Whole-lotta-livin’ going on down-here.
Working at the home improvement store is turning out to be a really great thing. It’s not stressful, when I clock out I’m totally and completely done for the day, and I’m meeting lots of interesting people. It’s a fun work environment, unlike the previous job where everyone was fucking [...]
