home

Back in the US of A. I have plenty of pics, but am drowning in work. That stupid bitch (at work) that has caused me so much grief has done even more damage while I was gone. I didn't think it was possible. People were taking bets as to how long she would last if she walked in the office before I headbutt her. Details later. Ciao!

Sunshine, how I missed thee.

spent

Jerk chicken 45 minutes late.

European sausage 30 minutes late.

$50 short on the empanadas.

However... I managed to coordinate almost 200 volunteers and round up raffle prizes upward of $3,000 and made around $500 on raffles tickets. I'm proud of myself. It was a LOT of work.

Now just as soon as we wrap everything up, I want to go to bed.
