Staying pretty consistent with writing most when I’m at work. That’s actually a significant change for me (over all) and directly contributes to how I’ve not been reading as much and noting even...


Not a super great thing when I start the day off enraged. No reason, I’m trying to figure out what it may be… but the problem is, I do have an idea and I don’t like it.


Playing a video game and a few things became, ultimately, as clear as they ever have been. (1) Tell Tale Games is amazing. Just… bravo to their ability to story tell. (2) Seeing a shuttle launch...


Right Job, Right Location.... again.... thus.... conflicted emotionally. Today I am applying for two more County Attorney Positions. One, it would be nice to get but it isn’t an absolute DREAM j...


Well… it seems that there was not to be any alcohol induced sex. I’d say that I am disappointed, and in truth part of me is, but I have grown entirely too accustomed to waiting… and waiting… and...


Sleep was difficult last night/this morning. Partly because Wife was hogging the bed a little… partly because I really need to make time to exercise. There is a bullshit balance to my whole pai...


Today… with the help of others… I totally realized something....... I have the power to effectively say “Fuck off, y’all” in some of my world. So today… I sent my boss an e-mail saying… we’ve got...


Another 16 hour day. w00t? Training the new guy in Law Library this morning from 8-1200 Court from Noon - 1400 7 More “Immediate Priority” Interviews for 3 hours of labor And 7 hours of “trying ...


I do have a more traditional (read: bitching) entry that I’ve been working on today. But I needed to just… open a release valve on myself for a bit. Not that it has been a particularly shitty...


Had another interview today. I liked the community, I liked the firm, I liked the people… but I could see (visually) the precise moment where the interviewer decided that I was unqualified. He ...


1300: Begin Transmission This is why I don’t like doing law library in the afternoons/evening. I’m trying to force the trainee to a point of confidence by making him make decisions. One of those...


An entry that requires story before the meat. Yesterday, Wife did a lot while I was trying to figure out Pathfinder with some friends. She assembled my new office chair, she cooked a meal that s...


This is unfortunate… I woke up and in my shower, I got the most brilliant idea for a sexy story to write. I set down a few notes on it so that I could write it when I had a chance and pulled up ...


So… apparently, I’m writing almost every day. I suppose with work being so immensely fucked.. it makes sense. Speaking of work being immensely fucked… I’ve started looking around at firms to sue...


On my drive home from work, my car radio is on. It is some random prattle of talking heads but it peaks my curiosity. They’re talking about this alleged thing about Tim Tebow being celibate unti...


Another day in the Coal Mine. I normally wouldn’t use that expression for a day at work as it diminishes the danger experienced by legitimate Coal Mine workers… but all things considered, I find...


It is funny; for the longest time I thought my greatest fear would be drowning to death. From a family of multi-generational competitive swimmers and water polo players… I could not imagine a mo...


I had forgotten how wretchedly shitty this Law Library is. I’d been gone for almost a week… no overtime allowed now, so I hit my max in the Law Library by Tuesday afternoon last week! Come in t...


I acknowledge that it is likely entries like this that lose me readers. After all, complaining about the same things over and over again can be difficult to read. I don’t blame anyone for baili...


Maybe Controversial Statement? I’ve found that Life and RP can have a lot of similarities. (1) Maybe your character build didn’t go well. Maybe you rolled terribly and selected an awful Craft/P...


I have a relative who is a minority and is currently living in Chicago. For those who have not heard; Chicago is in a bit of an upheaval over a police shooting. In this instance, the police ARE...


A good friend reminded me of this… and I’ve nowhere else to put it My wife LOVES TankGirl. I have long been a fan of Lorry Petty. She made a movie in 2008 about her life in small town Iowa. My w...


Not the computer, this new wave of bullshit. (1) Have you seen the Ottawa story? Yoga classes cancelled due to cultural appropriation. Never mind that the class has been taught, for free, at th...


(1) I ran across this article today and rather enjoyed reading it. It seemed, finally, to suggest that men aren’t ignorant neanderthals celebrating the abuses of women.... many of us don’t see ...


A relative of mine that has minimal education; works construction and had two children before the age of twenty posted something that I hear from people of all ages and abilities. His background...
