Dream Job
Here's a little bit of inspiration for those of you who find themselves in a daily grind - it's an article from the Globe and Mail, and was sent to me by a friend (thanks for this one too Naj).

Family, friends, the impact I have (however little) on the world - the way I will be remembered - that's the end. It's quite intangible.

The delivery however -- now that was something else. The delivery was sick, sick, sick. This is an in-joke for comedians that have been numbed by jokes for us regular folk. The only thi...
