Captain has abandoned the ship! Of course I’m not serious. She’s on a well deserved break and we can’t wait till she’s back! But Captain not being in the office is like having a triple-chocolate mousse cake in front of you and not having a fork to enjoy it. Captain, you are our fork. Good [...]

Man Outnumbered: My Diva Betsy

This week has been all about annoying Sticker. Honestly it hasn’t been Sticker’s week. She’s been the teasing target by F2, Captain and yours truly. Having such an innocent-turned-devilish personality, you can never be sure of Sticker. It’s like a little bird tweeting so beautifully then all of a sudden, she’s a deadly vulture. Some [...]
