I was running late for work and spilled coffee all over my shirt

So I declared, 'It's not a stain, it's a metaphor for the chaos that is my life,' and walked into the office like I was accepting an Oscar

I saw a guy's Instagram story where he posted a photo of his homemade breakfast with the caption 'cooking for one'

which is just code for 'I'm trying to convince you I'm a functioning adult but really I just microwaved an egg'

My male colleague just got promoted for 'seeing the big picture' and being a 'strategic thinker.'

I'm still trying to figure out how to put 'remembered everyone's birthdays AND organized the entire company potluck' on my performance review.

My boss told me he really appreciates my 'calm presence' and 'ability to stay composed' during chaotic team meetings.

I think that's just a nice way of saying 'her internal screaming is so impressively quiet, you can't even hear it through her forced smile.'
