Yesterday I felt terribly smug about how my journal has become significantly less whiney in recent times. I sure set myself up for something, let me tell you. I had something akin to the adult version of Alexander’s Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day today.  It was a day of bungling, being thwarted, and […]

me: “I’m off for lunch…gotta deliver a possum and procure a false beard” boss: (raises eyebrows) oooh-kay me: It’s an artificial possum! The plush possum was a joke gift for a friend, and the beard is part of the weekend’s Halloween Festivities Extravaganza.

I was riding from my house to Landahl, I got caught in an uneven seam in the road, and subsequently saw the road coming to meet me very, very quickly. I ended up with a small cut on my forehead that bled with great enthusiasm, and road rash on my left cheek, left shoulder, left […]

When you realize, halfway to work, that you’re wearing two different shoes and you’ve forgotten your I.D. badge, what do you do? In my case, I soldiered on, knowing I’d look like an utter doofus and have my bag searched at the building entrance. I figured I’d rather be on time and look like a […]
