My So Called Life
All the random ass shit that happens. Read at your own risk.
Day-to-day dispatches from a life that is technically ordinary and somehow never boring. Work problems, relationship observations, aging indignities, boundary violations, and the occasional moment of genuine clarity that makes all the rest of it worth it. The catch-all category for everything that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else — which, honestly, describes most of real life.Ennui Creeps In – Every Day is Exactly the Same
Every day I drive to work, do my job, then drive home. Wash, rinse, and repeat. Every day feels exactly the same. It is not an unhappy situation, and I am not even sure if I should fight the wave of creeping ennui. But I worry that I am going to snap.

My coworker faked a COVID quarantine to get out of work during a staff shortage. His Snapchat location told a different story. I am waiting for karma to do its thing.
Call for Concern
Going back to work after a month of lockdown, watching people at the oil change place ignore masks entirely. Willful ignorance is going to kill us all.
