Man Returns to Work After Vacation with Rejuvenated Dread for His Job 😒

After returning from a two-week winter break, local accountant Richard Cranium told reporters Monday he was excited to return to the office with a "rejuvenated sense of dread." “It’s always great to step away, clear my head, and come back with a fresh wave of frustration toward my job and all its soul-sucking responsibilities,” said Cranium, 42, adding that his time off had prepared him to endure endless spreadsheets, tedious meetings, and his manager's hollow motivational speeches with renewed irritation.

“I’m feeling recharged and ready to hate every minute of my professional existence even more than before!” At press time, Cranium was grinding his teeth over a coworker’s overly loud printer.

😮 RARE VANILLA ICE SIGHTING IN PALM COAST

Much like the beloved Florida Skunk Ape it is very rare to catch a glimpse of the elusive Vanilla Ice in Palm Coast. The rumor around the campfire is that he lives here. Umm, Welllll, hmmmm… Anyway, this is a shot of what appears to be him in the woods. Shot by a local Bird Nerd out in the woods looking for birds. “Birding”.

“It was a crisp cool, morning around 7:30am and out of no where, in Matanzas Woods, I saw him! It happened so fast!!! I pointed my camera and clicked! I yelled ICE, ICE, BABY!!! and he took off like a bat outta of hell!” - Richard Cranium, “Bird Nerd”

Vanilla Ice Sighting!!

The Ghost Town of Ellaville Florida. 👻

This picturesque ghost town is located on the banks of the Suwannee River. Today, very little remains of Ellaville. The old bridge is there, and offers nice views of the limestone banks of the Suwannee River and the railroad bridge. If you hike on the Florida Trails that start at the parking lot and picnic area at the west end of the Hillman Bridge, you might catch a glimpse of some of the foundation of the Drew Mansion, though it's usually covered by vegetation. A flywheel from the sawmill is on display at nearby Suwannee River State Park. An old cemetery is located on River Road south of Highway 90. Interestingly, only a few of the town’s abandoned homes remain empty; a number of them — though lopsided, dilapidated and time-worn — have again become occupie

Breaking Bad Walter White's House For Sale ... Meth Lab Not Included 🧪

The suburban Albuquerque house famously featured on the show "Breaking Bad" is now on the market ... and the owners want some serious Walter White bucks for the property.

The 1,900-square-foot home with 4 bedrooms and one bathroom, featuring central air and a swimming pool, has an estimated $343,000 Zillow price tag -- but given how famous the property is thanks to the AMC series, the current owners are seeking a cool $4 million.

Since the series concluded in 2013, the property has been gated. That's due to fans throwing pizzas at the property in tribute to one iconic scene.

In a fit of rage in one episode, Walter throws a pizza that lands on the roof of the house, so knuckleheads kept trying to recreate the moment.

🤙🏾 WORD on the STREET

Newmes 💪🏽

Originating from the phrase “New Year. New Me”

It refers to the people who go to the gym and clog up the place after New Years. Only to eventually give up on their resolution by February.

Barry: “Look at all those Newmes going into the Planet Fitness.”

PCwire Challenge use “Newmes” in conversation this week!!
