Office Jobs Are Weird
Having an office job is weird. And I’m only like a week and a half in! “But Ian, haven’t you worked in an office before?” Not really. If you go over my extensive (and vaguely entertaining) employment history, none of … Continue reading
New Year, Short Post
Behold, the obligatory post about the new year. My actual new year’s eve was nice. Snoozed, hung out with Jerry (who was being very photogenic), woke up in time to watch the countdown at the space needle. Quiet and simple, … Continue reading
Unfortunate Actions that Cannons Do
*sigh* It really hasn’t been a banner week so far. Things started off on Monday with the guy I’ve been seeing (and having a very good time with) breaking things off with me while he works on some personal stuff. … Continue reading
