There’s this lady that has this shop downtown. I’ve walked past it hundreds of times, but I’ve never gone in. It’s kind of a knick-knack shop, and I never really thought of myself as knick-knack guy, so I figured it wasn’t worth spending the time. Only the other day I was curious. […]
Road Trip
Recently I had to help a friend move across country. He’d gotten this job in New Jersey, and we both lived in LA. The company said they’d pay for him to move, and since I wasn’t doing anything. I went along for the ride. It was a pretty boring ride. Lots of […]
Lost In The Corn
Three things happened to me all at once. I got laid off from my job, my girlfriend dumped me, and my roommate said he was getting married. Now, I was happy that my roommate was getting married, don’t get me wrong. But he was also moving in with his girlfriend, which meant I’d […]
Number Twenty Eight
So I started doing some freelance teaching recently. I was looking for a little bit of extra work, and found this lady on Craigslist who wanted me to tutor her kids in elementary school science. I guess with all the standardized testing going on, it’s a lot of pressure for kids to […]
Dinner Party
I used to do a lot of cycling, but I jacked up my achilles tendon. Went to the doc and she said that it’s a clear case of over training. I like riding up and down hills, and I guess putting all the weight on the balls of my feet as a crank […]
Pool Party
I have the lamest job. I sell heating panels for swimming pools. Most people who get a pool, or buy house with a pool already there, have no idea how much it costs to heat it. So they end up only using it during the summer time, when the summer heat is enough […]
Seminar Girl
My boss sent me to this really lame conference, so I’m stuck in the city for a week. I don’t know how they rig these things, but in order to keep my license, I have to take a certain number of training hours per year. This conference can get rid of that […]
The Apartment
You know that strategy where you’re supposed to just agree to everything a job interviewer asks you about any kind of potential situations? Like if they ask if you’d be willing to relocate you say, “yes” and then worry about later. Then when they give you an offer, you can have them […]
Party Cruise
I’d been having a huge losing streak with the ladies. I mean really bad. I was about oh for about a billion just in getting a phone number. Since I broke up with my girlfriend more than a year ago, I thought by now at least I would have gone on a couple […]
The Counseling Session
My girlfriend and I had a huge fight a coupe of weeks ago. I ended up saying some things that I later regretted. I mean some really mean things. When we first started dating, she was really shy and insecure. We went to a bunch of counseling sessions, mostly for her. And […]
