Hotels for the win

In front of his family too!

It ain't easy

This is a job for the Treasury Secretary of the United States

It's hard work

Another one for the evil boss files

I love staying in hotels. There's something so fun and novel about living in a clean, liminal place that's not a home or an apartment for only a few days. It makes me feel like I'm starting anew.

One of the lamest things about working is the inequality of it all. Somebody can have the exact same job as you, work as hard as you, and have comparable experience to you and still get paid more for some reason.

I feel bad for people with highly scrutinized professions, like teachers, who need to drive an hour away to feel comfortable going to a bar.

Teachers aren't the onl…

Puriteens are at it again

How ungrateful can you be?
