Remember when you were a kid and it felt like Christmas was always so far away? It was agony and torture, waiting for the big day. "UUUUUGH! How many more weeks?" And now, it's like, "OOOOOHCRAP! How many more weeks??!?!? Shit shit shit shit!"

As Jesus Christ the Redeemer did suffer on the cross, so too must Blart get bukkaked get by a small child's dripping ice cream cone. Thus a new covenant with God is forged. #Deathblart

On the shuttle thoughts: I watched a man in a suit walk beneath some trees as they shuddered in the autumn wind, dropping yellowed leaves on him like a pale, golden rain. He never lifted his eyes off the cold granite sidewalk. This is how you miss the magic all around you, people. LOOK. UP.

What is “The Craft of Writing”?
“Writing is easy. All you do is cross out all the wrong words.” – Mark Twain You’ve written an action-packed plot full of great twists. It’s got fascinating characters who grow and develop. You’ve maintained a consistent point of view, provided incredible descriptions of the setting, and even offered a profound message. Yet, every time you read the story, it feels flat.

Cube Chronicles: I finally got an attorney's travel authorization forms signed by ALL the parties and used my home scanner to send it to Finance. I received an email telling me that "this doesn't look like the others and won't be accepted."

In 5 days, I will be 60 years old. I've been thinking about what advice I would give to my younger self. And then I thought: what would my older self say to me now? And it came to me: In 20 years, you will have lost more people than you gain. So, appreciate everyone now.

Tomorrow is Dear Coworker's last day. It's got me thinking: What would I do if it was my last day? What would I do in retirement? How long before seeing Brian day in and day out would drive me to the brink of becoming a Dateline episode?

Woke up this morning thinking about my WIP. I thought that was a good sign that I'm on the right track. Then a voice roughened by a thousand cigarettes called in from the back of my head, "You're trying to put a tuxedo on a platypus." Go home, Muse, you're drunk.

SO, I received an officewide email about a Bake-Off. I like snacks. As I was leaving, an old man said, "Know what they call people like you? Drive Thrus. They just come, take what they want and leave." I said, "If you don't want the Devil to come to your door, don't put out a welcome mat."

I dreamt I was lost and couldn't find my way home. Then I thought, "Hey, call for an Uber." So I found a pub, set up for a driver, had a glass of Cabernet, and waited for my driver. Even my dreams are basic bitches.
