“What was 7th grade Ben doing in school?” you may ask. This is it. Making an elaborate page of made up words to call people so they wouldn’t know what it meant when we made fun of them.

It was incredibly fascinating to hear this girls voice change so suddenly when you would never notice the change over time.

I know for a fact that I am much more productive when I’ve had time off and that when I start feeling like I need a vacation my work suffers. Oh well, I just have to suffer a few more hours.
