About Last Night

| life | work |

It didn’t go so well. I spent 6 hours on my feet and made just enough money to buy a cup of coffee this morning that I am going to need to stay awake after that long shift.

HOPEFULLY! this weekend will be a lot better. I just do not understand peoples irrational fear of having someone park their car? It is the only thing that is truly free (tipping is optional) in Virginia Beach. They are paying for it when they get their $250 / night room so why not take advantage of it? I would honestly rather make nothing in tips than stand around doing nothing for six hours.

I am going to have to try a new approach to appeal to these people. If I make them think that they “need” to have their car parked or… if they do not have their car parked then they will be missing out on something then maybe they will be more inclined to let me do so. lol

But something really cute did happen. A Little kid came up to me and was like “Mr. can we ride the luggage carts?” hahaha.. i was like no buddy thats not safe sorry. Adorable!

As a journalist by training, I have what you might call an addiction to facts. I believe that there are things that are true and things that are not, and that we can determine one from the other through observation, rational thought, and meticulous resear…

Back to the Future

This past weekend, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and take a look at the evolution of this blog’s design over the years (with a little help from the Wayback Machine). While I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of making an obsessively backwards co…
