I need someone book someone on three separate 1.5 hour events working in the gay bars. Ideally it’d be one person working all three events. Pay is $30/hour and your job will be a promotional model (handing out drink samples, talking to bar guests, etc.). Super simple work.

You know you’re jealous.
Yeah, but Tony Sarabia gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Didn’t he just shake your hand?
Earlier that day...
Dear middle-aged coworker:
Here we are, standing at the same commercial photocopier/printer, each with our own goal. I have no doubt that you believe your goal is either more important or more urgent than mine by the look of stanky exasperation etched across your puffy face. But the fact remains, I sent my 600-page print job to this printer before you arrived here with your 4-page brochure to...
Things that just happened
Bruce rested a bottle of beer between his stomach and the arm of the chair in which he is sitting.
He burped, because he’s classy.

When the Left Brain Meets the Right: Random... →
I remember when I was still in the closet and going to see the fireworks on the 4th of July and wishing for the day that I’d be able to watch them with a boyfriend (I’m a silly romantic, I know). Flash forward to today where I am watching the fireworks next to Will at my sister’s house surrounded…
