kamronsmiraclemission asked: Is this where I can comment? This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. If this had been a real emergency, Derek would actually call me, cause he has been better at doing that than I have. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Facebook post that you will watch with anticipation to see how many people comment.

Dear John, (or Jane)
When I graduated high school I didn’t have a computer. I didn’t have a cell phone. I didn’t have a beeper. What I did have was a handful of friends that I would talk to on a daily basis. A handful of real human connections that I would have to interact with to find out how they were doing or what they thought of me. If I found a girl attractive, I’d have to muster the...

Live Loves Labor.
My birthday fell on a Monday this year. The last three, including my 30th, had all arrived on the weekend which made easy the design and implementation of their celebration. Yet this year I found my mood to be appropriately matching in tone and pace that of the quiet solitude of a day spent playing hooky from work rather then the customary drunken lauding of my successfully surviving another...

Talk to Strangers
I work in a spacious; one story office building that was converted out of a long abandoned Wal-Mart. It was actually the first Wal-Mart I had ever been to. Pretty historic right? My desk is a beige padded semi-circle outfitted with dual monitors, a telephone and a Swingline stapler. If this building was still a Wal-Mart my desk would be in the check out isle and I would be a greeter. Most work...
An observation.
Working in a bank + listening to Rage Against the Machine = an emotional conflict of interest.

Sports Writing Example
DETROIT- It was “Elvis Night” on Friday at Comerica Park and the Detroit Tigers had the Minnesota Twins “all shook up” winning 7-3. The win, their forth in a row, adds to an already dominant home record of 31-12, besting all major league teams. The Tigers pounced on Twins starter Francisco Liriano for seven runs in just 1 1-3 innings. It was Carlos Guillen’s two-run triple to left that...

The Coal Fire of Centralia, PA. →
I’ve just read a fascinating story that many of you may already be familiar with. But for those as ignorant as myself meet Centralia, PA. Home to a coal fire that was started in 1962 when the town was burning it’s garbage in an abandoned coal mine and has yet to be extinguished. Experts say that the fire might could potentially burn for over 250 years!!!
Remember To Remember.
I want you to try something with me. Close your eyes… WAIT, I guess you better read this first then try it yourself. Regardless, after reading this, close your eyes and recall a moment of contented joy. When you’ve got one, hold it in your mind and take a look around. Look at the ground. Is the pavement rough or smooth? Or are you standing in the grass? Maybe you’re wading in the ocean. ...
ert84 asked: Aren't we doing casual until September? What's up with the slacks?
Business Slacks
I think my place of employment must be the most crucial component supporting the “Business Slacks” industry in Melbourne.
Dear Co-Worker
Here’s a bit of advice. Don’t run the stop signs in the parking lot and cut in front of me. You know as well as I do that our destinations are the same and the walk from our cars to the front door will be made painfully awkward by your misstep. Have a great day…

Jury Duty
Judge “Suchandsuch” stood at the flimsy podium and broke the truth to his captive, albeit indifferent audience. “Most of you won’t even be picked for a jury today. Your presence here is mostly a motivator I use to expedite a settlement and avoid going to trial.” His Honor is a slight man, almost corporate in appearance. Interchangeable really with any in a line of self important jerks...
