Our office only takes up half the floor in a building of mainly full floor offices. This was a similar arrangement to our last building. And, like the last building, I noticed a particular phenomenon: bathroom tourists. People come from other floors to use our bathroom. They can access them because they're in a common hallway, unlike the dedicated floors. I never do, but I always want to call them out, or at least charge them a resort fee.

Alas, there's not a twentieth month.

At the local park district pool where the kids take lessons, I do appreciate that, despite the staff being a bunch of teenagers, they do maintain an almost military like attention to lifeguarding discipline while they’re on duty.

I'm not sure why, but the trees in our yard have the majority of the squirrel nests in the area. As it's winter, you can see there's almost none in the trees surrounding around house, but we have about like 7-8 of them. We don't put out food or have gardens for them to plunder, so I don't how we have so many.

Sorry, more packaging complaints.

We don't have the fancy glass stuff, but we do utilize plastic food storage containers you can find at your local grocery store. Naturally, you have to recycle and replace some now and then, but they keep changing the shape of everything so nothing goes together in the cupboard. I suppose that encourages you to give them more of your money, but it's a pain.

I hate those BK commercials as anyone else, but the estate of Wesley Willis should definitely consider legal action.

My boss gave me a nice scarf for the Holidays. I just started wearing it recently and am surprised of the difference it makes. There's only one scarf I've worn with any regularity before this, and that was one a dear friend knitted me in high school, which I wore all the time back then. The currently relapse has kept things a little cozier in these cold times.
