    I’m Glad My Coworkers Understand My Sense of Humor 

    ​My coworker: Derek, we can put this project off a couple of weeks. What do you think? Me: I’m a morbidly obese hypertensive who could drop dead at any minute. I say we just get it over with. Other people on the meeting:  … My coworker: I thought you’d want to get it done ASAP.

  • I Thought It Was Funny

    My son Stephen was getting ready to wash the dishes, so he asked me “Where’s the sponge?” Without missing a beat, I responded “In a pineapple under the sea.” It took him a few seconds to get what I was talking about, but the confused look on his face was priceless. I love being a…

  • Things They Don’t Tell You About Working From Home

    There are a lot of benefits to working at home and I appreciate that my employer has given me the opportunity. However, one thing that no one ever tells you about working from home and telecommuting is that if you don’t start your car every day, or at least several times a week, then the…

  • My Thoughts On St. Patrick’s Day

  • What To Eat After A Clear Liquid Diet?

    I am going into the hospital today for an outpatient procedure (Hint: It rhymes with Schmolonoscopy) and therefore have been on a clear liquid diet for the past 24 hours.  In fact, the last solid thing I ate was a plate of crab legs on Saturday night (delicious by the way). Since then I have…

  • My Biggest Fan

    Image via Wikipedia I think it is easy to say that one of my biggest fans is my son Stephen. I am learning how to use my new (to me) Wacom Bamboo and it is going slow. I am not a very good drawer under the best of circumstances and learning to draw on something…

  • My Plans For Black Friday

    I could get up early stand in a line with a bunch of strangers who will turn openly hostile the second the doors open so that we can all fight over things that we don’t really need but are 40 to 60 percent off of the regular price. OR I can stay at home in…

  • I Swear I’m Going To Do This One Day

    If I ever have a phone conversation that includes the phrase “I’m calling about a personal matter.” I’m answering with “Oh, I’m sorry, this phone is only for business matters. You’ll have to call a different line.” And if they ask for the personal number, I will tell them “I’m sorry, I can’t give out…
