Hello. My name is Aaron... and I'm a dropper. It's only been a few hours since I last dropped something. This morning as I reached into the drawer for a pair of socks, as soon as I picked them up, I dropped them on the floor. I swore under my breath as I bent down … Continue reading Dropper

Working in a school setting, I get excited by the prospect of extra days off. See, as much as I enjoy the work I do, it's still work.

Question of the Week #43
When were you last in a fight? What caused it and who won? I think I was in 5th grade. It was the only real fight I've ever been in. And it wasn't so much a fight as it was me getting beat up. By a girl. That's right, I got beat up by a … Continue reading Question of the Week #43
Nothing I Love More…
...Than having to pay for someone else's mistake. Yesterday, I got a notice in the mail informing me of a lack of payment on my personal property tax.
