Word of the Day

INSIPID

Pronunciation: in-'si-p&d
Function: adjective
Etymology: French & Late Latin; French insipide, from Late Latin insipidus, from Latin in- + sapidus savory, from sapere to taste -- more at SAGE
1 : lacking taste or savor : TASTELESS <insipid food>
2 : lacking in qualities that interest, stimulate, or challenge : DULL, FLAT <insipid prose>

Definition number two really sums up what I’m feeling today about my job. Yes, thank you Lauren for choosing a profession that takes no interest in anyone with less than a master’s degree, even when there's no difference in knowledge…
