The majority of weeks I don’t mind work, but some days the trip alone is sufficient to drive me to resign. Too many lousy people driving and hardly any concentration to the road. Adding insult to injury, what happens next? I tipped my Starbucks on the last corner in to the parking stall... Grrrr.

I often day dream of having our condo do fancy tasks such as following me with music through the house or checking our grocery list for items we’re missing. Some of this stuff is most realistically a couple years from now (although some average people are in the process of it) nevertheless some more pragmatic goals like music at the touch of a button are ubiquitous and reasonably priced lately. Now it’s just up to me to persuade the lady writing the cheques- then she can focus her energy on the page where I found the information: ISY-99i review
