http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2011/09/two-becomes-three.html

I mentioned being offered a job at a university downtown and needing to decide which of my current part-time jobs to ditch. I decided to keep. Three jobs are a lot to take on at once but I think it's doable. I had to give up Thursdays. And will be working EVERY day from now on once I officially start the college job this week. It sounds like a lot, but ...

Exploding Doughnut: Vacuuming on Valentine's Day.

http://www.explodingdoughnut.com/2015/02/vacuuming-on-valentines-day.html

Escaping dead-end jobs.creating a life in art - by Dean Grey. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Vacuuming on Valentine's Day. I asked several of my coworkers what their plans were for Valentine's Day.

Even though Valentine's Day can be hard for those of us who are single, I'm still very happy for the people who do. Have someone to love and be in love with.

I discovered it at work while finalizing this morning's bank deposit for the crafts store. I felt compelled to take it and swapped one of my own quarters for the sun-colored one. The way the letters and profile are (for the most part) visible with only the background painted. It almost looks like it was created that way. Im so...
