HOT HOT TOPICS
– what is the most nonsensical way you’ve seen to get christmas gifts home on a plane?
– celebrating the new year happens too late in the day. staying up past midnight gets so much harder as we get older. perhaps it is time to have new year’s eve celebrations at 8:30 pm so we can be in bed at a reasonable hour.
– I’m staying at an airbnb. is business time™ allowed there?
– when do you you change from driving to taking a plane? i.e. how far, how many people, etc.?
– best meal this year. be specific (it can’t be “cheese” it could be a cheese board with three goat cheeses, salami, and rye bread from this one place)
– why do we even have new year’s in january? couldn’t it be any day? maybe an astronomical event like the solstice? or maybe when it’s nice outside so we can see people? if you had the power, when would we celebrate new year’s?
– I declined a promotion recently because I wasn’t happy with the offer. the second time, I said maybe. it seems like I am in the position of power in the negotiations, so I’m going to shoot for the sky. I don’t think there is enough of this mentality and approach in the workplace nowadays.

HOT HOT TOPICS
– the classic xmas movies – are they really that classic or is nostalgia just super heavy this time of year?
– as crappy as things can be, we aren’t completely boned.
– nah, we’re completely boned.
– I wish to see our government grow a few braincells and realize that a life insureance policy that is focused on making sure your family can put you in the ground without having to beg on social media is not a money gaining scheme and stop screwing over folks who require gov aid to live.
– in the long line of “good ideas” where do you put “coming to the ugly christmas sweater themed christmas party in a skimpy dress and loudly complaining that the person you want to sexually harass isn’t there”?
– how do you survive being one of like three sober people at a company christmas party?
– “elf” is getting worse and worse on how it holds up. back in the day as a kid it was the bomb. but it’s started becoming cringe more and more as the years go by.
– how is it somehow everyone elses fault but yours when youmake the choice to NOT read the packet of info detailing the $40 monthly payment you just signed up for and suddenly you realize that there are problems with it?
– 2022 was a year full of really shitty things that happened. it also was the year in which I experienced some of the best moments of my entire life. formal request for 2023, more of the latter, less of the former. pretty please and thank you.
– if you can’t beat them, why would you join them? that just sounds like bad philosophy. imagine if hitler won ww2.
