Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Even though I’m unemployed, Mondays still feel like Mondays. Somehow, that just doesn’t seem fair. :) The weekend was nice though. On Friday I was asked to be interviewed for a story that would be aired on CBC.

The one Christmas ornament that BF and I have (a tiny little figurine), is still out on display. What? Nobody comes to visit us. Ordered the Skyn night cream online a few weeks ago, and asked for it to be delivered to my office. Hopefully they will … Continue reading →

Dear co-workers, Please throw away your yogurt in the fridge that expired November 6, 2007. That’s just nasty. Sincerely,
