Sisyphus: A Symbol For Our Times



Sisyphus? Not heard that name in a long time.

Life CAN seem pretty Sisyphean,
both at HOME . . . 




Question: WHAT is this tp holder...

Answer: Pissyphus



. . . and at WORK.

Laughed at the cat.

And I thought it was just me who felt that way! PS It’s Btilliant Minds not Crimes.

Tom said...

...since I live in a cave, Sisyphus is new to me. Thanks!

There are times when I realize that the challenges I spent 25 years fighting, are still there and wonder "WHY!"

Sisyfitness!

And I'm in awe of your ability to come up with collections of random topics for blog posts.

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

... and now I want that TP holder.
I'll blame you when I bring it home, Debs!
LOL

XOXO

Too funny.

👏💪 I love the modern Sisyphus using drone technology, but I hope his mountain isn't in New Jersey...those paranoids will try to shoot down his drone and he'll be back at the beginning...again!! 🤪

At home, at work, in life... I guess we all relate!
Great memes, lots o lols

Janie Junebug said...

Sisyfitness would definitely catch on. Virtual classes would be on YouTube. Everyone would be talking about it all over social media. Can't a guy just be allowed to push a rock up a hill in peace and quiet anymore?

Love,
Janie

Great collection of memes!

roentare said...

The repetitive memes you present render the experience exceedingly motivating

Tundra Bunny said...

Such a fuss for Sisyphus.

Sisyphus meets Indiana Jones is practically my whole life!
Between a rock and a hard place

John M said...

I loved the post. I want one of those TP holders.

Joanne Noragon said...

No miss, all hits.

Mike said...

Finally, the last one, a solution!

Kirk said...

The Indiana Jones one tops this bunch.

Mary Kirkland said...

That tp holder is awesome.

Ah yes, the dangling of a student loan pay off. Oy vey.
Very relevant post, JJ.
Love you.

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said...

Oh emm gee, I called you JJ and not SWS. Silly, sysyphus me. I really did realize that now, which is my reason for the revisit. Haha. Forgive sysyphus me.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Rawknrobyn -- No problemo. "JJ" actually brings a fond memory back to me. In our home province, there was a restaurant called "JJ's" and my sister always said it stood for "Jism Jim's." It never failed to get a laugh out of me!

Haha. Your sis has a good sense of humor too. Thank you. You and this JJ (Janie Junebug) also have a similarly silly and clever wit. I'd just visited her blog, or was about to, and thus the mix up. From now on, the JJ initials will make me snort. I'm appreciative.

Polly said...

ha, ha, I like the working remotely. I want that toilet roll holder😀

It could have been worse. It could have been a ball of shit like a dung beetle.

Guillaume said...

My general feeling these days. Oh and Camus made Sisyphus trendy again.

roughterrain crane said...

I like the last Sisyphus.

Janie Junebug said...

May I be known as Jism Jim's now?

Love,
Janie

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Janie Junebug -- If you so desire, LOL! But "Janie Junebug" is a MUCH more appetizing name, I think.

baili said...

Sounds familiar to me because most of us feel the same way in day to day life.only difference is that curse comes from our own uncontrollable wishes that make us push the rock till forever sadly
