Organizing the Unorganizable

Hi, I’m Matt. And I am not organized. Yes, I know, I should have told you to sit down before dropping that bomb on you. You may say to me, “But Matt, you write amazing posts every day and tell us about the cool shit you do all the time.” And I would reply to […]

And Thus Begins my Weekend

The last post was a bit heavy. This one is not so much. I recently discovered a state park near where I live. I just moved to this location, so I’m still exploring. This state park is not even a 5-minute drive, and it has some amazing forest trails. One thing about Iowa is that […]

Some more people I meet at work

Idiot Child with Brass Balls In this country (USA, FYI), there are certain substances that require you to be a certain age to purchase them. And when you are younger than that age, it can be difficult to obtain those things. A few of those youngsters come into the store in groups, pick out some […]

Do you work for the Red Queen?

I made it to a coffee shop, so here’s what I would have posted yesterday! I had an especially frustrating day at work. It’s nothing new. Everyone has frustrating days at work.

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 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 […]
