In two separate conversations with two different people this weekend I was asked "you know Craig in that band Coworkers?" and "I went to that Lemuria/Coworkers show Tuesday, did you go?" Yuppers.

As I may have noted, one of the perks of my current job is the free stuff. Ever couple weeks, someone leaves or gets evicted from an apartment in one of the buildings we manage. It is very common for these people to just flat out take off (since they usually owe money) and leave all their stuff behind. Not everything...the tv and computer (you know ( Read more... )

Most days at work are fairly repetitive, but today there was a dog incident. I was out in front of one of our buildings on Richmond and this girl was walking her dogs by. Except one of them wasn't her dog. She calls me over and asks if I knew whose beagle this was. I guess it had been following her and her dog for blocks. I had no idea, but next ( Read more... )

They opened a new Price Rite in the former Latinia's building (my fave B-lo supermarket until it closed 2 years ago). I visited and was impressed. It is set up like a warehouse-type store...there are no shelves just pallets piled high, which form aisles. Prices are very good. They beat Tops and Wegmans on most bulk items and fresh produce. Now are ( Read more... )
