So this week has not been one of my better weeks. It’s not anything specific that happened… just a bunch of little things. For example, we download all our pictures for the ads from this one website. They redesigned the website and now it ONLY works on Internet Explorer!! That’s great for all you PCs out there, but some of us use MACS! Sheesh it makes my blood boil.

Last night I called Tree. Now while that might not seem unusual, let me describe the situation: I am in Atlanta. Tree is in the Dominican Republic.
