"Kyler" was called out during roll call of the temporary workers this morning at work. A coworker and I were corrected on his name later into the shift, because we thought our supervisor had said "Tyler." I do believe there is a function in our brain that classifies familiar sounds. "Tyler" is... Sign in to see full entry.

I was not sitting back as I was working intently to get my production line at work going today, but to consider the lack of much output, one would think I was doing nothing.

I have not been much fond of mushrooms, but today I saw on packaging that they are full of Vitamin D. Being deficient of Vitamin D, I decided to pick it up.

A man smoked and drank a beer on the back steps of the laundromat where I laundered my clothes today. He asked me where he could find work. I suggested he try a temporary agency, but inwardly I could not picture him as one that was ready to pick up his feet and go about work. He could be depressed,... Sign in to see full entry.

Dirty laundry, where do you go? My clothes, for the moment, have to take a trip outside to a laundromat to be cleaned--to some laundromat that is open, when it is open. Earlier this week, maintenance came through my apartment to look over the washer/dryer. They gave me instructions not to use it... Sign in to see full entry.
