ATTENTION EXTROVERTS:  I am begging you people.  Begging you.  Find a podcast you like and listen to it while you drive to the store, walk the dog, do your errands, or complete whatever task requires some amount of apparently unbearable alone time.  Stop calling your favorite introvert just to chat.  STOP IT.

Well identified!

And nothing did stop that crappy Uber driver from blasting his music, which was normally much worse than this 80′s classic, because I am an individual of weak will.

(Insert nothingsgonnastopusnow.gif, but for the shitty Tumblr GIF engine...)

You all also missed the glory that was my driver Roxbury Guy’ing along with something much, much worse.

1) You're all awesome 2) Two max is about where I'm comfortable in work-social events. But those are usually in restaurant bars. I haven't gone out to a ball game for hours on end with co-workers and bosses and boss-bosses. 3) @vanpocalypse Boss-Boss is pretty cool. Also admittedly a bit... frat boy might not be the best term, but I'll stick with it. So I doubt they'll get trashed, but they will likely outpace me. 4) And now it appears I'll be driving my boss. We are carpooling. So now I'm definitely capped at 2, ending somewhere around the 2nd inning, and I also want to clean my car. And burn it. Then buy a new one.

@palmtreepalmtree: My feeling on Jared is that this started as a convenient way to get revenge on Chris Christie that he figured would come to an easy end when Trump crashed and burned. Then it got real and now he's power hungry. In a larger sense, there's this thing where Jared and Ivanka (or people directly dispatches by them) keep "leaking" to the NY Times about how they're the ones trying to stave off the really bad stuff. And whenever the really bad stuff happens, the leaks say that they either lost that round to Priebus or Bannon, or that they decided to hold onto their political capital for something more important. All they're really doing is trying to manage their "brands" so they can be "business leaders" over the next 40-odd years.

Thanks, @palmtreepalmtree. I do not take one ounce of credit for the idea, a Cubs fan started doing this before I did when they traded for Aroldis Chapman during the 2016 season. I merely copied her efforts.
