Closing Out 2025 in Life And Times
Business as usual for today, I suppose. I wasn't able to stay home, maybe as I would've intended, but I want to say that I was somewhat productive. I went to work this morning, early as I ...
Another Quick Escape in Life And Times
I didn't even bother trying to stay in the office past noon today. I checked out just before 8am this morning and as was the case yesterday, I did not look back. I have plenty of vacation tim...
Running Needlessly in Life And Times
I keep playing Battlefield 6 for the PS5. I want to say that I've gotten about as good as I'm going to get in the game. I get kills. I die. In fact, I die a lot. My intent when I play this ...
Finally Cold Outside in Life And Times
Finally, the morning temperatures around here have dipped below 55. This morning, the temperature outside was 43. Yesterday morning, we hit 40. Now, being that I'm in Southern California, it...
Busy Doing Busywork in The Paper Chase
So Christmas came and went and now, life can return to normal. I know that "normal" is relative, but for me, this means that stores won't be crowded, traffic around town is considerably reduced...
Potential Display Of Pettiness in The Paper Chase
Every now and then, I get things right. In the end, this might be a small victory, but it's still a victory, regardless of size or value. At least to me, it is. Briana had been one of the...
Stonewalled? in The Paper Chase
As has been the case for many years prior to 2025, things at work are supposed to slow down significantly as we head into the final week before Christmas. For reasons that I cannot explain, ...
Needlessly Rambling in Life And Times
For whatever the reason, this past week at work was especially busy for me. At this time of the year, this sort of chaos would be unexpected. I can't explain it and I don't try to, but I am a...
Moments In Being Less Fat And Diabetic in Life And Times
I grew up a fat kid. For the most part anyway. I think I went through a very brief, though inexplicable thin spell when I was in second and third grades and then I plumped up and assumed the r...
Running Headfirst Into December in Life And Times
As the 2025-2026 college football season winds down, it would appear that this season's college football playoff will be out of reach for most schools in the country. My alma mater will be one ...
The Holiday Season Once Again in Life And Times
Thanksgiving yesterday came and went and thankfully, life went right back to some state of normalcy. At least, for me it did. Since I've been on my diabetes medication, my relationship with...
Days Off, Trainees, And Donuts in The Paper Chase
This week is going to be a short week at work, as I imagine it will be for those of us working in these good old United States. Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday. Today was slow at work, t...
A Tragic Anniversary And The World Gets Dumber in Life And Times
According to the front page at Yahoo, today marks the 62nd anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I didn't know that off the top of my head, though truth be told, I was...
Overwhelmed By Fatigue in Life And Times
I don’t want to say that I’ve given up, but I think that I’m done playing the game. Though the people themselves might be different, the outcomes that they bring are really all the same. I’...
Not Smelling Right in Life And Times
It's rare that I come home from work completely drained and dead tired. This wasn't one of those days, but I'd say that it wasn't too far off. I suppose I'm at my typical level of tired right ...
Birthdays, Rain, And Simulated Gunfire in Life And Times
Breanna had a birthday today. Morie has a birthday tomorrow. I sent Breanna that obligatory "Happy Birthday" text message this afternoon. I'll be sending Morie her birthday text message tomo...
Valor Earned in Life And Times
Today is Veteran's Day. As far as Dad is concerned, it's just another day on the calendar. He was never the type to hype up his military service, not only in retirement, but even when he was a...
Still Sick, But Not Begging in Life And Times
At one point, it was 88 degrees outside today. That would be Southern California in early November for you. Those kinds of temperatures make me feel worse than I already do. I've always bee...
Battling Illness in Life And Times
Today would be my third day of battling this damn cold. For the moment, I'm fatigued. I'm congested. My eyeballs hurt. I keep coughing. I've been experiencing what I would consider to be ...
Still Battling in Life And Times
It is rare that I get sick. Sometimes, I truly believe that I might be made of iron. If I'm guessing, it's been just over a year since I experienced even the slightest tinge of a cold. I say...
The Fat Remains in The Paper Chase
Even though Gurney is long gone, Manteca continues to come by our little corner of the office. Now, I'm wondering what her deal is. At first, the thought was that she would only come by to chi...
Get The Fuck Out Already in The Paper Chase
I couldn't have been any more ecstatic than I was on Friday when Gurney's last day in the office had come and gone. I didn't care what his day was like or how everything played out for him in t...
Trunk-Or-Treat: 2025 Edition in The Paper Chase
Today the office held its now annual Trunk-Or-Treat event and third such event overall. I meant to escape much earlier than I did, being that I wanted no part of this year's festivities. My pl...
Circumventing That "No" in The Paper Chase
I meant to go to work today after my dentist appointment this morning, but in the end, I just did not feel like it. Today's dental visit was for a placement of a permanent crown and then for ye...
Mulling Things Over in Life And Times
