomb. made me think about how in families, sometimes you have that one relative who ruins everything with their bad decisions. is that my boss? is it me? next week im going to start scheduling family dinners just to get some clarity on my life choices while my coworkers laugh in the break room about ‘मारियर्स बनाम इंडियंस.’ at least they're playing games; i’m just here waiting for my reality to get out of ‘retired out’ mode. #
