Another year has come & gone. <\/p>\n
There’ve been a lot of changes around here during the last year (and thanks to this blog, I can remember them all). I’ve seen my workplace go from a small corner office (with ugly 70’s-style orange carpeting) to a nice big office (with neutral gray carpeting) with no windows (which I prefer). I’ve seen 2 new cute bunnies find there way into my home. I’ve seen myself loose some of that awful weight I gained while couriering. <\/p>\n
