My favorite coworker at work is exactly 20 years younger than I am. I call her my “Little buddy”. I think I am her favorite coworker as well. Sometimes she declines lunch dates with young guys so she can have a fun and relaxing lunch with “Uncle John”, that’s what she calls me.

One day we were talking about how old I was – like we often do for fun. Then she told me about this exclusive club named Pen 15. “Either you’re in or out. But, I think you are too old to even know about it” she stated.

“10-15?” I asked. “Nono.. Pen15,” she said… “Ah~ let me show you. Give me your hand.” So I gave her my hand.

This is what she wrote on my hand (below)

“You suck!” I yelled at her. “Hahaha! I owned you!” she laughed.

I recently bought a computer desk for $30, and a 7up crate for $5. I bought both of them at garage sales. I used 7-up crate to hide a massive amount of clutter. Inside the crate, I put two external hard drives, a fan to cool the hard drives, an extension cord, 3 AC adapters, and a lot of wires.

*The black box on top of the 7up crate is a battery backup system for my computer.

Here’s a picture of my master bathroom, AKA bathroom #1

I only buy Q-Tips and body lotions from Costco.  3 packs of Q-Tips last about 3 years. I take about 10 minutes to put the Q-Tips neatly in the container as pictured.

I got colognes over the years for various reasons. The oldest bottle of cologne is Tuscany. I received it about 27 years ago from a girl who had a crush on me. Bottle of Gucci is 20+ years old.

I rarely wear colognes. Sometimes I wear cologne on Sunday when I’m home alone. Colognes are like music. Some people will love your smell. But it will make a lot of people gag. So, please think twice when you wear perfumes or colognes to work. I guarantee you some of your co-workers are talking about your smell behind your back.

Sometimes, I wear fragrance when I’m with a female companion, but ONLY after she approves the smell.

I like Diet Coke. In fact, I like soda of any kind. They taste so good and I have a huge craving for them. I also know they are bad for me. I drink soda once or twice a month. I wish I can quit soda completely. 

I’ve been drinking soda water from Sodastream I bought at a garage sale ($2). It’s been satisfying my craving for Diet Coke somewhat.

Merry Christmas

Here are some pictures of my cubicle at work. I wasn’t able to enjoy Christmas last 2 years, but I’m back stronger than ever. I’ve been having so much fun so far. It’s been glorious. I am sad that the season is almost over. But we still have 2 more weeks to enjoy.

Who cares if Christmas was created by greedy corporate people? I thank God for greedy corporate people.

Some people try to make it a point NOT to celebrate Christmas, so they can stand against the culture molded by capitalistic “pigs” – and they hope I would avoid these 2 months of absolute joy every year. All I can say to them is… Merry Christmas~!!!

Sorry about my late upload. 

My turkey came out very good.

Turkey was from Costco. And everything else you see on the plate was from Costco as well. Half of the bird is vacuumed and frozen.

Kitchen Towels Suck – all of them

I don’t know why people buy, sell, & use kitchen towels like these. Yes, I own several of them myself (picture below).  But these towels SUCK!. They don’t perform well as I want them to. They are too small and thin that they quickly become soaking wet. They need to be thicker and larger. Dish towels have been around for many years… but am I the only person with this complaint?  Are you guys happy with your dish towels?

I keep some dish towels just because I want to follow the tradition. I may even use them when I have formal guests. But what really works for me is bathroom hand towels (28 to 30 inches long).

I don’t know what kind of dishtowels you guys use. To me, nothing even comes close to bathroom hand towels, and I will continue to use them in the kitchen.

FYI: The towels I use in the kitchen are from Costco.
