CHASE MITCHELL
I started reading today’s Apple announcement on my cool state-of-the-art MacBook Pro, and finished reading it on my stupid obsolete MacBook Pro.

Your Work E-mail is What?
• I’m employed at a computer security company and have a colleague whose name is M. Alware. His e-mail address is malware@company.com.
• My ex-boss’s name is R. Stone. His e-mail was stoner@company.co.in.
• My name is James Pan. Every other permutation of my name was taken (e.g., jpan, jamesp), so I’m stuck with japan@university.edu.

Wearing Husband Goggles
The party’s host paid me a great compliment. “You are a good-looking woman,” he said. “Honest—I’ve had only one beer.”
My glow was only slightly dimmed when my husband interjected, “Imagine how great she’ll look after two.”

The Problem With New Jeans
I was at the customer-service desk, returning a pair of jeans that was too tight.
“Was anything wrong with them?” the clerk asked.
“Yes,” I said. “They hurt my
feelings.”

Good morning everyboomie.
Welcome to Hump day. We're almost half way through the week.
That means you're supposed to do everything half way today.
Not a whole lot gets done at work on Wednesdays. Good thing I don't work today.
In that same spirit though, I have half a mind to do only half the things that I had planned to do today.
Those I'll do half-assed.
Have a happy day everyone.
