10 Ways to Know I’m Old

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

There’s No Reason

Caution: This post is a vent session. If you don't want to read my current complaints, go somewhere else. Do you ever have days where you just don't want to be around people? Do you ever have a bad day when there's just no logical reason for it to be bad? That's the kind of … Continue reading There’s No Reason

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

The Next Step

Originally written in June of 2011... Once upon a time... That's how these things begin, right? With a "once upon a time," followed somewhat closely by a "happily ever after..." Well, if you want happily ever after, you're in the wrong place. I can guarantee the once upon a time, but this tale does not … Continue reading The Next Step

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

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
