Got my new digs a few hops from the The Greene (no, not *at* The Greene as some of my coworkers believe. I can’t afford to live *at* The Greene). I now have a “Beavercreek” address instead of a “Dayton” address, which I think also makes me feel better. One bedroom, dishwasher, air conditioning, balcony, […]
The Apartment Hunt is Over! Read More »
There have been a lot of seriously not funny April Fool’s jokes today. The one at work was the least funny of all. Stop, people. Just stop. When you’ve had a lot of wacky, crazy shit happen to you over a very brief period of time, you’re primed for more wacky badness. It’s like mild
