George loves his job. He loves his job. He loves his job. 

He tells that to himself when the urge to bang his head against the dashboard of his car resurfaces.

Yikes, birds can sure be pushy. 

Tian is stressed, muddy, and at his wit's end. Perhaps this birthday thing wasn't such a great idea after all.
