I picked the image for this blog post well before I wrote any of this post. I was torn between a picture of fire works or a picture of a swollen red hung-over eye. The fireworks won over in an attempt to be a little more optimistic about the coming future. That’s hard to do….

I’ve long since abandoned the last shitty job I had at the hotel. By the time I got out of there I was massively glad to be out of there. The signs were all pretty clear that it was a horrific work environment. But the proof that it was awful kept on trickling in even…

When you are in a shitty work environment, the signs show up everywhere. Most of those signs come from employees jumping ship as quickly as possible. I mentioned in a previous post that my former place of employment seems to be mysteriously killing off relatives of employees, like some kind of a monkey’s paw. I…

As of my writing this, I have been working at the hotel for three months. I am working towards the fourth. I have outlasted a couple other people who started working here around the same time as me. This place is just really that fucked. And in that time, I only saw one person kind…

Nothing makes you question the intelligence of your fellow man like the words “Hey, we oversold the hotel.” In three months of working here, I have heard those words far too much. Enough so that they have become normalized in my mind, and I know they shouldn’t have. There have been several solutions to this…

If nothing else, my job will be an endless supply of the examples of human stupidity. So for this story to make sense, know that for some dumb reason I listen to a shit ton of cyber security podcasts. It started back when I was doing research for a short story that I was writing,…

This just in: Celebrities are asshole. I know that statement is no 95 Theses, but I feel like enough people do not know  it. Why else would these idiots be worshiped as they are? Mostly it is because people are idiots and do not know what to do with their emotions. But I feel like…

In China, I would make a point of occasionally posting about the things that I actually liked about that place. I did it as a matter of fairness: no place is all either good or bad, but this blog tends to focus on the bad. That’s actually by design. No one actually likes those stories…

Oh boy! Sometimes I write these posts and I think to myself ‘yea, whoever reads this might think I am a monster. Meh.’ You know what movie was alright? Tucker and Dale vs Evil. It’s not the Criterion Collection, but in its own way it very cute. Particularly, the whole conceit wherein you are seeing…

My job wastes a fuck ton of paper. This bothers me. I was told that I need to print out this massive report (let’s call it 20-100 pages) every hour on the hour. The report is meant to be read by firefighters in case of a massive scale emergency, so they can figure out who…

So I mentioned in the past few posts that I got a full time job. This should be the solution to all my problems, but the job is shitty on an epic scale. The pay is low that were the democrats to impose that 15 dollar minimum wage every one is talking about, it would…

I’m writing this on the cusp of moving out of my first Richmond apartment, mid June 2019. But to be honest I had the title saved as a draft for the past two months or so, I just never bothered to get around to it. But the steam to write it was always there. I…
