Workplace ecard: Companies are always looking for someone who can think outside the box. They like to hire them, and force them to not think outside the box.

About This Card

‘One time in a job interview someone asked me if I could think outside the box. Now, if I’d said YES I’d be thinking INSIDE the box, which is tantamount to saying NO. So I said, have you ever woken up to find a Chinese man licking your foot? Then they got uncomfortable and the interview ended. My point is, the world is a confused place. And the fact I’m not confused doesn’t make it any easier.’

from the newsletter

Most of my days, I stumble around in a fog, doing chores and cooking and swearing whenever I accidentally rotate my left arm while reaching for something. How bad is it? Well, if I can recover mobility in my left arm, I’m taking up yoga.
