She just sat there minding her own business. She didn't know that Alex was sitting in the cubicle across from hers, awkwardly gazing in her direction. Maybe that's because she was actually doing her job. Meanwhile, Alex leaned on his hand with a goofy expression on his face. He was like a kid in school … Continue reading Cubicle Crush

Embarrassing or Entertaining?
Imagine that you're in a restaurant. You're there with a decent sized group of friends or family. You're all having a great time. You're talking and sharing stories and laughing at a reasonable volume. In a crowded restaurant, no one is drawing attention to you or your table. It's a pleasant afternoon or evening out. … Continue reading Embarrassing or Entertaining?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Top Ten List
For those of you who may be unaware, I have a deep and abiding love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Part of me would like to say that this is merely limited to a mild crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar, but that's just not it. In my humble opinion, it's a brilliant TV show. Thanks … Continue reading Buffy the Vampire Slayer: A Top Ten List
Close to Home
I'm a creature of habit. I dare say most of us are, whether we like to admit it or not. Growing up in Roanoke, Virginia, it seemed that we always had two choices for local news and weather.

Don’t Send In the Clowns
I know I recently posted an old commercial that featured a really scary clown. Well, a friend was kind enough to point me in the direction of these old gems. Enjoy. Or... you know... cower in fear... like I'll be doing over here in the corner as I hold tight to my security blanket.
You’d Think I’d be Used to It By Now
I go through this every year. The school year begins again and I'm forced to readjust my sleep schedule. I constantly have to convince myself that it's a good idea to go to bed early because I know I have to get up early the next day. But I'm not sleepy at 10:00 p.m. That … Continue reading You’d Think I’d be Used to It By Now
Going on a Job Hunt: Addendum
In considering yesterday's blog post about seeking another job, it occurred to me that there's another very large reason why I would like employment elsewhere. And that is because I'm certain that, if I am forced to continue making the drive every day on these back country roads where there are no apparent rules but … Continue reading Going on a Job Hunt: Addendum
Going on a Job Hunt
Kids, I'm torn. Throughout my life, the only times I've ever sought a change in employment has been when I've become unhappy with my situation. As things are currently, I'm not unhappy with my position. In fact, I still love my job. There are certain aspects of the job that frustrate me, but show me … Continue reading Going on a Job Hunt
9 Reasons Why I Should Have Stayed In Bed This Morning
You know you have days like this. It's not that you're suddenly pessimistic about life in general. You just begin the day and feel like each small choice you make has only done more to make the day a little worse. It's not every day, of course. But today just might have been one of … Continue reading 9 Reasons Why I Should Have Stayed In Bed This Morning
Yes
There was a time when I had a hard time saying no to people's requests. Someone would ask a favor and, not wanting to disappoint them, I would agree to it. I'd say yes without thinking. Even if it was something that I absolutely did not want to do. Even if it was something that … Continue reading Yes
