I absolutely can't stand corporate jargon and it is rampant where I work. So today I made a "Corporate JARgon" jar and started things off by putting a couple dollars in. I added some fine print that says "Proceeds go to High School Wrestling Team" and a homie came by and put a $10 in it! It started as a callout for people saying stupid office things and turned into a fundraiser

Brilliant.....Congrats.
I used to work for a tech company working out of Princeton, NJ. Once a year, we had to do forecasts for the following fiscal year. On one occasion, there was an F-Bomb jar, proceeds of which went to one of the sales admins who was expecting a baby.
When it was my turn to present, I made sure she got a fuck ton of cash from me..........

@Giles Love it. You gotta have fun with it.
Extra clever that the word in question was the direct cause of the pregnancy. -

I started the presentation by playing this....

Anyone on here a part of their local IATSE? I work occasionally with 915 as a Stitcher/Dresser/Wardrobe Assistant in Nashville, and just curious if anyone else here did similar work.

@SKT I feel like since they crammed AI into everything, the internet's really gone to shit...

@SKT just saw the text version as a bumper sticker and was like wtf

I can't really allow myself to buy IH regularly - cash flow, financial responsibilities, consumerism etc. However, when I make a purchase, I get all there more excited waiting for the parcel to arrive. I came to enjoy waiting for DHL quite a bit - if it does not take too long though :).

Was having a convo with a friend the other and was curious what you all had to say. We were talking about how everyone seems to have a handful of websites that they check daily or weekly. Like their own little grounding bubble of sanity on the internet. What are yours?
Not including stuff that you have to check daily for work, like email or whatnot.
Mine would probably be:
IH Forum
FB Marketplace for deals/free stuff
a couple vinyl record trading forums
Depop/Grailed/eBay (just search every couple of days for the same handful of keywords)
Sometimes ValetMag, but lately I haven't been as interested in their daily writeupsWants List:
IHSH-20-Red, XL
IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
IHSW-45 Black, M
IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
IH-777S-SB size 32

Sometimes ValetMag, but lately I haven't been as interested in their daily writeupsI do a bit of Instagram but that’s manly food, wine and travel stuff and the IH Forum, of course, that’s all. I have a couple of podcasts investment and stock market related I listen to daily.

I wake up in the morning and read Heather Cox Richardson’s blog on Substack. Then I usually glance at Facebook and instagram, realize they both suck, and head to the IH forum. I will usually search for IH on eBay, Grailed, depop, marrkt, poshmark and the real real, but don’t spend any other time on those sites. I used to check them daily, but my closet is now ludicrously stuffed with more things than I wear, which is problematic.

Anybody ever go down a rabbit hole on the forum and come across a banned member’s profile and start clicking through their posts trying to figure out what the hell happened?
Sometimes you’ll find a post from like 2012 and then the next reply is somebody else in 2024 and you’re just sitting there wondering what happened in those 12 years. I guess I’ll never know…
Happy Mother’s Day to everybody’s mothers, and to the memory of the ones no longer here with us today
Edit: My apologies to the mothers on here too. Hope you’re all having a fantastic day.

@northsouthdenimguy I find it funnier when it's a banned member that started a thread
but yes I have lol.

glad I’m not the only one
