Our union agreement was three years out of date which is pathetic, but it's another entire story. It was recently signed and we are getting our retro payments in little bits. I will use the large ones for good and the small one for fun. The kids have to earn their part of it by cleaning the garbage dumps formerly known as their rooms, but it's my bonus so I get mine now. Totally a double standard. I ordered sexy, lightfast, swiss-made, melt on your paper, soft wax, professional quality, best in the world, did I say sexy, coloured pencils. Omg they came in a metal tin with each pencil secured in foam. I don't even need the pencil wrapper I bought for them. I love them. They are my babies. There is only one pick which I find offensive, so I will have to order a few singles. I am offended, but I'm sure that they will make it up to me. Oh...and they glue and secure the lead all the way down the pencil so it won't ever split, or break or do any of that shit that my prismacolours do.
Anyways, this is starting to get weird.
