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.
Taxi-driving isn't usually too bad, but today has had him cranky and all too ready to go home. Too bad those random people running in the streets won't let him!
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.
Good thing his friends are supportive, too! After all, when one does so much for others, they tend to remember and return the favor.
(Part 2 of 2)
It's your friend's birthday? Great! You can't remember who it is? ... Slightly less great.
That's okay, though, because Tian has a plan. None of his friends are going to feel unappreciated on his watch.
Now... where did he stash those acorns, again?
