The longest thread ever

[OldPhiKap]

What?!?! I mean, I am to blame. But always?!?!

I'm guilty
Baby, I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life

How come I never do
What I'm supposed to do
How come nothing that I try to do
Ever turns out right

You know--You know how it is with me, Baby
You know I just can't stand myself

It takes a whole lotta medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else.

You would think at some point I would get tired of doing and saying stupid things. But I seemingly never do. It's funny, that I am exceptional at never getting drawn into an argument in my professional life yet I lack that thing that makes people back down with interpersonal conflicts. This is not true with Aimo though, but to be fair, she's terrifying.

You seem like the type to take a smelfie at a family gathering.

I am not terrifying, and people seem to LOVE to argue with me. Especially newbie research coordinators who apparently do not yet realize that they DO actually have to do what I say.

It’s not healthy to hold them in.

We're at 53 but it feels colder than that.

50 in Tuscaloosa but headed towards 60. Feels good. Was 42 and windy yesterday and I hated it.

Do we get bonus points for killing threads on other boards?

Highly dependent on the board in question and the manner of thread violence.

I went into a Hallmark store for the first time since the 90s today. I don't know how they're still in business, frankly.

I ended up only putting it into a temporary slumber.

I think I am good at taking threads in unintended directions. Perhaps "good" is doing some heavy lifting in that sentence.

selling small pieces of paper for $5 each can be pretty lucrative.

I managed a Hallmark store when I was just out of college. I got that job because I worked construction in the summers for a guy who built and updated Hallmark stores. Perhaps this is a shock, but I was the only person on the construction crew who was in college. Hallmarks are privately owned, but the owners pay a retail licensing fee. Individual Hallmark stores make their money from non-Hallmark gifts. You're welcome.

Corn dogs need a rebranding. I’d go meat twinkies.
