Tensions often run high here, very high, almost, dangerously high. In fact, under many of an occasion have staff members threatened to throw themselves out the Deck Department (nee Art Department) window into the rapacious throngs of Chick-Fil-A patrons who sit in their cars bellowing out toxic fumes into the environment as they wait for hours in the new Sunset and Highland drive-through to get their share of what we can only imagine is laboratory-made chicken slathered in partially hydrogenated oils. Since the opening of that tasteless institution, we've had to keep our windows shut.

No one can hear the screams now.

Things were said, emotions were hurt, innocent people were left behind…frantically, someone lit this Molton Brown Relaxing Yuan Zhi candle, and immediately, tempers subdued themselves, flames extinguished, blood turned to tears, of forgiveness. Being enveloped in those scents of calming ylang yang, bergamot, orris, cedarwood, ginger, and amber musks, we are as relaxed, mellow, and free loving as ever now. We run down the halls now, tickling one another, cracking jokes, patting backs, just…laughing.

Oh this life! We will need more candles for next deadline.
