I get to go be with grown ups once in a while.

I also work for a corporate/non profit even planner. It's tedious work most of the time, but working the events is fun. I can't afford the $200+ tickets so that's the only way I get to attend.

That is part of what the company I work for does... I started here with a dual-roll of doing all the employment and education verifications in-house, as well as the IT stuff... Then the IT stuff gradually took over, and we hired someone else to do the employment and education stuff in-house...

I've become addicted to two things lately: chapstick and flossing. Peculiar...

Good afternoon!

I've been lucky to evade any sore throat colds so far. (By lucky, I mean I've been taking Airborne at least once a day and took Nyquil and used a Zycam swab when I felt my throat getting sore.)

Yuck, I hate going to the doctor's office. I hope you feel better soon!

Yeah, I think it works pretty well. I've never tried the orange flavor but lemon-lime is borderline vile. The new pink grapefruit flavor is moderately tasty!

Good afternoon!

I am addicted to Carmex and have been for years. I floss all the time.....especially in the car. Is that weird?
