Quick Bits

GOOD SIGN: While wandering the aisles of a Michael's store on Sunday, I spied this sign. I like its retro-'70s look, and the message is on point. 

A TASTE OF SWEDEN: Fun SnackCrate shipments continue to arrive monthly for CJ. This month's selection is from Sweden. It's fun to check out the new-to-us foods, and the literature in the box is educational.

I'm not sure I believe everything I read, though. I find it hard to believe that Sweden imports garbage from Norway. I'm going to have to Google that. ... 

INTERVIEWING: It has been an interesting few days around here. CJ and Annabelle have been applying for summer jobs, and have taken part in some interviews this week.

CJ had a rather unforgettable one on Sunday morning at a local store that shall remain nameless. During the interview, the manager referred to one of his coworkers as "the bitch," and started slagging on the Seattle City Council.

Unbelievable. 

I certainly hope they don't offer CJ a job there. I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption that it's not a very healthy workplace there.

FINISH LINE: As I type this, CJ is taking his final final for South Seattle College. On Friday, he'll be attending graduation (for his associate degree). Following is a congratulatory message from the president of South Seattle College to the class of 2021.
