Discovered something fun this week, in Norwegian the word for employer is "work-giver", but a bit of digging revealed that the alternative "work-buyer" existed but went out of use. I think people would sell their time and labor for more if the wording more clearly revealed the actual relationship.

Buying a dishwasher has been one of the best things I did past year. So much free time now, and cooking is a lot relaxing, knowing that you can make a mess and then leaving it cleaning in the dishwasher.

I'm waiting for a Roomba dishwasher where it roams around the house picking up dishes, washing them and returning them to the cabinets.

I don’t know if it needs saying, but getting a good quality one is the key. Cheap ones are noisy, wasteful, not durable, and do a poor job - to the point of having to partly wash your dishes before you wash them in the dishwasher. A good quality dishwasher will last, be quiet, and handle some pretty dirty stuff. That said, even commercial kitchen dishwashers don’t take everything off, so have some realistic expectations.

Your version was so sharp, I cut myself.

Do you need medical attention?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Hour+ commutes and dishes are huge issues.

8+ hours at work is also issue.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Yeah that commute is soul crushing. Did it for over a decade

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Even if they didn’t get to play, they still spent the whole day with a smile on their face - that’s more than what most of us can say…

Where does the mask end? Where do I begin?

That's my life...

If you stay awake a little longer, you don't get enough sleep.

That's where I'm at now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That’s why I sleep at work. It’s the most restful sleep because you sleep with a clear conscience, knowing you’re getting paid for it.

Hope your not a pilot or train conductor.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

I'm offended

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

One of these things is not like the others.

Don't do the dishes.

Omg, life... am I right?

Seinfeld: "What's the deal with doing stuff?"

Seriously. I keep seeing comics along these lines lately and they feel super boomer-esque in terms of humor.
