Work

Like most adults, I work. However, I like my work and I love where I work, and who I work with. While the job doesn't pay as much as I'd like (what job does?), the satisfaction makes up for that. And here's a quick photo of where I work. We have a courtyard, with a corridor around it, and rooms facing the park we're in. So cool - especially now, in winter.



Yes, it snows here.

Cartoons

One of my favourite cartoons is Pibgorn, available at http://www.gocomics.com/features/120.

However, the cartoonist, the most wonderful Brooke McEldowney, is taking a break from the regular cartoon to tell a story that he wrote for his daughter when she was a younger lady than she is now.

In the meantime, the regular characters of Pibgorn, temporarily out of work, have had to take jobs out in the real world. Regular readers of the cartoon will recognize the name Satori: she's a very snappy dresser, and pretty handy with a sword. But since the rent has to be paid, and she's not actually IN the cartoon at the moment, here's her new place of employment - in Canada; in darkest Saskatchewan, to be precise.




Yup, she's reduced to cutting hair.

This, of course, is all quite silly, but the people who come here from the comfy couch of confusion at the cartoon site will understand why I posted it.

Me

I'm trying again to post photos. To start, here's one of me on the way to work about 4 years ago. It was a bit cool that day.


I took some photos a few days ago on my lunch break, and on the way home from work; I'll see if I can't get those up here soon.
