hipsunderhands asked how my holiday season was going. It's okay. I had a ton of extremely stressful work stuff in the week leading up to Christmas (arrrrgh) and I am still sort of in recovery from that, at this point. I did get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day free, which is nice, and went to see my parents, which was mostly nice although occasionally less nice. ( Read more... ) -

my street has been under construction since July.
MUM: Well, I think you have to have a different perspective when you work in city planning.
ME: "Screw you guys"?
MUM: Pretty much, yeah. -
all that and a bag of chips
My purse, when I got home this evening, contained:
One fuzzy hat.
One notebook.
One thin black shawl thing.
One copy of my resume.
My wallet.
My cell phone.
My bus pass.
A hardcover copy of Courtesans and Fishcakes, by James Davidson ( Read more... ) -
