Back to work I go...my "weekends" go very quickly, but the work week tends to as well. I've gotten the hang of the whole C.O. thing, it's a lot of saying "no" a pretty fair amount of lying to people and the rest of the time trying to ascertain when people are lying to you (spoiler alert...it's damn near constantly). I stopped by my storage...

Man...I think my major purchase list is as follows, a house (cause I'm old and have a for real grown ass man job with which I can afford one) a couch (cause ever since I moved out I've had various chairs many of which are very comfortable, but I've yet to have a couch and I goddamned love couches) and finally a hot tub...my best...

I spent so long sounding like the love child of Mike Rowe and Barry White that I had a moment...

I took my nephew out for a belated 21st birthday celebration last night, I'd had a trying evening at work which concluded with me with my hand in a toilet, I managed to fish out four screws and a spring, I thought this was a crummy end to my night until I heard earlier in the evening the same inmate had a rather large nail...

It's December 17th and that means...it's my tattoo's birthday! Now I'm sure most of you folks out in SG land don't consider such things, but me, having but one measly little tattoo, it seems a cause for revelry. The ole fella looks just as handsome as the day he was embedded under my skin forever. A lot of thought went into my tattoo and it...

Working in corrections affords folks some very interesting scenarios in their lives for example this interaction between myself and a recently convicted murderer of some notoriety in St. Louis (He was convicted of 25 charges in addition to first degree murder). So I'm going around the different areas of the housing unit I work in doing my evening count and as I walk past his...

Is troubled, worried, put off and certainly feeling out of sorts right now.
