And now we're done, why? Because of hate from of other companies that, up until now, we've always supported. The last straw being one of our newest members received some nasty hate mail by

M-F
I work at a dental practice as the back office from 8a-5p
I work with a dance company from 7p-10p
Sa-Su
I work for the dance company anywhere from 4-8 hours a weekend
That doesn't leave much time for other pursuits. Though I have been diving more in to photography to help scratch that itch. I've also purchased and started carrying around a small sketch journal with me for when I can't reach a shutter, though it feels like my talents has lax a lot since my
