With my new internship, I had to write a draft of an educational reimbursement program since the company didn't have one yet. To make sure I did it correctly, I called the IRS to clarify some questions since you have to be a philosopher or a PhD to understand a good amount of the tax code. After holding for about 20 minutes, the person answering the phone said I had to talk to a different department. Of course, this meant that I had to hold for another 20 minutes. After finally talking to someone in that department, they said I had to talk to someone in another department. After holding for another 20 minutes, I talked to someone who specialized in what my question was about. They said they had to check on my question, so they asked me to hold for a bit. 10 or 15 minutes later, they came back. "Thanks for holding. So in answer to your question... ..." The call cut out... CLUUUUUUB!!!

The Origin of Club
The Origin of the word "Club" comes from years past when a friend was partaking of club soda. As he ingested his first sip, he soon realized that club soda is quite unsavory. Instead of discarding the remaining soda, he continued drinking it for the sake of drinking it. As he did so the word Club was born. We all participate in Club activities or situations. Have you ever been extremely full, but you still eat one more slice of pizza? You just Clubbed that down. Have you ever been miserable at a sporting event because of the blazing sun and you still didn't leave? That is Club. Do you want to experience something so Club it has been termed the "Club house"? Drive your car on a hot summer day with the windows shut and the heater on full blast for the entire duration of your voyage. That will give you a solid understanding of what club is. It is everything tedious, annoying, and obnoxious that you just have to endure during life. This blog is dedicated to all of those experiences that you just have to Club your way through.
