3 Things

Posted on by

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

  1. I started drinking coffee when I was in elementary school.
  2. I’ve actually wanted to leave Phoenix several times but thus far it’s never quite worked out for me.
  3. I took a fancy version of shop in high school and learned how to read a schematic and built some cool stuff like a light bulb that turns on automatically in the dark. I could also tell you the amount of ohms in a transistor based on the color of the bands at the end of the transistor. I have no clue how to do any of that now.

Let’s Laugh Together

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I don’t expect my blog will bring big changes to the world but I do hope my blog resonates with at least a few people.  By no means would I say I’ve had a “hard” life but at the same time I had to endure experiences early on that others in my peer group have yet to navigate.

As such, I’ve always found humor or made my own humor in everyday life. I also like to stop and observe. I look for the details in the outdoors, at the grocery store, in my neighborhood – basically I’m always on the lookout for the interesting among the mundane.

This blog allows me to:

1) Share my experiences through the lens of humor to add levity to everyone’s day.

2) Disseminate the interesting among the mundane.

One of my goals for this blog is to create a safe space for discussion. In time I hope more of you chime in and comment on your experiences or at least share slices of your life that come to mind after reading something here. Let’s laugh at the absurd together!

Avoidance

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

Act busy to avoid getting more work assigned. If you’re already busy, act busier. Rinse and repeat. This also works if you want to avoid chatting with coworkers. If they want to ask you questions about work stuff, tell them to throw a meeting on your calendar. 90% of people from my experience will never willingly schedule a meeting but be prepared for the 10% that will. None of this is a guarantee of smooth sailing but it helps make the daily less rocky.

Good luck!
