“Sht Show at the Fck Factory”

I’m so happy to have finally arrived at Thursday. It’s been a long week at work, with me having to take 3 days worth of Yellow Belt training as it’s now become a requirement in our facility. No, I’m not taking Tae Kwon Do classes at work(though that would be preferable.) No, Yellow Belt training […]

Friday : A Week’s Recap

We’ve successfully made it to the end of another week. And, like most weeks that we’ve been encountering for the last several years there was plenty of evidence to support the idea that the end times are coming along nicely. From continued genocide in parts of the world, to yet another American school shooting, to […]

Friday, Pine Needles, New Laptop, New(Old) turntable, General Weekend Gratefulness

We’ve made it to yet another Friday. The work week has finally come to an end, so rejoice and make the most of those two days off. If you have to work the weekend, my apologies. I’m firmly in the throes of autumn clean-up at my house. It’s pine needle dropping season, so I hook […]

Relax, It’s Friday

We made it. It was yet another month-long week and our souls have been nearly sucked dry by the punch clock, but no corporate vampire is going to keep us down. We’ve got 48 hours of sunlight, so while our blood-sucking overlords sleep the sleep of the (spiritually) dead we can bask in extra sleep, […]

It’s Friday(Don’t Waste It)

We made it to Friday. Finally. I don’t know what it is about these 4-day weeks that end up feeling like 6-day weeks, but it happens every time. Now, if you’re week is short because you took a Friday off, well that’s completely different. Those weeks feel short and special. You take Friday off and […]

Friday, Looking Back In Anger, Aging, Gut Feelings

It’s been a long few weeks and I’m pretty wore out mentally, emotionally, and existentially. Between the fiasco with the dog(yes that dog again), the drama at work with “when will we close?”, and my looming 50th birthday I feel like I’ve been walking a tightrope. My wife stayed the night at my daughter’s place […]

Friday Zen

When it comes to cleaning the house I’m the guy. It’s something I’ve always done in the marriage. My wife isn’t much of a picker upper. Her superpowers lie elsewhere, like with dealing with school volunteering, budgeting, and dealing with the kids Dr. appointments. Me? I buy the groceries, cook the meals, pay the bills, […]

Bandcamp Friday

This coming Friday, September 4th, is another day where Bandcamp is waiving their fees so all the money you fine folks spend on the Bandcamp platform will go directly to the artists and indie labels. It’s really the perfect time to snag those albums you’ve been thinking about grabbing. I mean, anytime is a good […]

Friday Thoughts

Some Friday thoughts: May your coffee stay hot, but your demeanor cool May your boss keep a liberal distance May the phone not ring, and the breakroom not stink May the copier not offer any resistance Here’s to another, week under the belt And at 5PM the traffic not vociferous For there’s beer in the […]

Ode To A Friday

From the 4th grade up to 9th grade my favorite day of the week was Friday. That’s not all together odd, really. I mean, I’m sure there were LOTS of people whose favorite day of the week was Friday. For me it started around 3pm when we’d get all of our graded tests and homework […]
