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 […]
Health Care Crisis
I just got this new job, which is kind of cool, but it kind of sucks. My old one was perfect, at least for me. I had a pretty big cubicle, didn’t have to attend a lot of useless meetings and was given a lot of freedom how to get my job done. […]
Desert Witches
I’ve been on a lot of blind dates in my life. Most were pretty lame. I didn’t like her, she didn’t like me. Some ended with some pretty easy sex, but then we never connected much after that. This, of course, was in the early days of the Internet. When it was […]

Bargain Basement – The Eternal Torture
I’ve always prided myself on my negotiation skills. Back when I was in college, I loved haggling at flea markets, I still do. The back and forth, the techniques we both use, it’s a blast. One of the most powerful techniques you can use is to simply repeat their offer, […]
The Non-Dental Chair Experiment
I didn’t know how long I was supposed to wait. They told me to show up with my tools, and everybody would meet around nine. It was already ten thirty, and nobody. No calls. No service, which would explain the no calls. The address seemed like a normal address. But it was a lone building. […]
