David, having a completely appropriate reaction to Miami Connection.

Towards the end of my time working in a call center for AT&T in 2009, there was a day when I was riding a transfer to another office, my phone muted while whoever the customer was supposed to be talking to in the first place actually fixed their problem. I had my headset disconnected, the cord hidden in my hand so that I wasn’t breaching their privacy and was reminiscing about the days when I was a teenager working in a truck stop. I thought back to that time I thought someone had dropped a candy bar on the floor of the bathroom only to discover it was actually a half a Baby Ruth sized turd, laying about two feet in front of the toilet. When I told people the story, I called it “The Reverse Caddyshack.”
This is like that, but in reverse.
A Double Reverse Caddyshack, if you will.
The fact that I had this moment while being taught how to treat one of our elderly resident’s hemorrhoids might be a sign that I’ve made a good career decision.

This is not an endorsement of this terrible series that paints all foreigners as mysterious, otherworldly beings. I think I was on my third episode of a show that talked about people of various other ethnic groups without ever bothering to talk to any of them when I had to abandon ship.

Carrying home a take-n-bake pizza in the rain. The wrapping was fairly water-tight, thankfully.

I have an obsessive nature, which is why I’m glad I never got into drugs but is also why I need to have no access to video games from time to time.

I think I wanted to be tucked in. What the hell, brain?


I lost my first resident today.

If I’m honest, I think this mostly comes from thinking we’re not worthy of things.

I have worked sedentary desk jobs since I was 21. I’m … not used to this yet.
