TGIF

When I worked, I loved Friday's.  We had casual Friday's, RB supplied donuts in the morning and we always went out for lunch.  The only thing I miss about work is the fantastic people I worked with and the espresso machine.  I bought an espresso machine and follow most of my ex co-workers on Facebook.
