    I don’t watch much “normal” TV (mostly Netflix, Prime, etc), but I happened to have the tv on network tonight. For the love of everything holy, every commercial now is “we’re in this together”, “you got this”, “we’re here for you in these difficult times”, “do your part, social distance”, and on and on and on and....

    Yep, what a bunch of BS.
    I won’t repeat THAT mistake any time soon...

    Another couple I get tired of hearing: "What do you make of that" and "At the end of the day".

    Is it the wording? What if they said "What's your opinion?" or "All that matters is..."

    I hate it when people say "It is what it is".


    I also hate people who say "...a person who needs no introduction..." and then they **** introduce the **** anyway.

    Exactly! :)
    ... or as a guy who worked for me a long time ago (at two different places -- come to think of it) used to say: "No matter where you go, there you are.
    I also hate people who say "...a person who needs no introduction..." and then they **** introduce the **** anyway.

    Won't make you feel any better, but I, too, used to get up at 4:45 am for work, every day. Mostly to stay ahead of as much of the AM commute as possible -- but also to have some quiet time at work to actually get some stuff done before someone opened the insanity spigot. :#

    Amusingly, though, even post-retirement, we got up at 4:45 every Tuesday morning, 'cause Mrs. H still goes (went) to the North Short to volunteer for MA Audubon every Tuesday.
    Probably goes without saying that we've been sleeping in on Tuesday mornings for a little while here of late (since Mrs. H got back from Colombia, in fact; late March).

    :p

    I hate it when I'm expecting to pay about 500$ to get the pool heater working and cleaned only to find out that the heater is toast!!! The new one should be arriving tomorrow and installed tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning.
