At the gym, there are exercises I do on a machine with this design on it:

It is the logo of Freemotion Fitness, manufacturer of modern torture devices, and I know it's suppossed to be a jaunty "M," but to me, it looks like the Loch Ness Monster as depicted in the following authentic and unretouched photographs.

So I find myself thinking of Nessie a great deal, and of the time my husband and I spent the whole day on a train getting from Edinburgh to Inverness, which is only a few miles away from Loch Ness, only to eat a few sad pancakes and head right back to Edinburgh. I’m sure, to the Loch Ness Monster, it was like finding out your relatives are in town and did not call. Either that, or she was all, “Dodged THAT bullet!”

Other than that, there is not much to report. I have been working someone else’s shifts, on top of doing my own work, because I cruelly and mercilessly gave him a month’s pay and a good reference not to be my employee anymore. Wait until you see what I do to someone I really have it in for.
