Today, the Philadelphia area is experiencing a series of very hot days. When I say hot, I mean hot, like 90-100° F days. Perfect weather for doing some gardening and drying out the shadier parts of the city, thus killing some mosquitos and other critters. As I planted flowers and moved some pots around, I … Continue reading Meeting a neighbor..

When in doubt, get the app..
Hello fellow readers, writers, bloggers, vloggers, netizens and whatnot. Today's post is one about a simple acronym that I came up with (though at some point, I am sure it's come up before) and tell associates, coworkers, and others about during my coaching. When you think about what an employer/management wants from their subordinates, especially … Continue reading When in doubt, get the app..
Good News Everyone!
So I have a bit of good news to share with you all. I've finally entered into negotiations to buy a house! I've been extremely busy working to save money for closing costs and expenses and so finally it looks like it will pay off! I have the financing, the agreement of sale, ordered the … Continue reading Good News Everyone!
On Corporate Leadership
I write this post in a reflective mood. Oftentimes as a low-mid level manager I receive orders to enforce policies that are needed for security, safety, or both. Naturally I have no issues with this, as many companies have pretty standard and commonsense rules designed for workers have existed for millenia. The issue I do … Continue reading On Corporate Leadership
Easter Zombies
I am a lover of all things Christian, but was never much of a fan of Easter until only a few years ago. You see, being raised a Catholic, I was never really encouraged to read much of my Bible, save for a few passages now and then. Most of my old Christian education was … Continue reading Easter Zombies
What’s up with Radio?
Ok so I'll keep this fairly short. I was driving awhile ago, listen to music as I normally do when I hear a click in the song and the playback speed of the songs increases to almost chipmunk like speed. The songs were still full, no edits, but their speed increased and it became very … Continue reading What’s up with Radio?
Working in 2021
I can't believe that I have been in my new role for a little over 60 days. Just think: a little more than a year ago I was just starting out in this company. It was my first warehouse job and I was very inexperienced in the role. Today I am in a supervisory role, … Continue reading Working in 2021
Movie Review: Coming 2 America (Spoilers)
Last night I had the chance to see this movie with my family. I was, and still am, a fan of the original, so I was anxious to see the sequel. That's about the nicest thing I can say about this movie. It's a beautiful steaming pile of nostalgic garbage. I'm sorry for the actors … Continue reading Movie Review: Coming 2 America (Spoilers)
A long hiatus…
Well fellow readers, bloggers, and fans, things have been extremely busy these past several weeks. So I formally apologize to all of you for missing my goal ( and by missing I mean drastically missing) of a once weekly post. You see, it's a tough job to balance being a Supervisor, college work, pet care, … Continue reading A long hiatus…
Snowfall
I write this, having spent the last two days shoveling to keep my driveway and walkways cleared of the white fluffy stuff. I am of course talking about the recent snowfall in the Philadelphia area. It seemed like everytime I shoveled more just fell. Luckily I got it all up and was happy to do … Continue reading Snowfall
