psst...I won the Brownie Bake-off!

nice way to spend the morning! You seem to have great morning routines

better than my routine of, "Crap, woke up late..." *hurry hurry hurry*

SB -- i knew you would,,, RF has the paper gotten there yet?

SB that's wicked! Congrats. Will you post your recipe?

MH the paper arrived really late. They're so short staffed. I'm thinking of canceling my subscription and saving the forest.

more convenient to read online these days anyway

so true

paperboys are in short supply?

yep. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... there is a major labour shortage because of the population growth and oil boom.

it's affecting many businesses. The cooling economy might help to ease our overly hot economy.

oh yeah. I heard working at the 7-11 was paying really well because of that.

$13 - 15/ hour to start at the 7-11. Crazy.

that's more than the Edmonton-based web firm I worked for paid me and I have tons of experience & degrees and stuff.

of course, I was underpaid, but that's a separate issue. It doesn't change the fact that my dumb brother could work at 7-11 and make

(for the type of skills involved) obscene amounts of money.

I know. It's ridiculous.
