Exploding Doughnut: Yellow Quarter!
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/06/yellow-quarter.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Sunday, June 28, 2015. Among the everyday pennies and nickels and dimes. A quarter with the heads-side painted yellow! I discovered it at work while finalizing this morning's bank deposit for the crafts store. I felt compelled to take it and swapped one of my own quarters for the sun-colored one. The way the letters and profile are (for the most part) visible with only the background painted. It almost looks like it was created that way. Im so...

Exploding Doughnut: Vacuuming on Valentine's Day.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/02/vacuuming-on-valentines-day.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Vacuuming on Valentine's Day. I asked several of my coworkers what their plans were for Valentine's Day. All of them said spending the day with their boyfriend/girlfriend. When they asked me in return, I replied, "Vacuuming at home.". Sadly, that's the truth. Even though Valentine's Day can be hard for those of us who are single, I'm still very happy for the people who do. Have someone to love and be in love with.

Exploding Doughnut: Two becomes three…again.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/03/two-becomes-threeagain.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Sunday, March 22, 2015. Two becomes three…again. I've waited a LONG time for something better and it finally happened. I got a new part-time job! It's in another department of the university I already work for. The afternoon shift. Perfect because I can work the new job and literally take one floor down to my night-shift at the second job (I'm allowed to work in two different departments). I know I can do it again.

Exploding Doughnut: Getting it all out.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/07/getting-it-all-out.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Getting it all out. I've cried a lot these past couple of days. A person can only hold it in for so long. Self-sabotage. Disappointment. Loneliness. When will I be done with them already? There's the life I have and there's the life I want. I fear the two will never meet. And I have yet to find a man that will accept me as I am and love me with everything he has. Pen and marker in Moleskine journal - (NFS). Thats a power...

Exploding Doughnut: For rent.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2012/09/for-rent.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Saturday, September 15, 2012. I couldn't figure out why I was getting so upset. Maybe it's because I was out in the BRIGHT afternoon sun for two hours or hadn't eaten lunch and was tired. Surely it shouldn't be that frustrating. I went apartment hunting yesterday. Not at the actual insides but just the addresses of several buildings. To see if I even wanted to live there, what the locations where like, and what I could afford. It wont take you...

Exploding Doughnut: Love is out there.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/02/love-is-out-there.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Saturday, February 28, 2015. Love is out there. Another LONG week working in the city. Freshly-fallen snow crunched at my feet as more showered down between the skyscrapers. Across the street were three construction signs, lined up one after the other. Someone had drawn a heart on their snow-covered faces. Someone still believes in love,. It has become increasingly discouraging for me being alone and single (more than usual). March 11, 2015 at...

Exploding Doughnut: Surprise!!
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/04/surprise.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Something was up when I got to work. I just didn't know what exactly. Today is my 36th birthday and my coworkers at my university job threw me a party! There was pizza and snacks and pop and delicious cake… chocolate cake! The wall in the back office at work. I was overwhelmed by their generosity and kindness- all for me. Even my student workers brought stuff in, saying I'm always bringing stuff in for them. Im the bi...

Exploding Doughnut: Buying flowers for work.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/05/buying-flowers-for-work.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Sunday, May 24, 2015. Buying flowers for work. Normally I pick out a bouquet for myself. This time around, I bought flowers for my night-time university job. Here they are! Sunny chrysanthemums, inviting daisies, and soft carnations to greet students as they leave and enter our department. I think the blooms add a punch of color and life to the front desk and they make me smile when I walk past them. Why not share that with others? Kelley MacD...

Exploding Doughnut: Wearing Jesus.
http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/06/wearing-jesus.html
Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Saturday, June 6, 2015. It only cost me a few dollars online but it's one of the most important purchases I've made. A simple wooden cross to wear around my neck at work. I've) got Jesus on my neck-a-lace. Normally I don't wear jewelry at all. So it felt odd putting it on for the first time yet it felt so right. So far I've only been wearing it at my university job(s) and on days I need it most. June 7, 2015 at 3:12 PM. In the Catholic Church,...
