Some people just shouldn’t work anywhere else… 0

I ask of you, how hard is it to put two (2) breakfast sandwiches into one (1) bag? Really, how difficult a task is that? I ran out this morning to grab Mandy and I some grub (I am at the office today; since we leave for Vegas at 5:30 PM it made sense for [...]

As Nature Intended What?!? 0
