    oh! Didn’t know other people had those

    When I was maybe eight my good buddy convinced the tennagers to let us hang out with them

    They had a hang out area out in the woods. You had to climb under a fence while one of the strong kids lifted the bottom of the fence up. On the other side was a “river” you could cross with a swing rope someone had attached to the tree above. (it looked like a massive river as a kid. But after having gone back as an adult you could easily hop over without much notice)

    Anyway, we ended up going back there pretty regularly just as a way to get away from where the adults could find us. We ended up finding this massive stash of magazines one of the older kids had at the spot

    I was too young at the time to be interested but my buddy ended up stealing a couple so we could look at them with our other friends













  • Think part of the issue is the casual use of the word “average” really means “what I normally experience on a given day”. So in casual conversation it is talking about something akin to the middle of a distribution curve. It gets lost in translation due to the same word being used in two different ways


  • Ugh. Remembering my days at help desk. Had to help this janitor for the library log into his computer for his yearly security training. It took literally hours to walk this man through how to hit CTRL + ALT + DELETE only for him to tell me he didn’t have a password… (Ofc he had one everyone in the entire city had one. So I had to walk him through the password reset process)

    I feel for the guy in retrospect but damn did I need a beer after getting home
