The Roundup
Funny and Strange Things Encountered in My Day-to-Day
Let’s try something different today: funny and strange things I encounter in my day-to-day. Just like it says in the subtitle.
At the doctor’s office
Office: Enjoy some reading material while you wait 45 minutes past your appointment time.
The reading material:
Thought this road would go South
No idea what this is, but I don’t think I want to wake up with it
Everyone working on the cloud services team must wear this outfit
Jobs ads vs reality
The ad: You will be a self-motivated strategist, creative thinker, innovator, and problem solver…
The actual job:
Your actions have more reach than you might imagine
I hung up a suet feeder outside for the birds.
A squirrel got into it and knocked it to the ground.
A couple hours later, I went out to rehang and saw a turtle eating it.

Why can’t they LARP on LinkedIn like normal people?

Substack notes
Saw this outside the hardware store and thought it read like a Substack note.
I’m trying with notes, but not happy with the way it’s going. My mid-new years resolution is to post more often and not sound like a warning sign, bumper sticker, fortune cookie, or quote from a quote book.
World Cup visitors
Social media is brimming with videos about foreign visitors trying Waffle House, Buc-ee’s, and Walmart for the first time. Not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed.
I’m reaching the email limit so that’s it for today. I’ve no plan to turn this into a comedy show, but if you’d like to see this sort of thing occasionally, please let me know in the comments.












lol. This took me back to Tumblr days. Keep this up
Funny! It's nice to change things up sometimes.
