THE STICKY

I work in a shared office on a university campus, and my humble cubicle is defined by two opaque glass partitions. Privacy is nice — these make it harder for my colleagues to see when I’m scouting talent for my fantasy basketball team, or when sorting prices from low to…

THE BAG

ELDERLY LADY (waving): Go ahead dear. ME (graciously): After you ma’am. ELDERLY LADY (smiling): Thank you dear. She started pushing her cart forward once again. I felt jars of peanut butter on my back as I pressed against the shelf to make space — right, that was on the list. …
