Do you ever just wake up and go, “I’m not sure if I’m a douchebag… if only some amateur blogger would come up with a list of top 10 signs, so that I could self-diagnose my condition, and then go see a medical professional who would prescribe me some anti-douchebagulent pills. If only…” and then…
New Help at Work
Those of you who have read previously about my trepidation at work over our short-handedness, can now rest at ease much as I have. We hired on three hourly employees to fill the gap, at least for the summer, while we fill positions. My friend who was already on hourly, is about to step into…
Crazy Cross-State Trips are Awesome
Last weekend I went with a friend half-way across the state to help him move his sister out of her apartment and into a new one, due to some domestic problems with her boyfriend. Friday night, we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, and then Saturday we moved her and that night stayed at an…
Decision 2008: LOLObama or Presidential CATidate?
I saw this on Digg this morning and it made me laugh. Barack Obama just has this way of carrying himself, like he’s a real person. He doesn’t seem to have that air about him most politicians seem to have. He fits that picture in my head of a regular American who got fed up…
Warning: Crazy Weekend Ahead
This weekend I’m going with a friend halfway across the state to help his sister move across town. It’s a long story. But the neat part is, we’re leaving tonight, will stay in a hotel when we get there, move her tomorrow, then go hang out and stop at the hotel we stayed at back…
May Flowers Bring Sneezing Showers? Go Silk!
My mom loves to decorate her yard with plants and every so often has a professional landscaper come in and plant flowers and shape up the yard. When I was a kid, I had no allergies. The pollen didn’t bother me a bit. I didn’t wheeze, or cough, or feel nauseated when springtime rolled around.…
How Do You Put Away Savings?
In this era, you just can’t rely on social security for retirement. Also, when you’re my age, you might be thinking about the future: marriage, a house, kids, kids’ college funds, vacation money, hire a hitman for the in-laws money, etc. Or maybe you’re just thinking about how to get out of debt. Recently, I…
Gimme Some Sugar, Sugar
I’ve been diabetic for the last 8 years, at least. I was diagnosed in High School, and since then I’ve been doing my best to avoid sugar. I mostly stick to things that are salty, crunchy, or artificially sweetened. However, for the rest of you folks, did you know that most of the world’s sugar…
Old School BK (British Knights) Commercials
Jonesing for your fix of old school this week? You’ll remember where I posted earlier about BK coming out with a new line of shoes and bringing back revamps of the old styles. Here’s some commercials from back in the day, which was a Wednesday according to comedian Dane Cook: Source: Karmaloop
Reach Out and Touch Someone [Insert Sexual Harassment Claim Here]
Is it just me, or is the majority of America starting to become more and more disconnected from a place they might consider “home?” Busy business people often pick up and move from one city to another across the continent for a better life, without much regard for the town they live in. Is this…
