    Soul crushing. I’m incredibly good at the job but every morning, I look at my case queue and the shotgun on my shelf starts glowing purple.

    I wouldn’t have been good at any other career, but maybe I could have been happy while floundering.


  • I’ve always had an obsession with maps, which as an adult has brought me to wanting to visit the “extremes” of the world. Far north, far south points of things. But I’m not the adventurous type so a lot of those places are just never going to happen. Nuuk has always been high on my list of places that would be neat, while not being impossible to get to comfortably.

    Professors are burned and jaded so much by students taking advantage of their test taking policies that they fail to see when there should absolutely be an exception. Visible medical emergencies are certainly one of them. They should not only not be professors, they should be fired or arrested for endangering you. It’s crazy that sort of thing can just happen, but it’s absolutely realistic having been through it.


  • Years ago, a buddy got me going to his gym so he could show me the ropes. He’d been lifting most of his life and I really trusted him. It was the sort of gym where people go to do serious work. A lifter’s lifting gym. Everyone there looked so serious and were pressing so much weight. I have never been that sort.

    But they were all incredibly kind to me. Helped me when they thought I needed it. Never in a demeaning way. Any bad vibes I got from them was pretty much on me.

    Those were really cool times. The gym would shut down about two years later and I haven’t really gone to a gym since.
