    People are getting caught up on Einstein but it’s not about that particular man. It’s about being someone that can change the world. That is exceptional. That is beyond talented.

    When I was little I realized this when I was going to school. Living in a poor neighborhood I used to watch boys do insane flips and shit like it was nothing. Like Olympic level flipping.

    And it occurred to me that no one but us would ever know how talented they were because nobody was checking for us.

    That’s a really sobering thing to realize as a kid.



  • I used the good old toaster in our closed department one morning just like always. But that morning my toast caught fire!

    My coworker put it out but the smell of burning toast permeating the entire floor of the building. Where the public walks around.

    Of course I hear “is something burning?” “Mommy I smell toast!” Etc.

    We pretended it didn’t happen when security came around. “What? I smell it too! That’s so weird!”

    Needless to say toasters were banned after that. We ended up getting a small toaster oven that’s better quality. Probably still not allowed but we like to live on the edge.
