On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I’m often flippant about mental illness. Come on. I have a blog named “Taste Like Crazy”. How can I NOT be “lacking in seriousness; characterized by levity” about it? And, if I wanted to be completely honest, I’d say that “levity” is a coping mechanism and we all have them. Mine is making light of… Continue reading The Fight You Must Fight
I fired my shrink today. How’s that for an opening line? I knew from the first time I met him [actually before I met him] that he most likely wasn’t going to be a good “fit” for me; he was almost 30 minutes late for our initial appointment. Not exactly a wonderful first impression. I think I’ve… Continue reading Customer Service and I Fired My Shrink
I’ve been slacking on this whole “work” thing like crazy [imagine that] and haven’t checked my email in a coon’s age.

I have a mild “social anxiety” disorder so public speaking is one of those things that I don’t really do. I mean, I CAN-anyone CAN-but I choose not to. That’s one reason why I have yet to take Speach in college even though it’s a Freshman level class and I have enough hours …
The guy who killed himself on Friday was a co-worker of Tucker’s. I had met him once and found him charming. He was a good looking, tattooed guy who seemed to be very polite, if a bit “twitchy”. His parents found him in their garage; he had pulled his car into the garage, shut the… Continue reading Suicide
I am in one dark mood today. Tucker noticed it a couple of days ago and I was totally oblivious. I didn’t think anything was wrong, but I guess he really does know me better than I know myself. I really noticed my shit mood this morning. I’ve got a hair trigger temper and the… Continue reading Dark Mood Cometh
