  • I over slept for work that morning and my mother screamed that I needed to get out of bed because the world was on fire.

    I got my work clothes on in a minute because I was a teenage dirt bag, baby. By the time I got to the living room she was in tears because the Pentagon was going up in smoke.

    I’m not sure if it was survival instinct or what, but I said, ‘Silly Government, tricks are for kids!’

    I just remember her shouting, “This is serious!” As I dashed to my car.

    The radio sucked that morning. Pretty much all the fm band was nothing but church talk. The walkman I had plugged into my stereo was off charge, so I had to listen to some Spanish sermon as I wondered if the Spencer’s I worked at was going to be blown up.

    This has been a ‘9-11 Moment’, reply with ‘I was there.’ if you’d like to know more.

    The grocery/retail worker Union in my city sucks for newbs. Takes a large chunk of your paycheck every two weeks until you gain seniority after 24 months, then you can be a lazy bastard as much as you want.

    Unions are great, some suck.

    I should’ve been a teamster, so lazy and surly…

    It’s odd, after years of washing dishes for a job I can’t stand the smell of garlic or onions when it is coming from the grease left over on a plate or cook wear, but when they are first being cooked the aroma makes my mouth water.

    The nose, she is fickle.
