A Tale of Two Cities

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens

I can tell this book is going to be an awesome adventure... and curiously relevant.

Adventures on the way to work

On my way in this morning I was standing at the corner waiting for the light to change so I could cross the street when a man began barfing in the public trashcan a few feet away from me. Not my idea of a great start to the work day.

A Day in the Life of a Seagull

Sulley the Seagull was not as sullen as his name implied. In fact, he was a quite arduous and energetic winged rat. Cunning and mysterious, he would fly around all day, looking to manage as much mischief as possible. However, on this particular day, he perched precisely upon the little ledge outside the Klickitat Conference Room windows. It was fate that brought their worlds together, both Sulley’s and the packet stuffing crew. The group never worked in this conference room, and it had recently been moved to this new corner space beside the perch Sulley landed on. When he arrived, the group was excited by one particular person’s announcement that “we have a friend!” Sulley pretended not to notice the group of ladies admiring him from so close up inside the building. He had a look around, scratched his itches, and took off on his way, being sure to spread his wings as far as they would span in order to impress the ladies. It was going to be a good day for both him and the ladies of the Klickitat Conference Room Packet Stuffing Party.
