There are two types of people...................... People always say that; “there are two types of people”. It is true but it is not true. We are all one type: Human; and we are all millions o...

---

It is amazing what you can learn from people who feel less observed. Last night, when Chinese Boss left the office for the last time for the next 17 days, I saw our two Chinese Employees visibly...

---

Thursday turned out to be certainly an interesting day in many respects. As I already detailed, my day had already had quite a stir of activity before I even got in to work. 6:30 I woke, showere...

---

Hopefully, today goes well. I had nightmares all night. Looking back at my life, discovering both how it could have been much better and much worse. I woke up after a particularly strong “You’r...

---

I am currently staring at wood paneling; it covers my Ames Office. Literally. Covers. Every wall. Drop down ceiling. Old wooden desk with a glass top shattered at the left side and never rep...

---

Last night, I had a fever of 100.9. Do you think that qualifies me as sick? Especially considering, and this is true, I don’t usually rate a 98.6 on thermometers. But my parents wanted to make...

---

I am coughing my guts out. Fever. Weak enough to be bowled over by a kitten. But I am still working, still busting my ass because my bosses demand it. Chinese Boss asks me to send stuff to som...

---

I’m.... a little desperate for communication. I haven’t spoken to my brother or his family since The Wedding; I haven’t seen my parents since my Dad’s eye surgery… and at best I get 40 minutes w...

---

Writing what nobody wants to read. Living what nobody wants to live. I tend to get a little depressed when I’m sick. I mean, I’m weaker so my pain increases and I’m not getting as much sleep ...

---

Bad enough that I have to work when I am this sick. Worse still getting client phone calls at 6:30 am. Definitely need a job with better home/work balance.

---

How to Run a Firm: Too many cooks. I think Chinese Boss did take our talk to heart the other day… about how the way things work here weighs too heavily on me and how that is bullshit. Because t...

---

Ah yes, the joy of going to work with a fever because that is the smartest way to make sure a business runs smoothly. As mean-spirited as this may be… I hope that I do get one of my bosses sick. ...

---

I wanted to write an entry yesterday that was smiles, hugs, and rainbows… because it has been so long since I was able to write something like that. Yesterday, I treated myself to a $95 haircut,...

---

Interesting how the word REFRAIN has meanings based on use. Refrain: to stop oneself from doing something; common usage. Refrain: A refrain (from Vulgar Latin refringere, “to repeat”, and later...

---

My emotions do not work in my favor sometimes. I’m still pretty angry. Was angry last night and couldn’t get to sleep. Of course, first thing this morning the Investigator had found what I nee...

---

Yeah… Chinese Boss has zero sense of anything approaching a work/life balance. As I suspected, the e-mail boss sent me at 11 pm last night was “intended to be read when she sent it” instead of “i...

---

So.... this job does make me reconsider being a lawyer. Despite what my mom said. Because it puts doubts in my head all the time. There was a big one today that I had to e-mail to Wife and Mom...

---

Time moves slowly when you are slogging your way through neck deep bullshit all the time. Apparently, the last few Tuesday nights I’ve told Wife, “I can’t believe it is only Tuesday. Feels like...

---

How is this for depressing! Announced is the name for the Han Solo standalone movie (a film whose very existence makes me cringe as I was a huge fan of the A.C. Crispen novels about young Han Sol...

---

Interesting stuff happened yesterday. Allegedly, interesting stuff could happen today. So… yesterday. My client doesn’t show up for his court appearance (as expected) but my Mom calls me. The “...

---

This story I am here to share is not about Tiny Town. It is an Iowa Town on the Mississippi River. I was born in an Iowa Town on the Mississippi River… but not this one. The place where I was ...

---

I am in extreme pain. I can’t turn my head to the left and my lower back is killing me. I just sat through a 2 hour Juvenile Removal Hearing that could be summarized as follows: The State discove...

---

As I write this it is 3:41 Central Standard Time. It is a pretty nice day outside. I walked the dog in a Skyrim Loop so he was surprised. Skyrim Loop meaning.. you start one place, take all so...

---

A long day by my lonesome. I was going to take the dog out for a BIG OL walk; but it rained ALL DAY and the dog is VERY much not a fan of lightning and thunder. So… just me and the dog and video ...

---

Lots of things to start the day off… but lets jump straight into my favorite.... Last night, as every night, just before I left work I saved my billing form. I hit the little button that looks l...
