HOT HOT TOPICS
– why do I care so much about things I have no influence over and try to change anyway?
– oOoOoOoOoOoO I’m speaking to you from seven days… IN THE PAST! OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
– have you ever forgotten what it feels like to be sick? like, it’s been SO long since you’ve been sick, that you forgot what it felt like. and when was the worst you’ve ever felt?

– an unorthodox example of a hot topic could be the recent surge in popularity of niche hobby or interest. for example, there has been an increased in interest in “plogging” (a combination of jogging and picking up litter), which has led to organized plogging events and even plogging competitions in some areas. another example could be the recent trend of people building their own tiny homes and living in the full-time, which as led to a growing movement and discussions about alternative housing options.
– the moment when you realize lunch is about 30min out and you have no plans, you order a sandwich from a local place down the road and after an extended call you check back on the status of your order…and you see the driver leaving your neighborhood (like i can hit his house with a rock from my house) to go get the food. its 15 min past your lunch start time….not sure where i was going with this… WHATS YOUR FAV LAST MIN FOOD FOR LUNCH?

– if you are a low level peon working in a financial role and they decide to just dump all the responsibility of the multi billion dollar companies 1099s on you are they confident in your abilities or looking for a scapegoat they can tie a rock to and watch drown then blame for all the companies failings?
