Continuing with my Cirque musings, I was thinking after writing last night’s post about how I used to want to work at the Cirque du Soleil headquarters in Montreal, Quebec. I’ve applied online a few times over the years, but the biggest issue for …

On my way to work this morning, I dusted off some Cirque du Soleil tunes. It’s been forever and a day since I listened to them; their return was way beyond overdue. Has anyone seen “O”? I find the entire performance, including the music, to be not…

I might’ve mentioned this before, but I’m consistently amazed that on the days when I wake up early, I end up running about 10 minutes late in getting to the office. And on days when I wake up late, I get to work on time, if not a few minutes earl…

It takes me just under one hour to get to work. And when I get there, our agency occupies two of the three floors in the building. I work on three. If I took a lunch hour, my work day would be divided into two four-hour chunks. But I rarely do thi…

Ah, always a good time when you’re nearly done with the blog post for the day, only to accidentally close the window you’re typing in when you meant to instead close another. My bad. Here goes again. Long story short, the last thing a girl wants t…
