I have the sleeping habits of a 65-year old. No, really. Stop laughing. My girlfriend makes fun of me endlessly for it. On weeknights, I totally need to be in bed by midnight, or I’d be so grumpy and unproductive the next morning that I’d make the Grinch look like a cute, fluffy, green bunny. […]
Success! I’ve managed to successfully stay away from caffeinated coffee for the past two weeks. Sure, it was a pain in the ass at times, but this was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in weeks. You can check out the full objectives of this LifeTest in the original log here. So why did I
I can take my clothes off pretty fast (but not in the way you think, you perv). I picked up this awesome skill back in the military. Our commanders used to regularly punish us with “change parades” – these crazy exercises where we’d have to change out of our army uniforms into a t-shirt and

If you are going to do something, you better have a damned good reason for it. Doing something feels good. Doing something creates the illusion of
Dear Office Email, It’s time you knew the truth. I hate you. Like smash-you-with-a-baseball-bat-if-you-were-a physical-object kind of hate.Whenever I see you, a fluffy little bunny dies along with a part of my soul. We didn’t use to be like this. Once upon a time, I used to love turning you on. You were the first
So last week, I had to get my iPhone fixed. Why? Because my speaker broke down. I knew I had to get it fixed when my girlfriend (who has never seen Star Wars in her life), called me and claimed that Darth Vader answered the phone: What I thought I sounded like: “Hey so I’ll
Loved yesterday’s Dilbert strip which gives some excellent career advice: If you want your company to value you, start by being valuable first.
