Stories that take a bit longer to get through.

  • Sir, you have the intelligence of a sea cucumber.

    I was working today on the largest repetitive task at CompUSA: The Monthly Networking Section Reorganization of Death. This time, they’re really going to make sure it doesn’t get screwed up in a week. We’ll see. Anyway, one Einstein of a customer decided that the best place to leave his full Starbucks while he chitchatted on his cell phone…

  • Hit the Road, John

    Well, it’s my fault for not writing this immediately when I was thinking about it. Towards the end of last week, I took it upon myself to fix the Xbox display at my store (CompUSA). Several weeks before, the Xbox rep had come by and naturally was annoyed that the system didn’t work. She shipped me some…

  • Out with a Flash

    Yeah, while attempting to make final tweaks to our research papers, Jerri and I came up with some great senior pranks. With the help of our very cool friends, we pulled them off quite well. We finally got our vengeance against Mr. Tim, the CBA science teacher, by Saran Wrapping his car and writing all over…

  • Friends are Cool

    Yes, after going through all that stuff with composition and everything, I’m in a very good mood. My Improv class show thing was this evening—I’d been looking forward to it for several weeks now. It went very well and I think the audience had a good time (at least they laughed at us a whole lot…

    99,999.9

    Have you ever really felt like crying, and then not been able to? It’s like you have the “cry” feelings there, but then the “cry” switch is stuck in the off position. So it ends up generating a blah sort of feeling instead. Yesterday was eventful to say the least. When there’s a high lifecrap over time ratio,…

  • By the Way? I Moved.

    For my extended weekend, I packed my life into boxes and moved it from my house into a townhouse. My parents got separated and my brother and I are going to be living with my mom now. I know this is news to a bunch of my friends; sorry about that. I’m not really into talking about…

  • Return to All That Is Routine

    I ended up writing way too much here, so pick a random paragraph! And headers are different. I’m just beginning to enjoy all the über-features of deviantART with my temporary paid account. Thanks to the Holiday Card Project, I’m enjoying a free month, and I just might end up paying the price to keep it going. w00t.…
