On this day, September 12th, 2007, our last dog, Friendly, is being put down -- possibly even as I write this. It's the same situation as Lady -- healthy and still full of life, yet all but crippled in the back end.

After the nightmare that was Tigertel (my heart really does go out to Dan for still being employed there), I've been back at HRM Woodside for the last couple of weeks and possibly (re: hopefully) more. Their employment term doesn't go past this week, I will heave a sigh of frustration and resume doing the scramble-to-get-work dance ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to make this post since Monday. Oops ( Read more... )
