    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I work at an expensive private University in the Midwest (disclosure I am an alum) that is trying to stay relevant and competitive in an area that has no less than 7 colleges and universities plus two community college systems within about a 40 minute drive of each other . It definitely is...

    I suppose were it not so stupid it would be funny, but apparently the head of HR is now the “Chief Talent officer.”

    I find the drug ads somewhat amusing in the way they slip clinical language into their scripts. As if normal people go around saying things like "moderate to severe" anything. And the people depicted in the ads - you have to wonder if that attractive middle aged couple knew they were filming...

    You know you're getting old when you miss it when your barber doesn't trim your eyebrows.

    Is that like "New and improved?" or is it extraordinary (extra-ordinary)?

    NO!

    Don't watch so much TV anymore, it's mostly with YouTube videos these days.

    A very GREAT annoyance of late: Liberty Mutual Insurance commercials. The ones with the emu particularly so.

    I just think that it'll be an expensive (VERY expensive) gimmick toy that really won't work the way it's needed to. Our main floor (Living & dining rooms) are hard wood with small area rugs (as is the bedroom level), and the kitchen is tiled, so I'm told it shouldn't be problematic. The cat...

    Wife and son are talking about ordering a rumba. [heavy sigh...]

    Touche! Actually I forgot about those. I guess the ones I was referring to would be the second generation? Anyway, I meant the modern resurgence in the 90s(?).

    Electric cars are so much more aesthetically palatable now that they don't look so stupid. Remember the first generation electric cars? Quite often it's the way electric car drivers drive that is obnoxious. I understand they're trying to maximize battery economy an charging and all that, but I...

    Once upon a time I vowed I would never depart from driving a sedan, thinking that SUVs were essentially trucks. Afterall, does the average person living in the city and burbs really need to be driving a truck around? Then I had a family and the sedan was less than comfortable and was often...

    Every time I visit the in laws in north central Pa. I am amazed that their dirt roads are smoother than most of the paved road back in the city.

    I am yet to see a bicyclist obey traffic rules. Maybe one in a hundred does but I never see it. They just don't do it where I live.

    Thank you. I always vowed to be a lifelong renter, with no property responsibilities and content with the notion of being able to simply make a phone call if something breaks. And that has been fine thus far and would probably continue to be so. It's been the wife and son that have been itching...

    Oh come on folks, we just bought a house. You're not helping our first-time home owner anxiety!

    Update: After having heard nothing since my initial report to the Post Office and the assignment of a case number 8 days ago, I just this morning received an email inviting me to complete a survey giving feedback on the service I received on my case. I can't imagine what that service could...

    I'm sure similar stories abound with regard to postal carriers. From their stand point I can understand golng out on a limb and taking a chance to cut a corner. It seems that they are often hounded by supervisors and auditors to speed things up. But when you're caught, man up and admit it and...
