One mate was told yesterday by the caretaker of his building that he needs to be more careful.

All while my mate was having a normal night’s sleep.

Another friend was walking back from the Fall Out Boy concert and she and her friend had five guns suddenly pointed against their heads. Two handbags were stolen by the time this violent act was concluded.

Work emails are showing that people within the development world continue to be plagued by politics. Why are you doing this? Why were we not consulted? Now that we have reviewed your project, we recommend you overhaul the entire thing to suit our way. Can we just hold up implementation for one more meeting, so that we can expend money on making our voice heard. Egos continue to abound and to push away the issues that are assumed to be at the core of our salaries.

I drank too much coffee this morning. And it tasted great.
