Dealing with cops is never fun. Federal cops are even less fun. I dealt with a lot of cops at my first job, but the US Marshals were above and away the worst I had the displeasure of encountering.
A rather awkward surprise birthday party
As previously noted I was not the most socially adept person as a college student, but I was also “blessed” with an abundance of friends who were determined to “solve” my problems. In this instance took it upon themselves to drag me on what has certainly been, my most unique birthday adventure to date.
Whisky, Cigars, and Football Camp
My favorite college job wasn’t even my job technically, but was some friends of mine. This is the tale of us going above and beyond to deliver excellent customer service in the sort of irresponsible way only unsupervised college students can.
How I learned the customer isn’t always right
In the summer before my freshman year of college I helped a friend of mine (the ex-boyfriend of prom story fame) move into a new apartment near where he was going to school.

That time I ended up in New Jersey for five years
As my (second) senior year of college was winding down I felt pretty good about my future. I had a month and a half to go before my final set of college finals, I had just gotten married, things were good. My wife had another year of school still, this gave me plenty of time […]
That time Izzy went to her senior prom
Once upon a time I was an awkward nerdy boy, not cool in anyway and definitely not taking care of my body. I blundered through high school, a complete romantic failure; an incel in the modern parlance. Spring of my senior year came, and that meant prom season, this was it, my last pretense to […]
