I am currently part of a Unit of 12 under one manager, divided into three teams (by job description and pay grade)&#8211; my team of two, [...]]]></description>

Last year I took a couple of big metal canisters full of green tea to work (Sencha and Lung Ching).  I think I was averaging 2-3 cups per workday most of the winter.  My only quandary [...]]]></description>

Also, Michael has done the lion&#8217;s share of yard work (over a few weeks) to ensure that most of those pesky leaves are on their way to wherever the brush and yard waste taxi may take them.  Hopefully they get mulched and [...]]]></description>

Anar is Czech musician Marketa Irglova&#8217;s new album (the title means &#8220;Pomegranate&#8221; in Persian).  If you think you&#8217;ve heard Irglova&#8217;s name before, you may well remember her from the film Once, which received a whole bunch of acclaim in 2007.  Glen Hansard of The Frames and Marketa Irglova starred in [...]]]></description>
