Irregular and most times watery.
Hot Bowl Of Ramen At Four In The Morning
And it expired in 2021! Laid out on the couch, having a few tokes off the joint I rolled earlier. Sent my resumé out again on Indeed. One week without work and I’m already up all night again...
I'll Start The Engine
But I can’t take this ride for you… Eric was my best friend for a long time. Countless hours of film watching, music listening, booze drinking, riding around finding places to park and hoof it...
Quicker Gettin' Sicker

H-O-T-T-O-G-O
Yup, I’m sick. It’s late, I’m eating chicken soup after taking some NyQuil. Peacock got into it with the owner of the paint company so I’m out of a job. Something feels off about that but...
Get 'Em While They're Hot!
I’ve taken to putting hot sauce or jalapenos in my eggs for breakfast. Tis good. Thanks to everyone’s kind notes from yesterday. Just one of those days.
FUBRAIN
Feeling lonely tonight. Brain is trying negative reinforcement, telling me I’ll be alone forever and to go drink. I’m so tired of this shit. Got caught in the rain at the Christmas event in TN ...
Prone To Accidental Accidents
This afternoon I shaved. Was trying to do No Shave November (just my face) and it got itchy. That and I looked…not right. So I buzzed then razored my fuzz scuzz. I look less homeless now. ...
Schlotzky's Calzone
That’s what I had for a late lunch. I don’t eat there often, in fact I’ve got there more times this year (four) than I have in the last fifteen plus years. Peacock got under my skin a bit tod...
Legalize Everything
In other news I took some skin off my shin when I accidentally walked into a sharp, metal object. I’ve got it bandaged up but boy did it bleed.

The three bedroom today wasn’t bad at all. Only had to do a few walls. Found a butcher knife, some food and condiments still in the fridge, notes from a Pre-K school that the former tenants da...
Stairs Can Piss Off!
No elevators at The Alexandria. Apartment one today was on the second floor. Not so bad but making multiple trips by stair carrying heavy ass supplies will tire you out. It was a two bedroom...
Andrew 3000 Says Alright A Bunch
Proper entry time. The painting gig isn’t bad. The rent that gets charged for these small apartments is crazy. I need to work on stretches for my lower back and some bending down exercises. ...

Book Description
I came on my own volition.
I am the man that got away.
Work -
Tonight I clocked in at 4:30 PM and it was suddenly Wednesday when I worked 6:45 AM to 6 PM with only an hour lunch break and on my feet the rest. I was trying to relieve Logan in the back who was frying chicken both for our loose case and boxed hot case so he could go to lunch. Instead I got mixed with a redneck who wanted a Philly steak and cheese. I made his sandwich to order only to be confronted with the elderly gentleman behind him. He, to this shit. o, wanted a Philly. I was annoyed. Angry. Granted chicken side cooking sucks At least you’re away from the customers. I can, “pretend”, like I’m cooking chicken in the back but dick around for ten minutes, which actually rarely happens. You learn to smile and accept this shit. Made him his sandwich, didn’t stop to ask the next customer if he needed help. Instead, went straight to the back and told Logan to take his lunch, I was taking over, box up what just came up out the fryer and we’re good.
It was just one of those days. People wonder why I get stoned before work.
I.
Am.
Robot.
Tell.
Me.
What.
Is.
Next.
I’m versatile.
Put me in any situation and I come victorious.
Even on the bad days.
So when I go the hardcore bitch mode of my assistant manager on Wednesday after my eleventh hour there. I got irate.
I know she does a job for two.
Her boss/my boss sucks ass.
But fuck....I’m part time.
If you want to bitch and yell about the shit that the full timers didn’t do…bitch to them.
DON’T MAKE ME DO THEIR FUCKING SHIT THE LAST HOUR I’M THERE!
I’ve been working for this slave camp for three and a half years.
I lost my insurance last year due to me being stupid and the store manager catching on. Which is actually a big blessing. I haven’t missed a day in a year.
But I’ve been there for every shift.
Sleep, no sleep?
Fuck it.
Show up for work.
The computer takes over on schedule and now I don’t qualify for our good insurance.
I have to take the government stuff?
OK.
I’m a democrat.
Lifelong.
BUT FUCK YOU OBAMA!
Don’t tell me what to do.
I’ll go another year without health insurance.
I want my good Blue Cross Blue Shield Back.
Make my job give me the hours back for insurance.
People close to me say I need to see a therapist.
After A.A. and an almost check in at rehab.
Maybe I do need anti-depressants.
This is a rant with no one I know reading this.
Its liberating.
I welcome ProseBox into my life.
