I was perfectly happy until I met her. Well, that’s not quite true, since I wasn’t totally thrilled beforehand. And her is actually him. And him is my imaginary playmate, Horratio. Really, though, while my world wasn’t shattered by her simple assertion based on careful observation under strictly controlled laboratory conditions, the horrible truth reigned [...]

All right boys and girls, I know you’ve all experienced this before, and since I have too, it’s consequently important – maybe even urgent – for me to talk and for you to bloody listen. Shoulder and Arm Etiquette 102 It’s Thursday afternoon and you’re on your way home from work. You deftly maneuver the [...]
This happened four weeks ago but I shall forever remember the terror. I was graced with being scheduled to work 12-8 on New Year’s Eve, and 12-8 New Year’s Day. After making it through my shift alive and well, I hopped aboard a bus, the first of two I’d need to get to my friend’s [...]

Every morning at 11:00 AM, like clockwork, I leave my confined wicket and ascend to the lunchroom on the 2nd floor. Here I share a slightly larger space with some delightful middle-aged ladies who are incidentally also my coworkers. We discuss life, love, and our “eccentric” clientele.
