I try to be politically correct and refer to corgis as "vertically challenged." |

As in UPS, FedEx or DHL? Hard work, usually unreasonable time constraints. I'll keep you in my prayers. |

Similar, but a different outfit. Yeah, for what it was, it was finished in a tad under 7 hours, with no lunch break, not quite kosher in my book. We could have busted our butts just a tiny bit less, and had some lunch. It was about 3:30 when we cleared out. I was starving by then and I'm sure we'll only be paid for the actual time and not a full 8 hours.
I won't make a stink...yet, but I will check the labor laws. I know that in at least one state this would be illegal. |

I'm glad you have work, Z. It helps pay for that coffee habit you've got!

Get up extra early, eat a big breakfast, take vitamins and take a thermos or two to work.

  We're so proud! We knew he was super, but had no idea what getting "tanked" would do for him.
I'll see you all today at Olive Garden!  |
