That would definitely not be a go -we cure our own in store (and it smells fucking wonderful -which is mean at 6am when I'm ready for second breakfast but too busy to stop &/or only have a granola bar....). It is mandatory to like bacon, even if you're Vegan. Which is OK too.

"Happiness is a choice" is a sentiment that takes drastically different connotations based on who is telling it to you.

I wonder if there are any workplaces out there that actually print out and post internet demotivational posters... I'd like to do that one day.
