What Your 16-Hour Workday Says About You!
jessiechar:
You’re a really hard worker
Your time is poorly managed
You don’t know what to do with your life
Your boss knows you’re gullible
At least 40% of your diet consists of pre-packaged food
You send out work emails at inappropriate hours
You have no perspective on life
You don’t sleep enough for proper brain function
You have very little self-respect
Your salary should be higher,...

There’s a cave in France where no humans have been in 26,000 years. The walls are full of fantastic, perfectly-preserved paintings of animals, ending in a chamber full of monsters 1312-feet underground, where CO2 and radon gas concentrations provoke hallucinations.
It’s called the the Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc Cave.The walls contain hundreds of animals—like the typical Paleolithic horses and...

“Amid empathy and concern for Jobs’ health problems, amid awe at the gifted...”
– Gawker’s RYAN TATE, on why Apple should fully disclose CEO Steve Jobs’s state of health.
Apple’s weighing patient privacy versus the fate of what is arguably one of America’s great companies. Purely from a business standpoint, this seems to be a tough call, and one the company seems to have made. ...
We just opened our third bottle of wine today - the first two were champagne. There are only two of us. This Monday rocks! So far, we’ve had mimosas, then when we ran out of orange juice we had a bottle of champagne. Then I took a nap, and now I’ve got a glass of Pinot grigio in front of me. I love my life.
(And yes, I’m aware that tomorrow is probably gonna suck. It’s a...

Hey tumblrs...
I realize Saturday morning probably isn’t the best time to be posting this, but one of my oldest friends needs some help. Her husband has been unemployed for over a year and they have three young kids and they’re just drowning. He is a dietary manager for hospitals and nursing homes, and at this point they would move just about anywhere if it meant getting him a job that could...

Oh wait! Ophiuchus is the ‘dragon bearer’? I remove my previous objection to having it as my new sign.
What the what? I’m not a sagittarius anymore? I’m a Ophiuchus? (Actually on the cusp between Ophiuchus and Scorpio.) how do you even pronounce Ophiuchus???
I must apologize
For I have been the worst tumblrer ever these past few weeks.
First, I went on a trek to the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania for Christmas and spent 4 days with the fiance’s family (hint: they’re not at all like my family!) and I didn’t even tell you about it.
Then, a bunch of transformers blew up on the power lines on my street, knocking out power for nearly 12 hours and I...
I always wondered about this...
In the middle ages, illiterate people signed their names on official documents by drawing an “x” and kissing it to make it authentic—hence the symbol of “x” for a kiss in “xo.”
FACT: That horse actually did have a name. It was...

Nobody had the heart to tell Neil Young.
And this is why I have had that song in my head for the last week.
And it still makes me giggle.

So. Much.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Worst. Game. Ever.
Who wants a New Year’s card from yours truly? I’ve got cards. I’ve got stamps! I’ve got time to write fun things on them! All I need is an address to send it to! Want one? Hit me up in my ask hole!
So the fiancé and I ordered waaaayyyyy too many new years cards. (What? It’s the new year. We’re not THAT late!) Anyway, they just arrived today so we’re sending them out tomorrow and does anyone want some mail? Because I’m just itching to send these out into the world. If you want one, hit me up in my ask hole. :)

From Karen Walrond’s, “The Beauty of Different”
It is never a mistake to try something, even if it doesn’t work out the way you planned.
You can never get in trouble by thoughtfully, respectfully speaking your mind.
It’s never too late to change who you are, as long as by doing so you’re…
