Random discoveries

I know I haven't blogged in a while. Nor have I been good at keeping up with others. Nor being social, keeping up with good gossip, emptying the lint filter, blah blah blah...
...but I digress. It's been overwhelming, lately. But I thought I'd jot down a few helpful tidbits I've picked up over the last couple of weeks. You never know when some of these will come in handy.
For instance...
Sunday night is still hot single guy night at the grocery store.
Any time someone starts a sentence with, "Hey, I think you should ask so-and-so about....." ....just don't.
Rockstar and Riesling are not friends.
The false eyelash glue people have a different concept of waterproof than the rest of the world.
Just because there are other people in the house, that doesn't mean you can't drink alone.
Good friends generally know which men to hate and which ones not to hate on your behalf.
If you're going to volunteer to help friends move, make sure you ask how many other friends they have.
Humiliation isn't pretty.
If you have a two-hour training conference call at 1:30 pm, it's not the right day to break down and let the cute guy from down the hall take you out to lunch at the newly remodeled Chinese restaurant down the street. Unless you have a caffeine IV handy. Which I don't.
Wearing really low-cut tops to work is a constant source of amusement when you work in an office full of uptight men.
If you really want to know the answer to a question, don't ask it. If you don't care, then ask away.
Chicken wings are the single most pointless food on earth.
There are many different definitions of okay.
Mosquitoes are actually very attracted to the smell of DEET.
I have successfully reached a point at which I am completely incapable of effectively expressing meaningful emotions. I win.
This, too, shall pass.
You can actually fit at least 14.339 gallons of gas into a 14 gallon tank.
The best time to test a tornado alarm in an office building is four days after the front doors implode in a storm.
Some people you never thought would grow up actually do.
There is always room on your elbow for another bruise.
I think that's all for now. Feel free to add your own pearls of wisdom. I can use everything I can get.
