I have a problem controlling myself sometimes, especially when I have had a few drinks. Last year at the Christmas party I got hammered and caused a bit of a scene. I also slept with my boss’s wife, which caused a much bigger scene. Roy was the contractor I worked for, and when he found […]

In other words – if my air conditioner was going to break, this was the best possible time for it to happen Call me an eternal optimist, but I love to look on the bright side of any situation. A long time ago I was a very dour and emo type of person. To me […]

Being a line cook in a restaurant is not an easy job. I worked on the line for several years before earning a big promotion. Now I oversee the kitchen and the dining area both, managing the staff and making sure the customers have a pleasant dining experience. The comfort of the diners is the […]

I consider myself a tolerant person, but even I have limits. When the A/C repair tech came over for a service call, I could clearly smell the intense smell of booze on him. It didn’t seem like he had a beer at lunch, but that he had spent all night soaking in a bathtub full […]

If it seems that I treat my younger brother harshly, that’s because you don’t know him like I do. Ed has always been a screw-up, since we were kids. I went to school, got good grades, started a career, and bought a house. Ed dropped out of school, went to jail a couple of times, […]

I am really in trouble with the bosses. I’m worried that I might even lose my job over it. Apologising won’t do me any good, because I’ve already done it several times. If I had a time machine I would go back and make other choices, but as it stands I may be screwed – […]

There is big money in comic books. Thanks to all the Marvel and DC movies, old comics are selling for record prices. My job is as an insurance adjuster, and I specialize in evaluating the worth of comic book collections. My job takes me all around the country, where I spend days on end pouring […]

I went to an allergist at the age of five because I had a reaction to shellfish for the first time. Thankfully, I didn’t have a litany of other allergies, just a slight one to dust and mold that comes and goes depending on seasonal changes. Still, that’s a problem when you’re a kid and […]

Moving a lot as a kid is hard when you make a group of friends and don’t want to lose them just to go to school in another state to make friends with a different group. This was even harder in high school in a clique environment, but I managed to finally fall into a […]

Yesterday when I went outside, I saw that there were a half a dozen men in Heating as well as A/C supplier uniforms up on the roof of our building; I don’t assume what they were doing out there; Granted, though, there are often lots of people up on the roof that I don’t even […]

My boss is not the greatest of men. He is very set in his ways and he will always argue over the most trivial of things. It’s slightly annoying and to be honest I have no clue why I still work for this guy. He always brags about what he has done in life, what […]

I’ve been dating this girl Rachael for 4 months now. She has been unbelievably amazing. We’ve gone to dinners, movies, walks in the park and some various concerts. She told me that one day when she gets a house she would want it to be more modernized with newer technology. She told me that one […]

I was sad to drive by and see this little, locally owned restaurant go out of business. This was a place that had tried to catch on prior to the pandemic. Once we were all cooped up inside the central air conditioning of our homes, it was take out time. This place actually thrived a […]

When the HVC technician came to the house to inspect our ductwork, I told him not to step on the rugs. He told me he wore booties, so there was no way he was going to get the rugs dirty. I wasn’t worried about getting my rugs dirty. There was a reason why I didn’t […]

My husband had called the HVAC company to have them inspect the ductwork. It was getting weak in some spots and we wanted to know if we needed to purchase new ductwork,or get a new HVAC system. We had already talked about installing ductless mini split HVAC systems in the house instead of central HVAC. […]
