If you could choose the manner of your death, what would it be? I think I'd like to be dismembered by a runaway backhoe. Seriously... Who's not gonna answer this question with, "Peacefully, in my sleep?" *The Question of the Week can be found in The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock, Ph.D.

The Interview Process
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
Question of the Week #49
While parking late at night, you slightly scrape the side of a Porsche. You are certain no one else is aware of what happened. The damage is minor and would not be covered by insurance. Would you leave a note? There was a time when I would say no, I wouldn't. My logic would be … Continue reading Question of the Week #49
Binging Parenthood
Did I type that right? When you binge watch something, are you binging the show? Because that looks like it should be pronounced bing-ing. Like Googling, except you, for some reason, use Bing. Why you'd do that to yourself, I don't know. But what I want you to hear in your head when you read … Continue reading Binging Parenthood
Sweet
7-year-old Stephanie stood on her tip-toes, desperately trying to see the woman in the trailer as she worked her magic. Her daddy looked down at her and smiled, "Do you want to see how she does it?" Stephanie, in awe, only nodded her head. She felt the strong hands of her father lift her up … Continue reading Sweet
5 Reasons Why I’d Make a Bad Journalist

As much as I enjoy writing, I'd be lying if I said the thought had … Continue reading 5 Reasons Why I’d Make a Bad Journalist
The Confusing Middle’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015
I'm totally stealing this blog post idea from Jeff over at Notes From the Trail. He posted his own top 10 blog posts of the year recently. I meant to talk to him about it before I posted my own. I wasn't sure if he just looked at stats to see how many visitors each … Continue reading The Confusing Middle’s Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015
Gimme a Break
Kids, I'm gonna take the week off from blogging. The way I see it, I'm entering my second week of Christmas break, so I'd like to spend as much of it relaxing as I can. Not that blogging is a stressful activity. I find it to be a good stress reliever. But if I'm spending … Continue reading Gimme a Break
Two Hundred
Kids, this just happened... Now, I realize this might not be a big deal to, well, the majority of humanity. But it's kind of a big deal to me. Especially since I previously maintained a blog for over 10 years that never even broke 100 followers. In less than a year I've picked up 200 … Continue reading Two Hundred
Day Twenty Six
My Week, In Great Detail This will just be a typical week. Not a specific week that was. Granted, there's not really such a thing as typical. But I'll give it a shot. And it won't be as detailed as the incredibly boring day I described in yesterday's post. Sunday-- When you're on staff with … Continue reading Day Twenty Six
