On Things I Wonder About

Those rubber band balls you can buy at office supply stores? You know. The ones that are the size of a baseball. Round. Made entirely of rubber bands. And which would probably hurt like a motherfucker if you threw it at someone. Yeah, those rubber band balls. How are they made? Is it a machine?Continue reading “On Things I Wonder About”

Another Day Gone

My supervisor called. He wanted to know how I was doing, how I was holding up. Not in the business sense. In the personal sense. I had a headache. Not a dull buzz, not quite an all-encompassing migraine. Just a sharp pain. I was tired. Sleep has been odd, and fleeting. I need an occasionalContinue reading “Another Day Gone”
