There are few things I dislike as much as doorways. Off the top of my head, only opening tuna cans and saran wrap come immediately to mind. But now I can add shorts to the list.
I haven’t worn shorts for at least a year, maybe two. I stopped wearing them because I didn’t like them, [...]

Maybe I am overreacting
My mind is a crazy place. Though I do my best to appear sane on the outside, inside my mind rambles on and on about unimportant things and is often beyond my control. I can’t turn it off when I want to go to sleep. I can’t make it be reasonable when I know it [...]

Windex in the face face
I accidentally sprayed my supervisor in the face with Windex today. How could such a thing happen? If you read my blog, you’ve seen the photos. I work in an interesting environment. We all kid around with each other a lot and there are a lot of dirty jokes. I’ve picked up new habits* too.
Anyway, [...]

My own Alive! day
I haven’t posted as much this week because with the return of warmer weather Ferdinand’s has gotten busier. This means I am more tired at the end of the day and don’t feel like coming into the newsroom. Friday was particularly busy because it was another Alive! day.
All the kids and their parents got me [...]

A couple photos from this week
Ferdinand’s was evacuated early in the week because a child pulled the fire alarm. Even though we saw the kid do it, we still had to leave the building. It was a very annoying alarm, but it was nice to get an extra 20 minute break.
I came across this little guy when I was walking [...]

My working environment
We had a bit of a lull Thursday morning at Ferdinand’s. My co-workers thought it would be fun to shrink-wrap our mascot. Then we posted him on our message board. If you’re curious, the spider stuff is referring to this. Apparently it is old, but I had never seen it before and was forced to [...]

Three fortunes
On Brian’s last night working at the Evergreen, a group of us went to New Garden for dinner. I got three fortune cookies in my bag, instead of the usual two.
Two of them were pretty generic fortunes: your difficult path with be rewarding and keep your eyes open for a special opportunity.
The third fortune was [...]

They do exist
As I was searching AP for briefs to fill up my world news page, I came across this story. It gave me just one more reason to visit Italy.

June in Pullman
When I woke up and saw this, I wanted to cry. The snow started before I woke, which was at 6:15 a.m. (I got up early to cover a Dino Rossi appearance.) It didn’t stop until well into the afternoon. It was cold and ridiculous and ruined my day. I spent all day trying to [...]

I’ll serve the pirate
I thought the hardest part about working in retail would be trying not to react when serving odd people, like the young man who always comes in wearing a pirate hat or the guy who reminds me of Clinger from MASH, clothes and all. But I’ve gotten used to it and I no longer have [...]
