One drawback about working for the world’s most amazing tech company is realizing just how crappy most other products are by comparison.
Angela got me (read: herself) a GPS, and it’s taken me 30 mins. just to figure out how to set the home location. That’s WITH instructions!

Yay. Well, at least they can’t take away Christmas. (No, wait…someone else already did that a couple of weeks ago.)

Yay. Woke up with no voice today. That should make my job interesting tomorrow….
