Guessing Birth Order Based On Personality

When I heard about one of my coworkers yet again going home early--probably because of a "headache"--I found myself speculating that I knew his birth order and that I could do the same with my other fellow workers. For whatever reason, I considered him to be first born. This may be because of my... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Way To Follow The Football Games While At Work

Sundays on which I have had to work used to find me rushing to my car during breaks to follow the action in the National Football League. I had a portable radio, but the reception was no good inside the work building. Now I am following the action on my cellphone's browser. I am able to go to ESPN,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Givers And The Takers

I enjoyed savory homemade sauerkraut during lunch at work today, generously offered to me by a coworker. It was the best sauerkraut I ever tasted, even though I ate it with nothing to go with it. I was courteous enough to take a modestly small portion. That way my coworker was free to choose to... Sign in to see full entry.

Heavy Cream Is Overrated As An Ingredient

My strawberry pie was delicious, and I forgot to add the heavy whipping cream--a specification of the recipe. I often forget to add whipping cream, and then I fail to see what was not scrumptious about the dessert. Perhaps, people who always put cream in their coffee are the most likely to remember...

Adjusting To A Buzz Word Of The Present: Bullying

Much has been made of the controversy in the Miami Dolphins' lockerroom, namely the alleged bullying of the offensive tackle Jonathan Martin by fellow offensive lineman Richie Incognito.

Locked Out Of My Email

Passwords and usernames go a long way toward securing our online activity, however, it inevitably seems to happen that we are sometimes locked out. That happened to me yesterday. Yahoo requested that I reset my password for one of my email accounts. I had trouble doing so, and then was asked to... Sign in to see full entry.

Government Agencies Are So Inefficient

People should not think it a good thing to rely upon the government. More often than not, one is put on the the short end of the stick upon them, being made to wait. More than a month ago at least, if not one and half or two months, Labor and Industries sent me a letter stating that they decided to... Sign in to see full entry.

My Take: Shades Of Meaning For "Grouchy","Grumpy", And "Grumbling"

Being exposed to people of the complaining type at work, I associate them with tag word descriptions accordingly--those words being "grouchy" and "grumpy." The grouchy person figuratively takes your head off for bothering him. For instance, he asks in a critical tone why I did not appoacch him... Sign in to see full entry.

Unusal Daylight Savings Strategy

With my drowsiness last night coupled with the upcoming daylight savings time, I awoke an hour earlier--that is, I never turned my clocks back. Instead, I just arose an hour earlier and I used my extra time to write my blogs then. Now I am going back on the current schedule now. I still need to... Sign in to see full entry.

Are Two Windshiield Wipers Absolutely Necessary?

A squeegee or an ice scraper donned on my head yesterday as a solution to my windshield wiper problem. For more than a year and a half, I have been driving with one functioning windshield wiper--the one on the passenger side. When running, it swings not quite over to the driver's direct view. I have... Sign in to see full entry.
