Another Day, another Dollar

So, working at Target makes for a lot of stories.

*Disclaimer, I am not an official spokesperson for Target, simply a Team Member*

Let me take the time to lay out a few rules for Target.

1. If you press a call box/use a help phone, I automatically hate you.

Every week we get a score based on how many call boxes go off. If we get too many, our store gets a red score, and we go on corrective action. Don't press them. I can almost guarantee that there is a… Continue

Sunday, May 31, 2009: Assorted Items

Today was pretty groovy. I did very little, but it's the kind of inactivity that is relaxing, not boring. We all had a really awesome dinner. Baked potatoes, pork chops, watermelon,… Continue

Dear Hank Green, Sara has a question.

So, I had a question that I never had a chance to take up with Hank during the weekend of LeakyCon. Well, mostly Sunday... but you get the point. I was hoping to eventually maybe sort of get a response. I'd be interested in what he would have to say about this.... so I made a video about it.

Here it… Continue

Obama

I believe Obama doesn't get how to use his role as president. And I HATE how most Americans believe we aren't still in war. We are. Everyone thinks Obama took all the soldiers out of Iraq they are still there. They won't stop attacking us if we leave or make friends...9/11 HELLO!!!

Watch All Brotherhood 2.0 Videos

Is watching all the existing BH2 videos a requirement or something to be a nerdfighter? When I first found them there was no question that I had to watch them all, but then again there were only 7 months worth of videos. Now that there's... wow, almost two and… Continue

Saturday, May 30, 2009: The End of a Brief Hiatus

I put my blog on a two-day hiatus to concentrate on studying for an online exam, but I am back now, and I'm enjoying it.

So my godson and his mom are staying the weekend, and that's pretty dandy. What's not dandy is the fact that they went to see the Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry without me. Not. Okay. In what universe does my mom exist that she thinks leaving… Continue

Friends Become Nerdfighters

Last time I made something like this, I only converted one person into a Nerdfighter. Now, I have converted 5 people into nerdfighters. My mom was the second person when she read all three of john's books. At school, I told a girl about the vids and loves them. My friend Adrian became person number four when I told him about the ning and loves the chat. Recently, I converted my cousin Jenny into one when I let her borrow my copy of An Abundance of Katherines.
