Tonight is the retirement dinner party for the recently departed CEO of the compay I work for. It’s at a swanky private club with a dress code and James is stressing about his attire. He has *a* suit, but he bought it years ago and never wears it and it doesn’t fit and doesn’t look [...]

This is really not so girlish, but I thoroughly dislike getting flowers. Cut flowers anyway. Flowers still growing in a pot are fine. I just really don’t like flowers in a vase. Why waste your money on something that’s going to wilt in three days, especially when growing it involved an unhealthy amount of pesticides [...]

I forgot to mention! My beater’s back on the road, since James showed me how to repack the hubs. I’m pretty chuffed with that, and the skytrain can bite my shiny metal ass. No more being stuffed in like sardines every morning! Also I looked at an apartment this morning… place I have is nice [...]

Went home early Tuesday. Stayed home all day yesterday. Today I dragged myself into work (an hour late, and left an hour early). I regret this decision since I feel even worse. If I’m still feeling terrible in the morning then it brings up the awkward dilemma of how to call in sick when you [...]
