    Best Christmas gift I ever got my dad. He’s a huge Christmas Story fan. It came in a big crate filled with straw and everything, with “HIS END UP” and “FRAGILE” printed on the side. I think it’s a little smaller than the official one, but still pretty big.

    He puts it in the front window of his house every year.




  • Are you Winnie the Pooh? Because this is blustery as fuck.

    I work in health insurance, and I just can’t bear the thought that you and I might never be friends.

    But looking for a job is hard, and honestly this one is really good for me. It suits my narrow skillset, and it gives me a great work-life balance, which is the main thing I’m looking for while my kids are young. I quit my more demanding oil job to take this one so I could be there for them.

    But if you have some kind of plan for how I could reform the entire industry by quitting my job at the bottom rung of a middling insurance company, I’ll gladly do it. I could always go back to working in finance.

    Otherwise this is all just thoughtless, impotent bluster, untempered by life experience.

    In real life, most of the people who work at insurance companies are doing their best to keep the system running, because people do depend on it despite its flaws, and I don’t have any more power to change it than you do.
