I know you’re short on money, but WRONGFULLY towing cars??? Give me a break. The reason that you towed my car? Parking in the same spot for over 72 hours. Consider this an outline of my protest letter. (Some background: I returned from a work-related trip in Boston on Monday, February 9. I had left…

But before I get into that, check me out: There’s a little quiz at glassbooth.org that helps you find out which presidential candidate most closely aligns with you. I don’t usually post about politics much here, probably because I’m not much of a political person. But…

Here’s a chalkboard summary of my summer in China: I don’t like to be friendly. I don’t like people. I don’t like friendly people. I don’t like sharing food. I don’t like hugs in hot weather. Thanks a lot for not letting me be comfortable, FRIENDS.

In the company parking lot. No one came to clean up this cat that’s been dead for too long, so we took matters into our own hands, literally. Apologies for the poor quality…it was taken with my phone.
