Spring has Sprung!

Today it was so warm out that I didn’t need to wear my jacket as I walked to my car this morning. Hooray! I feel that Illinois has finally come to its senses and decided to give us a bit of the warmth that the rest of the nation has been reveling in.
Spring in Illinois usually brings storms of one kind or another, which I am more than prepared for. The benefit of living in northern Illinois is that you get the violent storms of Tornado Alley, but without the F4 and F5 tornadoes. I’ve always loved storms, and now I get to live in an area famous for them. This very morning, at five o’clock, I woke to booming thunder and lightning illuminating the whole cloud-layered sky. Ahh Spring!

Work Woes

You'd think that a company pulling in billions of dollars each year would at least have a token class on sexual harassment...

You'd think that men with college educations and few years of experience under their belts would take a hint...

You'd think that married men who are devoted to their wives and children would not even think of asking girls out...

But no.

I thought the professional world was more civilized than this.
