In Brief
(Details at Eleven)
Mel is now an officially landed immigrant of Canada. And to celebrate, the first words to come out of her mouth upon landing were an impressive string of vulgarities that left me quite shocked and amazed. Ah, customs officials: could you people be any crankier if you tried? (On the other hand, ah, immigration officials: could you people have been any nicer?)
And I managed to survive my first day as manager without the store burning down or me curling up in a little ball, rocking in a corner and sucking my thumb. I'm almost disappointed. Maybe today. You never know.
Today's Lesson: cats may make for good alarm clocks, but I'd still rather have an alarm to turn off rather than a cat letting his fully body weight land on my liver.
