On March 8th I went home on my lunch break and took a full hour nap. On a March 10th my throat burned when I breathed, and I started coughing. The cough was deep, and felt like your knees do when you fall and scrape them on cement. I worked the full day used the … Continue reading Diagnosis: A Mild Hoax

Facebook Ads in the Time of COVID
I’m not a huge fan of Facebook, it’s filled with things like my mom’s former coworkers posting confusingly sourced, rage filled anti-hippie nonsense and my former coworkers requesting civility in Jesus’s name while posting “informal polls” that could insight violence, if not for the incantation. It’s a great place to find things to spend money … Continue reading Facebook Ads in the Time of COVID
Retail Therapy for Temporary Agoraphobes
As I shifted from the desk I set up in my kitchen to the couch fifteen feet away after I finished work today, I was struck by how I hadn’t stimulated the economy yet today. Hadn’t stimulated anything really. So I sat down on my couch and thought of all the things I “need” in … Continue reading Retail Therapy for Temporary Agoraphobes
Heartbreak Renewed: Dealing with the an Ex Moving On
Since the advent of the social media, our lord and savior, we’ve had the joy of keeping track of everything from the comfort of our asses.

The Art of Apology
Once upon a time, I was awaken by a text at 1:30 AM, this was no ordinary late night text, it was a call to arms over a friendship. Wake and fight or sleep and let 10 years go. I chose the latter (though if I'm being honest I didn't sleep and I didn't let … Continue reading The Art of Apology
Happy Hour Behavior
When your team needs some building you need to go with the coworkers and do what the group likes best, which if you are a teacher, banker, medical professional, student, food services work, or artist, is probably drinking discounted drinks.

How to Have a Baby and a Facebook Profile at the Same Time
I have to start this post by stating that I am not a person who owns children, of my own or purchased from someone else. I do have a Facebook profile. This post is written strictly from my observations of people who have it all as they say. I am aware that the challenges of … Continue reading How to Have a Baby and a Facebook Profile at the Same Time
Foot in Mouth Disease
Maybe you offered condolences before someone even learns of a loved one's passing or maybe you offered sympathy for a job offer not extended without knowing where the job actually stood. We've all done it, blurted out something to (or in front of) someone that you had no business saying. I can't tell you how … Continue reading Foot in Mouth Disease
Heal Thy Self
My days have become filled with news of horrible body failures that are shattering the lives of my Facebook friends. The sheer number of strokes that have struck down people my age and younger in the last month is something I should probably take as a strong warning, but I can't let an opportunity this … Continue reading Heal Thy Self
