Boardgames! Tens of thousands of boardgames you’ve never even heard of!
There’s a sub culture of board game lovers who aren’t playing Monopoly or Scrabble. Check out the top rated board games at boardgamegeek. I just found out about this from my coworker, Phil. He and his friends have a new board game to play pretty much every week. w0000000000000!
You can change a BoltBus reservation!
I booked my return trip from Maryland for next Sunday and then remembered that I have Monday off for President’s Day. Well it turns out you can change a BoltBus reservation by calling up customer service. A $3 booking fee + $0.50 transaction fee later, you’re back in business 😉 This is a nice surprise because Bolt started out with no phone number, non-transferable, non-refundable, etc. Sure beats spending an additional $20-$25 on another bus ticket. Try doing that on China-town-bus. #bolting!
Them doctors are crooked vultures!
This is not a sweeping generalization. I like most doctors. But somehow, the only people on this earth who I seem to have disputes with are certain specialist doctors. I now know to question everything at the dermatology office on 57th street IF I go back there.
Vulture: “Would you like me to clean your pores while you are here?”
Me: “What does that entail?”
Vulture: “Oh, nothing much…I’ll just apply some pressure, it only takes a minute.”
[And then I bill your insurance $170 for “acne surgery”, they pay part of it and we bill you for the rest… but I won’t mention that part because I don’t want to spoil the surprise]
