As a recently retired person, here's the #1 thing I DON'T miss: working until 8 or 9pm to catch up on my work emails, only to be greeted by a sh*tload of work emails when I logged in at 8am the next morning.

Should be a law against work related emails between 5pm-8am.
I keep telling people, too many meetings, too many emails and no communication. You're so numb to the glut of email that you just start mass deleting and miss the occasional email that was actually important.
If I put in a change, between entering, implementing and closing the change I probably get 10-12 automated emails.

Just stumbled on this. I nominate for dumbest new product of the year. Who wants to smell like donuts all day . . . and yes, this is a real product.

Remember when waiting rooms had magazines to read while you wait?

I‘m at the eye doctor and not a single magazine to be found. Just everyone on their phones

I'm awake right now because I go to bed too early. Watching videos on my phone to try to go back to sleep when I see a flash of light from outside. Thought I was seeing things. Then a few seconds later I hear thunder. Surprise thunderstorm coming through.

I woke up last night with the nightmare that I was missing all of my high school finals. I haven't had that one in a while and at least I was fully clothed in this one.

Tonight I learned that raccoons can fly.

Young coon on the balcony; made it around the baffles that we put up last year. They climb the chimney and reach across above the baffle to the railing. The area that they access is right next to the door. So I see this coon on the deck, and I open the door & holler at him. He's too scared to go past me to where he climbed up, so he hauls his fat little butt up onto the opposite railing and literally launches himself off the railing, spreading his legs in full belly-flop form - to maximize drag, I suppose. It's a good 15 feet from the railing to the ground. No sign of him on the ground tho, so he must have made it.

Was working up in Sioux Center, the best darn Nachos I've ever had are at four brothers sports bars. They use some type of marinated roast, pickled peppers, etc... queso cheese and a drizzle of that green sauce.
They are easily the best restaurant Nachos that I've had.
