I’m better at Wedding Anniversaries

Be careful what you ask for.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m spending my days post-graduation but pre-real-job working as a help desk technician for the school, which means that I occasionally have to interact with students. Generally I am actually quite a nice person, but today … Continue reading
