I don’t want to insult them because of their poor indoor air quality control so I decided to let a heating and cooling technician do my dirty work The older I get the more I find that it pays to be subtle. If you are very direct with human beings it usually backfires on you. […]

I know that I have a reputation at my work for being extremely cold and grumpy. I’m probably not the most personable human who has ever been in the service industry. I know plenty of folks who are bubbly, talkative, and consumed with interacting with their clients. However, that isn’t my deal. I’m the sort […]

I am a professional and I like to behave like one. I am never going to be the person who is swearing on the job, acting disrespectful towards the client, or messing with low quality workmanship. I do the best that I can and every single instance when my professional skills are called into action. […]

If you’re anything like me you have a troubled relationship with your parents. I should say, a troubled relationship with my mother. My mom is an extremely overprotective human being even though all of her kids are completely grown up. I know that she’s just trying to be helpful and take care of us but […]

When I was graduating from high school there weren’t so many options available to me. Back in the day, not everybody went to a four-year university. In fact, it was very common to get a job directly out of high school and stick with that career for the next 50 years. It was unlikely for […]

Sometimes I feel really trapped living in this town. When I was looking for a new place to live I never could have imagined that I would wind up in such an oppressive and backwards community. I come from an extremely progressive area of the country where people are accepting and open minded. No matter […]

These days I think a lot of people are getting fed up with providing 24/7 childcare. It’s been many months of having the kids at home and parents are getting pretty exhausted. I can tell you, I am certainly one of those parents. When this social distancing thing started, I thought it was going to […]

You have to be careful when you’re trying to get a good deal. Sometimes you end up with a bad situation. I know that this has been the case with my most recent attempt at improving my household responsibilities. Here, I thought that I was doing everyone a favor by finally having our HVAC system […]

I’m sure it comes as no surprise, but you really have to be careful about who you get involved with in a romantic relationship. Even if people seem like they have your best interest in mind, it’s difficult to know for sure until it’s too late. People can be very manipulative and deceptive even when […]

People always say that you have to be careful when you’re introducing pets to each other. You don’t want to have a dog that wants to tear your cat’s head off any more than you want to have a pair of cats who absolutely hate each other. It can be difficult to maintain a peaceful […]

It can be exhausting being a parent, if you haven’t heard. Kids always want something and they want it from you. They aren’t self-sufficient and they haven’t learned how to entertain themselves yet. That means, you spend an awful lot of time running around trying to keep them comfortable, happy, and safe all at once. […]

Everybody looks forward to graduating from school with their respective degree. You pay a lot of money and attend a lot of classes for that piece of paper. When the day finally comes and you can say that you successfully did it, I think most of us are overjoyed. I know that I was absolutely […]
