Cold AFF

It has been cold AF here lately. If you don’t know the meaning of AF, you’re not hip to the lingo. (The fact that I used the phrase “hip to the lingo” probably indicates that I am not hip to the lingo, either. Oh, well.) AF simply means “as f**k.” I’m sure you can fillContinue reading “Cold AFF”

There’s an Echo in Here

Hard to believe that Christmas will be nothing but a memory in less than one week! Friday night was our company Christmas party, and we had a grand ol’ time. At least I assume we did, though my recollection is a bit hazy. I am no stranger to the boozes, but I don’t usually mix ’em like IContinue reading “There’s an Echo in Here”

He’s the dude who goes to Burning Man every year, spends his lunch hour in the park strumming a guitar, and walks around the office barefoot. Anyway, he decidedContinue reading “Watchin’ the Sun Bake”

I’m Just Here for the Coffee

I had a dream last night that a coworker died. It’s weird enough dreaming about people you work with, even when they’re alive and well. I see these folks 8 hours a day. As much as I enjoy their company, I don’t necessarily want them to follow me home and crawl into bed with me. Err…so toContinue reading “I’m Just Here for the Coffee”
