Friday Bitch & Brag
March 21, 2025 - The Spring(ish) Edition: bloodwork, inside jokes, and mousies
Access to The Corinne Channel is for paid subscribers and features a roundup of what I’ve been consuming over the past week, from eats & drinks to media. It’s included at the end of each Friday Bitch and Brag.

I thought I’d have this week’s B&B done earlier today, as I took the day off, but the nap bus came to collect me for a three-hour tour. Let’s circle up!
Bitch: On Monday we had a surprise guest in the teachers’ lounge: a mouse scurrying from under the vending machines toward the trash cans. Several teachers who witnessed it freaked out…
Brag: …but I stayed cool and notified Mr. Johnson, the head custodian, who put out a sticky trap later that day. I also teased my colleague, Ms. Davies*, with Mickey Mouse GIFs and my best Mickey impersonation for the rest of the week.

Bitch: It took two attempts to get gas at Royal Farms because several of their pumps weren’t working and their card readers at the pump weren’t working either. I knew that particular location was janky but sheesh.
Brag: More inside jokes with colleagues, this one with Ms. Castillo*, one of the counselors. We started dancing in one classroom while an upbeat pop song was playing during a transition period, and now we are having little dance parties when we see each other to help get through the day.

Bitch: My arm hurts from getting my pneumococcal vaccine at my physical today…
Brag: …but the phlebotomist who did the blood draw was so good I didn’t even feel the pinch of the needle, and I usually do. Thank you, Miss Rita!
