Jesus. I long for simpler days, when my deepest fear was prions.

Hah!

I chose a BA in computer science because it indicated that I’d satisfied the requirements for both - it was literally my choice; I’d done all of the stuff for a BS plus a enough for a minor in a BA. Stupid me thought people would understand that a BA in CS meant you went beyond.

No. No, hiring managers think a BA in CIS is some weaker, non-technical, non-STEM kind of computer thing, like a degree in computer art or something.

So I’ve been lying my whole life; when asked, I say I have a BS in CIS. I wouldn’t say I’m ever exactly worried about being caught out, because it’s easily explainable, but it has crossed my mind occasionally, when filling out applications.

The what now? It’s where?

WHAT‽

That is wonderfully specific!

All saws, or just power saws? Do you have a similar reaction to all kinds of saws, or just specific ones? Table saws, band saws… How about chainsaws?

I am shocked that so many people are buying pre-made coffee.

Not that they’re buying a cup of coffee at the diner, or getting some syrupy, coffee-flavored suger drink from Starbucks while out and about… but that a bunch of all y’all are buying pre-brewed coffee for your home. I honestly didn’t realize so many people were doing this.

I mean, it’s not even hard, unless you’re doing some James Hoffman pour-over method, at which point you may as well admit you’re doing it for the ritual. But brew a pot, put it in a thermos, and there’s your liter of coffee.

Why? Just, why?

A full beard. Which I never have; it was just that one winter when I was in low key, unspoken competition with my BIL. I am, and have been, as a rule and for my whole life, been clean shaven.

So now on the rare occasions I need to pull out my DL, I don’t recognize me and it shocks me a little.

I’m certified omnireligios. I celebrate every religious holiday of every religion, ever. Employers have to accommodate; I work, like, 4 days a year.
