I’m sick of talking about cars. I’m a car salesperson, which means talking about cars is what I do all day, every day, and I am over it. I just want to go one day without mentioning the latest car model and brand, or trying to make potential customers feel so special that they just …
Well, this magical paintbrush doesn’t help with plaster repair, I’ll tell you that much. See, my boss sent me out to complete a plastering job on the other side of town. I was running a bit late, so when I got there I figured I’d try using the Paintbrush of Destiny to fix the hole …

My mum’s car is her prized possession. She’s been maintaining it since she was thirty, and now at sixty she has passed the baton to me to continue the tradition. Needless to say, I’m feeling the pressure. She loves this car just as much as she loves me, so if I did anything wrong, she …
I’ve been working in this factory for twenty years now. Where did all the time go? I feel like it was just last week that I was finishing high school, bright-eyed and hopeful for the future. I was going to be a movie star! I had a few auditions lined up, nailed my year twelve …
