I sell produce now. It's my day job. My night job is a little different than my day job. They told me to keep my day job. So I sell produce now.
My friend owns a produce stand at a farmer's market. It's a quaint little stand. He gets crushed on by sweet, and mean, old ladies. They know his name, and some even give him nicknames like lover boy.
I’m really excited to start my new summer job this year. I’m working at a local music store as a novice repair tech/general lackey. I absolutely love tinkering around with the instruments.

As I look into my far future, I ponder on these questions:
