(8:03 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Again: Friday Afternoon Confessional
I confess that I don't take the expiration date of milk as seriously as I perhaps should.I confess that I have jury duty on March 13, which is only for one day unless I get selected for a jury. I confess that I hope my pursuit of a PhD will make me an unsuitable jurist, at least for a very long trial.
I confess that I'm a little annoyed that I have to go to the post office for 2¢ stamps before I can mail my bills.
I confess that I've really sucked at chess lately.
This is more a prediction than a confession: I confess that once online dating becomes really widespread and the algorithms become more and more accurate, there will be a whole new series of neuroses wherein people beat themselves up because they can't even make the scientifically proven relationship work.
I confess that even though I don't want to clean up the spot where the psycho cat peed, I'm going to, because having a urine-soaked Amazon box in the dining room is decidedly uncool.
I confess that I need a new bookshelf. I'm already using the tops of both of my bookshelves as a makeshift shelf, and the beginning of the new semester has brought with it the dreaded horizontal stack.
I confess that I am feeling happier lately than I have felt in a long time, and it's a little worrisome.
