Phone battery dies at 4pm on the express bus every single day now

Realize that logging off at 4:10 when your shift ends at 4:25 is actually a bigger deal than you might think, and bosses notice patterns like that fast. Maybe try catching the 4:20 or 4:25 train instead, even if it means standing for a few stops, since that keeps your work hours clean and still beats the worst crush.

Good week at the DMV, seriously, finally got my placard renewed

Gotta say, Fresno is usually a mess, but maybe they finally fixed something.

Found $47 in leftover cash after our grocery audit last week

Cilantro is the ultimate grocery scam, it taunts you from the crisper drawer for a week then turns into sad green slime. The fancy cheese thing hits hard too, we all think we're gonna be bougie but really we just want shredded cheddar. Maybe your cilantro and my overpriced goat cheese are living together on some farm upstate, never getting eaten. At least you caught it before buying a third bunch, that's the real win. Soon we'll all be auditing our spice racks and realizing we own three different kinds of paprika for no reason.

PSA: That photo of the Andromeda Galaxy I took looked like a blurry blob until I tweaked one thing

Third night out with my new 8 inch dob I spent two hours fighting with the focus knob and got maybe three usable shots of Jupiter. Then my buddy handed me his Bahtinov mask and I got sharp focus on the first try. The diffraction spikes lined up perfect and I finally saw what everyone meant by crisp detail on the bands. Now I keep the mask in the eyepiece case so it's always with me. Total night and day difference for planetary and lunar shots.

Heard two women at the library comparing how they rate movies on a 1-10 scale

That's a lot of mental energy to spend on a number you forget five minutes later. Maybe just say if you liked it or not and move on with your life.
