I’ve been introduced to a lot of new “British” foods since working in an office. I’ll be honestly they are all snacks and junk food but it’s interesting because if it’s just me and Jon alone we would never try any of these. This is an iced finger bun. It’s a roll with icing on …

My first week of work has been great. It’s been all classroom training which is semi-boring but very helpful at the same time. There are 11 new hires in total for my department since it is a new department for the UK office of the company. They even gave us our own laptops with these …

Daily Deals are still going strong. I’ve had great experiences and horrible experiences but the good outweigh the bad so I still look through them daily. I’ve noticed a trend of expensive, crazy deals going on now. Surgery is the craziest. I don’t want a deal on that, I want an experienced, highly recommended doctor …
