Fridays

Today is my last day of temping. To celebrate, they tried to kill me. There has been much vocal sadness over my leaving - although I do let them know that I will stay if they match the salary & benefits package being offered at my new job. Then there is just [...]

The Face of Evil

Banks.
All of them.
They all suck.
I wanted a new account with a local bank, so I filled out the online application. I never heard from them. So, I decided they sucked. So, I filled out another application with a different bank. They requested my current account information for funding purposes. I [...]

That makes [...]
