back. Yes, officially his retirement starts on June 16, his birthday. But he is using up his vacation days now, he has handed in all work-related devices and now he has had his farewell dinner... so yeah, it is done!
2:11 am
sprite
lol... the last half year, he had a very very frustrating superior who didn''t know her ass from her face and he got so worked up about it. And I kept repeating: NOT your monkey, NOT your circus. As a mantra. Yesterday, one of his colleagues gave him a monkey doll that makes music, and when you hit it on the head, it screams at you. Rob laughed so hard!
2:30 am
grannyrose

i begged my parents to buy a piano so i could learn. they said if we buy it you have to promise to stick with it for 2 years. i was sick of it after 2 weeks. they made me keep going for the whole 2 years. i think they thought i would change my mind, but i didn't. when i quit my mom said, "you'll regret not being able to play when you're an adult". and i said, "no i won't, i'll just remember how much i hated practicing."
