Hi everyone. New site, new beginnings, new opportunities, new VISAS!! Thats the way to go.

Yu know the problem with November born people? They like very long celebrations. My coworker celebrated hers on the 5th and the workers put up a banner wishing her happy birthday. It is still on the wall. I will see how long she keeps it there.

Anyway, Screwface, happy belated birthday.
