The Legend of Darth Teller

In the world of banking, the people on the front lines of the industry are known as tellers. These are the people who are expected to help customers with all of their day to day banking needs. It is often a thankless and miserable position to hold. These are their stories. These are their legends… … Continue reading The Legend of Darth Teller

The Single Guy vs. the Awkward Email

We can all agree that it's awkward when someone wants to set us up, right? Which is more awkward: to be set up with someone locally? or to be set up with someone on the other side of the state? About a week ago, a coworker began telling me all of the wonderful qualities possessed … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the Awkward Email

The Dark Truth Behind Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

I absolutely love the John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off. However, for years, I've questioned whether such a day could actually happen without the help of time travel. One of my bucket list items is to try and recreate the events of Ferris' ninth sick day. I just don't think it can be done. … Continue reading The Dark Truth Behind Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

It almost seems inevitable at this point in history. The ugly Christmas sweater is something that people are proud to own.

But there was a drawback... Neighborly noise. The walls were pretty thin. And there was really no barrier between … Continue reading The Single Guy and the Noisy Neighbors

No Shave November

I realize that title will be a little misleading. I did not participate in any sort of "No Shave November" event. I also did not participate in "Movember" to raise awareness for anything. So I apologize who just clicked on my blog thinking you were getting a riveting tale of raising money and/or awareness for … Continue reading No Shave November

Fortunate Son

On the way home the other night, I decided I was craving some Chinese takeout. I had actually been craving it for a few days. There's this place next to the Food Lion here in town that's pretty good. I found out about this place over the course of several months because of the many … Continue reading Fortunate Son

Day Twenty Five

My Day, In Great Detail I thought about writing this post earlier in the day today and writing the details about yesterday. But I was at work. And, for me, work involves confidential information that I really shouldn't openly share on a blog. So you're getting my day today. It was the beginning of Thanksgiving … Continue reading Day Twenty Five

Day Twenty Three

A YouTube Video So this is the day when I'm supposed to post a YouTube video. Sadly, I don't have any decent YouTube videos of myself (yet). So I'll post this one. Seems fitting, what with Thanksgiving being this week and all...
