Work Gets to Everybody

This week, I’ve been working like a Hebrew slave. I started the week off right at my store, selling 2 Blockbuster Online Pre-Pay Cards and 4 Blockbuster Rewards memberships. The following morning I sold another online, making me the seller of 3 out of the 4 for our goal for the week. My boss bought…

On Sleep

“Whoever said ‘You can sleep when you’re dead,’ hasn’t met me.” –Grey’s Anatomy I’ve been feeling a little like my low-fuel light has been on the last few days. I took a nap after work yesterday before our staff meeting, and that seemed to be enough to carry me through the evening. I don’t know…

On Edge

A little on edge today. So many things are going on in my head. So many things to think about. So many things unseen. So many things linger on the edge of becoming – I remember this feeling: It’s like waiting for morning on Christmas Eve. I know a lot of people who call Jeremiah…

Life is… Beautiful.

Jesus is so good to me. I just can’t say it enough. Things have been hard through this winter, but He’s been faithful. You better give mad props to Jesus, because He’s the reason I am at all. I almost did something to get fired last night. I’ve already had one pre-street (movies that aren’t…

Get Back Up Again

WHAM. When you get hit by paintball guns (not that I have), I’ve been told it hurts a lot, depending on where it hits you. Life does that sometimes. The number one leading cause of death, is life. While a lot of things in life hurt a lot, like a paintball, most of them won’t…

You can play Katamari Damacy online on any flash-enabled browser. Alas, productivity, I knew thee not. Sit back in your commercial office chairs and control your katamari (a small…

Stick it to “The Man”

Last night, after two days of playing detective with payroll, I finally got two phone numbers. One was Barry, the HR director of the entire North East region of the United States for Blockbuster. The other was Debbie, who was apparently just the regional assistant director. I always thought it’d be best to call the…

Tip: Get Free Music

From Pandora.com: Can you help me discover more music that I’ll like?Those questions often evolved into great conversations. Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now their personal DJs. We created Pandora…

A Winter Dunderland

The Seahawks lost. I was mad. I’m glad I didn’t bet money on them though. God’s definitely blessing me lately. He always does, but it’s one of those times when I notice it just a little bit more. I’ve been going through some hard things lately. It’s rough growing up, taking care of yourself. A…
