Halloween is just around the corner and this may be the scariest year yet, because many places are either cancelling or being told they can't do Halloween.

The Amazing Race Bitter Friday Giftures
Race has been a tricky word this year, whether it be in the race for the presidency or other dealing with the different races in our country, but I think we should talk more about the Amazing Race, which just started its 32nd season?

Owner's manual's seem to come with everything. You get them for TV's and vacuum's and cars and camera's. Some people love them and some hate them.

Subject Lines Bitter Friday Giftures
When I was in 7th grade, our social studies teacher made us do this assignment where we had to pick a career that we wanted to do when we grew up.

Editing 2020 Bitter Friday Giftures
As writers, or wanna be writers like me, we are all pretty familiar with the editing process in one way or another.

Instagrammers are … Continue reading Editing 2020 Bitter Friday Giftures

I just started a new job a couple of months ago, and when they brought me to my desk, it was pretty plain. It has a computer, two monitors and well, a chair.

Attention Getting Bad Air Quality Bitter Friday Giftures
You would probably never guess this, but Utah has one of the worst air quality areas in the country. It's this weird weather phenomenon called the inversion that makes it that way.

The World has never been more clean Bitter Friday Giftures
When Dwight Shrute of The Office was at Phyllis' wedding, he proclaimed, "There's too many people in this world. We need a new plague." I always agreed with him, and we finally found it.

Bodycam for Work Bitter Friday Giftures
I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert), who is actually a pretty brilliant guy, with a good sense of humor. I'm much like him, except for his brilliance and sense of humor.

About a week ago, just like summer clockwork, our air conditioning pooped out during the biggest heatwaves of the summer. It's all about timing right?

It just seems to me that … Continue reading Air Conditioning Bitter Friday Giftures
Spreading the Cheer Bitter Friday Giftures
Don't you just love Christmas in July? Yeah, me neither. Hallmark does this thing every year where they try and recapture the magic of Christmas by showing their really bad Christmas specials during the hottest part of the year, July.
