So my building lost power for two hours this morning, from around sixish (when I was supposed to get up) to about eight. Things I found out don’t work so well when this happens: Getting up: One of my alarms is on my cell phone, but that’s my emergency backup alarm and it doesn’t have ...

And in the Annals of Juvenile Jokes, we reach The Fortune Cookie Game, wherein you add “…in bed” to the end of any fortune you get. I just got this one, with my leftover chinese food: “Everything will now come your way.” After I stopped giggling like a fifth-grader at the double-entendre, all I could ...

“Meet Singles With Christian Principles.” There’s so many issues with this that it’s hard to know where to start, but I can take a couple stabs at it: a) I’m Jewish. Not terribly practicing, but still. I don’t think being Jewish is really a Christian principle. b) I’m gay. There are many people for whom ...

Pushing the wrong button. At my job, it can put a whole studio in the dark for an hour in the middle of a taping when a supervising producer accidentally hits a killswitch and doesn’t realize it until the fire marshal looks at it. At some people’s jobs, it has slightly worse consequences, like accidentally ...
