If you've been following this blog for even a few days, you know that my birthday was this past Sunday. I continually attempt to trick myself into believing that I'm younger than I actually am. I do this by hanging out with a group of friends who are, on average, 10 years younger than me. … Continue reading 10 Ways to Know I’m Old

For What Job Am I Best Suited?
I almost titled this post "What Job Am I Best Suited For?" But then I didn't want someone to look at that and see the preposition at the end of the title and assume it was written by a complete moron. Don't get me wrong, I leave prepositions hanging at the ends of sentences all … Continue reading For What Job Am I Best Suited?
10 Things I Want for My Birthday
I guess I don't need to explain what this post will be about. The title is fairly self explanatory. But, if you haven't been able to surmise from my most recent Question of the Week or yesterday's ranking of previous birthday parties, my birthday is this Sunday. And while there have been some friends who … Continue reading 10 Things I Want for My Birthday
Riding the Monorail
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 Riding the Monorail
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
The Single Guy Bites a Bullet
The following tale is based on actual events which occurred several years ago... I've read a lot of things written by women in which they complain about how confusing men can be. To be fair, women can be equally confusing. Case in point... I was having a pretty good weekend. I had a lot of … Continue reading The Single Guy Bites a Bullet
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
Better Late Than Never
"You're fired," said Heather calmly. She stood behind her desk, leaning on her hands and staring at the scattered papers that lined the surface. Slowly, she looked up at Tommy, the young messenger who was clearly not understanding that he had just lost his job. "Wait... what?" Tommy asked, more confused than was usual for … Continue reading Better Late Than Never
Day Thirty
A Dream for the Future This seems really similar to yesterday's post. As I mentioned before, I'm not really one to plan for the future. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. And, while I don't necessarily think of myself as a pessimist, I'm definitely not an optimist. I joke around with … Continue reading Day Thirty
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
