bed and boom

For everydaymatters drawing challenge #5 & #6:

That's Boom, my perennially asleep bear. He was given to me for my birthday by my favorite kid reporter whom I worked with in 5 and Up [a children's show]. He was only 12 then. And now, Boom is turning 10 years old. And my little boy is now 22. *Sniff*

when we were coffee bandits [EM theme #4]

Everydaymatters #4 drawing theme: favorite coffee cup

I used to work as a producer for a children's show and we held office in this homey-comfy house-turned-production-office.

The environment was friendly and creative and to this day, I can say that the best time of my life was spent working there. We used to be coffee bandits, the whole lot of us -- sneaking into each other's stash of coffee packets, leaving notes like "The coffee bandit strikes again!" It's a kind of sanctioned thievery, done to provide amusement as much as get some free coffee. Even coffee-maker filters were not safe. But, it's all in good fun. We really share our private stash with each other, haha.

Then, there are those who try to use other people's mugs because they get too lazy to wash their own. There's a whole rack of mugs lining the kitchen wall, all one needs to do is reach out for a clean one and voila! A fresh cup is ready to be made.

One co-worker tried it with MY cup and got busted within seconds of entering the office. The Martian kinda calls attention to itself =P
