Participation Required, Please

Last night at church my friend Trey McQuaig told me about a little game that I though sounded like a fun way to pass some time at work.


So this morning, I started off with his first challenge: by clicking the links on a Wikipedia article, try to get from “Shakespeare” to “Mac” (Macintosh/Apple). I thought it sounded a little tricky, but I underestimated my powers. I was able to get there in

Political Visit

Today, Governor Rick Scott came for a visit to the good ‘ole Department of Corrections. ALL of the Central Office employees were required to attend his address, which was held on the ground floor of our parking garage.

It was supposed to begin at 3 p.m., and about ten minutes before, four almost-identical black SUV’s made a spectacle of pulling in and backing around, making sure to face the

Practical Advice from Chocolate

I then retreated to my dry, warm house for the perfect afternoon combination of movie rest time and craft time.Painting is one of my favorite crafts. I'm not very good at it, and things certainly don't look perfect, but it is fun and relaxing.

Predicament

I’ve been having some struggles this week, and I just want to write about it to get it off my chest a little bit – so, sorry for a slightly boring post…Earlier in the week on Sunday night I said something rude to a good friend, and offended this person a whole lot. I immediately felt bad, tried to call them, and got the voicemail. I pseudo-apologized, and asked for a return call for a proper
