The fun part of life

We all know that we have to work to live, unless you’re one of those bastards who are born rich, in which case, screw you. We live for the days off. That’s what I’m at again today. Living my life the way I want it to be lived. Last night I got to chat with […]

Casualty of Job

The following post is just to catch you all up on my story, so you’re not left wondering what the hell I’m talking about in my future posts. My previous job, as an engineer in a corn ethanol facility, was filled with danger. There’s the inherent dangers of any industrial environment, like big heavy things […]

I’m back from not caring

A couple of years ago I stopped making posts on this blog (you can see exactly how long ago by seeing the date of my previous post), because I was pretty sure I had nothing to contribute. At the time, I was right about that. I can’t be sure that I’ll be any better this […]

Bad Medicine

At work today, I noticed that someone had put up a chart with medical ‘facts’ listed on it. Some sounded plausible, others were not so plausible. None of them had citations or any hint as where to look for confirmation. Here’s the link to said chart: http://keyhomeschool.org/files/Health_Chart.pdf I needed guidance on what to do with […]

Gonna Fly

I love traveling. I just finished a work trip to the place my heart calls home. It was difficult to leave the friends I have there, and it’s more difficult knowing that I might never see some of them again. I’m at an airport on my way back. Flying alone away from friends is cruel. […]

Hey Look! No Readers!

Not that I expect any. I don’t advertise, nor have I even told my friends or even my wife about this blog. I am just writing stuff down. I may have to get my act together, though. I just realized today that this month is NaNoWriMo. I am writing a novel. I use that phrase […]

I Am Batman

No, I haven’t been playing that game for way too long. I’ve already beaten it. It was fun, but too short. Here’s how it really is: I’m home in Worthington now for the Labor Day weekend. And the moment I get home, I see the door to the house propped open. It’s because there’s a […]

Creative writing, thy nemesis is Batman

I’m doing my best, honestly. I want to write this story, but I also got really smart and picked up Batman: Arkham Asylum. Guess what’s on hold. I’ll do my best to beat this game, and then I’ll do my best not to pick up any more games for a while. I have so many […]

Elevated

In my continuing rotation around the different departments at work, I spent my first day at the Elevator department. It’s not disclosing company secrets to say that the corn silos are really really tall. The superintendent was impressed that I was not freaking out about being up so high, while only having some see-through pieces […]

Time to tidy up

This only happens once a month here. My trophy wife is able to make it over from her place to my place and we can see each other. She gets two weekends off a month, so one weekend I go over, and the other she comes here. That means I have to clean. My apartment […]
