034 notes of a life
The weather has hardly been impressive lately; however one deals with it as one must, despite the chill. It is almost March, but sub-zero windchill is clearly in vogue this year ( Read more... ) -
033 unimpressed
Incompetence is rarely acceptable in any arena; however, it seems to flourish unabated amongst bureaucrats whose sole contribution to the topic at hand is seniority. This is offensive, though I suppose a regrettable side effect of the faceless machine that institutions resemble ( Read more... ) -

031 on fluctuations and pressures
It occurs to me as winter settles in that the apartment is by turns overly warm or overly cold. There seems to be no middle ground between freezing or overheating.

I have left grocery money on the kitchen counter. Do not use it to purchase confectionary, Rukia.Today has been quite hectic. It appears that I am to help out in the auction. ( Read more... )
