When you're cleaning a bookshelf to paint it and you discover that you'd forgotten you had some first print Anne Rice books.

He just stares at me while he poops in his water dish. What a jerk.

Everyday, before I exit my car, I tell myself something just to give myself a laugh. Today: I'm never going to be able to retire, and I'll be doing this until the day they roll my corpse into the incinerator.

The balls on some people ... Don't come groveling to me, and then when I throw you a bone you act like a fucking prima donna. Shit is un-fucking real sometimes.

I keep a lighter in my pocket book, in case I want to light myself on fire. youtu.be/sNkthe6k-XM?...

Never thought this job would have me scrolling through photos taken in the operating room. REAL severed limbs look very different than the movies.

Sometimes, I look at my DVD and Blu-ray shelf and think, when I die, someone is either going to hate me or love me when they have to go through all my shit. Yes, there are two copies of Female Trouble.

Moms in the 80s: Oh, you're vomiting, here's some 7UP and Saltines. Me: Really, Reta, salt and fizz? Literally the worst things to vomit. You know the very worst thing? When you can't even keep water down, it's just bile. My throat feels like someone took a wire brush to it . . . At least 15X.

Just ... no.

Is anyone really surprised? This is the closest to midnight the Doomsday Clock has ever been. Honestly, I thought there'd be less time than 85 seconds.

I'm an essential worker and still have to go to work even though it's a level 3 snow emergency, which means you can be arrested for being on the road.

The cosmos: Let's brew up a massive winter storm. My body: When she wakes up, let's pinch a nerve in her back so it'll hurt to move or breathe for the next two weeks, and she won't be able to dig out of that massive snow storm.

I hate tax time so much.

Been working my way through these gems. When Tim signed this copy he said he was starting to film Dirty Cop No Donut 3.

Finally started the process at my dayjob so that I can work from home. I don't know much longer until I can sleep in an extra hour, but I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait until I don't have to get up double early because of a Midwest snowstorm. The disadvantage of being an essential worker.

I come from a family with several military members. My brother served. My father and uncles fought in Vietnam. My grandfather fought in WW2. The shit that is happening lately should scare the shit out of all of you, but no one seems to care.

Yesterday, a coworker asked me if I was taking the stairs because it was National Take The Stairs Day. No, I take the 8 flights of stairs daily to combat the rampant heart disease that runs in my family. I'm nearing 47. It's time to worry about these things.

I think I'm done here. Posts with 0 interaction. And I have nothing profound to say anymore. The world is a trash fire.

Menopause basically means you end up spending the rest of your life not knowing if you want the heat or air conditioning on.

Dropped it but managed to only break the downstem. Replaced it with a green silicone one. Let's see how this works.

It's that time of year . . . time to read through the slush pile.

Last night we walked up town to watch the disco ball wrapped in lights drop. There was a malfunction and it just sat there. Can't think of a more accurate representation of 2025.

Coworker asked if I got any tattoos for Xmas. I haven't been tattooed since 2014. I've actually been through 4 laser removal sessions, which are 1000x more painful. So no, I'll probably never get another tattoo as long as I live.

I wrote something. You should read it.

The only movie I think about on Xmas. youtu.be/hxw8HNAyO6Q?...

I got a lot of problems with you people, and now you're gonna hear about it.

My new favorite shirt.

When you're an essential worker, there are no holidays, even when all of the doctor's offices and insurance companies are closed due to the holiday and I can't do my job, still have to be at work. Great logic.

The view from the 8th floor at my job.

Winter in the Midwest sucks. This and the six inches of snow we got yesterday can eat it.

My team leader doesn't know the difference between 'then' and 'than' and it makes me want to rip my own face off.

My next book is available for Kindle pre-order.

If you're interested in my writing, this will be available before the end of the year.

I read something that said, the way you treat your parents when you're an adult mirrors the way they treated you as a child. That's why I cut them out and didn't speak to them for years before they passed. Just abandoned them the way they abandoned me.

Coworker complimented me on my vocabulary and the language I use in our Teams messages. Thankfully, none of my coworkers know I'm an author.

It's finally complete.

We just sit around at my job and talk about how long it'll be before A.I. makes our jobs obsolete. Doctors are dictating their notes with A.I. When I call insurance companies, there's a disclaimer that they're training A.I. And one submission portal auto-approves using A.I.

Get a Bose theater system and blast Fever Ray to make the whole house shake.

Being a blackout alcoholic is no excuse for sexual assault. Being passive-aggressive when confronted is uncouth. Taking umbrage because of the time that passed between the event and being confronted makes you a fuckhead. Your messages went unanswered in that timespan. Enough said. Fuck off.

If I have to sort through one more medical record full of photos of rotting flesh, I'm gonna barf on my work computer. #onethingtheydidntwarnmeaboutwhenitookthisjob

Watched a video where a guy hired a look-a-like to go to his high school reunion. Realized this summer will be 30 years for mine. I wonder if any of my classmates became anything more than a piece of shit. Never been to a reunion and will never go. I was bullied, so fuck ALL of those assholes.

This is now located a few blocks from my home. It's part of the Ohio Literary Tour. #thetwilightzone
