In recent months, I've been on the lookout for a new job. I still like the job I currently have. It's just that, lately, I've started to hate the job I currently have. I only sort of mean that. In my job, I work closely with kids in an elementary school. This part I love. … Continue reading The Interview Process
On the Job
Feeling the Burn
I don't like to complain. Because, for a long time, that's the guy I was. I was a complainer. For a long time, the vast majority of my old blog consisted of complaints. Mostly, those complaints were based on a job that I despised. But those complaints on my blog bled over into Facebook status … Continue reading Feeling the Burn
The Single Guy vs. the New School
Kids, it has been a crazy week. It's been a long week. The blessing of a Friday is not lost on me this week. I even had the day off Tuesday for Election Day and it still feels like someone, somehow, managed to cram two weeks worth of crap into this one week. On Monday, … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the New School
Just Call Me Transfer Guy
Is this a common thing for people? I'm really starting to feel picked on, but maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I should realize that this is just something that happens to people in their careers all the time and I'm just a part of the crowd. But, to be honest, it doesn't feel like I'm part … Continue reading Just Call Me Transfer Guy
The Perils of Pizza Delivery
You know, I never complained much about my time as a pizza delivery guy. Even though I held down that part time job, delivering pizzas on the side, for about two years, it never felt like I did it for that long. Odds are, it's because I only worked two or three nights a week. … Continue reading The Perils of Pizza Delivery
Book Fair
This week, the school is having a book fair. They've got the signs out in front of the school and posters advertising the sale of books in the library plastered throughout the halls. It's got me kind of nostalgic. I know I've said in my About Me section that I love to read, but that … Continue reading Book Fair
Student Government
Generally speaking, I don't pay much attention to politics. I know I should pay closer attention to things because I'm a big fan of the right to vote. When Election Day comes, it would be nice to make an informed decision regarding the candidates and the offices for which they're running. But I quickly tire … Continue reading Student Government
Pizza Delivery Deathmatch
I've mentioned previously that, back in my bank tellering days, I delivered pizza part time to help make ends meet. One night, an interesting thing happened on my last delivery of the evening. I took a couple pizzas to a man who was waiting for me on his front porch when I arrived. Several of … Continue reading Pizza Delivery Deathmatch
6 Reasons Why Pizza Delivery Is Better Than Banking
When I was a bank teller, I also delivered pizza to help make ends meet. Because banks pay their tellers very little to take a lot of crap from horrible people. It's a sad world, the world of banking. Anyway, when I was working both jobs, I noticed that the part time delivery gig held … Continue reading 6 Reasons Why Pizza Delivery Is Better Than Banking
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
