At work today, I had a short conversation with the woman in line at our puzzle store. She was saying how strange it was that her son was so violent. I rang her up. She was buying a WWII game and a World of Warcraft puzzle. I have a guess on the violence thing, lady. I'm dumbmemployed.

At work today, I finally finished the month long project of collecting newspaper clippings. I closed the folder and asked what I needed to do next. "Well, the newspaper comes out daily," they said. I opened the folder again. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I started wedging a pillow between my chair an my back for support. At 3:15, my boss tugged it out from under me. "Put your back into it!" he shouted and laughed. He didn't return the pillow. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I heard music in the store and thought that maybe- just maybe- we finally got a radio. Not the case. A busker was playing accordion outside. The beggars have better sound systems than our store. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my wife and I were trying to improve our small resale business with new window treatments. Apparently, nobody told her how well tape measure works. We made three trips back to the store. I'm dumbemployed.
