I discovered, to my delight, that the cubicle partitions, make a great backdrop for a puppet show.  So one day after I had been at work for few hours and needed some wake me up, stimulation, human contact…..  I did a little puppet show for my friend on the other side.  This got me what I wanted; some laughs, people adding their own creative elements on to it and a bit of a break from the repetition of our work. … Read More »Bored At work

There was a restaurant about 20 minutes from the Tree cutting place.  We weren’t the only ones to stop! Notice, how there is NO snow.  This winter it has hardly snowed!
