The Alarmed Office

This sign is on the door to the office I work at:Every time I see it, I wonder what’s happened to make our office so nervous. LOL I think that we should put a photo of Edward Munch’s The Scream on the door instead. Or at least an emoji version:Or, for days that aren’t as alarming, […]

I alway smile when I spot the decorated trees, as it’s a sure sign the holidays are here. The below photos are of the same tree from this year […]
