SAFETY DAY has been achieved

Saturday, June 30th, 2018

And so the answers to all most some of my questions have been revealed! 1. A million kudos to the people who walked around both before and after the event saying things like, ‘Are you working?

My workplace is having a big event today — details have been a little sparse, though.

Not quite so clear: *Is the company open, other than SAFETY DAY festivities? (signs point to yes, at least […]

Thursday, June 28th, 2018

caturday

Saturday, June 23rd, 2018

It is possible my cat is better at using my computer than I am. For years, he has mainly found it useful for the screen — he can rub his face on it, what’s not to love? But recently he has started walking over the keyboard more and more, and has now progressed to sitting […]
