The Hardest Lesson

Early last week, while I was doing my damndest at work while fighting off whatever horrible disease I’d carried home from traveling, another employee walked off the job. He was in the middle of doing something outside of the store and just left. He was AWOL for the rest of the week. Nobody heard from […]

Starting is the hardest part

Yesterday I had a day off. I decided to use it to write. And like my typical self, I always found something else to distract me from writing. Laundry, grocery shopping, just one more YouTube video. I really wasted a lot of time. I did eventually get going on the writing, and did you know what? […]

Spring

I’ve heard from an endless number of people that they can’t wait for winter to end. I don’t want to hear from the dumbasses out there who say that technically it’s spring now and that winter is over. Shut up. I’m not talking about the orientation of the Earth relative to the Sun. I’m talking […]

The Mistake Store

I work at the Mistake Store. Want to buy candy? Want to buy sugary sodas? How about chips or pizza or hot dogs? We’ve got that. Cheeseburgers fresh out of the microwave! It doesn’t even cross your mind, but you’re now one step closer to heart disease and / or diabeetus. Do you want to […]

Fever

I’m recovering from my illness, so I’m going to say very little today and instead take a nap. My woman and I were doing some traveling out in the Denver area, and we both came home with some kind of sickness. We each had different symptoms, so it probably wasn’t the same thing. I blame […]

Do Things

This post might get a bit more personal than others. If you’re not into that sort of thing, skip this one. I spoke a few days ago with a very good friend about nothing in particular, when we came upon the topic of doing things while you have the time to do them. I’ve puttered […]

Daylight Savings: The Dumbest Idea

I know, let’s arbitrarily shift time one hour forward. Why? For a reason, I’m sure. Something to do with farmers wanting more hours to work in the daylight, if I remember correctly, which I’m sure I don’t because it’s Ass O’Clock in the morning and I had to wake up even earlier in the morning […]

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Boris the Soviet Love Hammer

*If you get the two references from the title of this post, I love you* I’ve got little time today to discuss much of anything, so I’ll discuss only one person who I’ve really noticed at work recently. On this blog, I will call him Boris the Soviet Love Hammer. He’s not actually Soviet or […]

A little bit of everything

I know that I promised to write up a review of Stephen Blackmoore’s new book Dead Things, but I still need a little more time to think and edit the post so it looks all profound and stuff. Instead, I’ll tell you what I made last night. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. This is something I […]

Imagine Something Profound Here

There was a lot I’d planned on writing today, but my stay at the auto shop is taking a whole lot longer than I expected, and seems to be intent on holding on to me right up until work starts. I’m stuck here writing this on my phone. So instead I’ll remind you that you […]
