So am I ignoring my values by earning a paycheck from them? I prefer to see it as a marriage of convenience.:)<BR/>They get a good worker and I get training and free products and the ability to connect with others in my field (oh, and there's that decent pay thing too).Ren Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017460071971677808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-1161018570004547752006-10-16T13:09:00.000-04:002006-10-16T13:09:00.000-04:00Hey, Sandra has a couple of pictures from a McDona...Hey, Sandra has a couple of pictures from a McDonalds in New Mexico with green tile and Bueno Green Chile on offer. Also, on the radio last night there was mention of a Chicago McDonalds that has a regular Gospel night. <BR/><BR/>I guess even with clean sterility comes individuality.<BR/><BR/>SchuylerSchuylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801734082790893216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-1160951407603460532006-10-15T18:30:00.000-04:002006-10-15T18:30:00.000-04:00The artwork isn't mine..I swiped it from the AC we...The artwork isn't mine..I swiped it from the AC website actually!:) I think it's pastels though. <BR/><BR/>I also like some familiarity when in a strange city. When you're traveling it's nice to know what to expect in a coffee cup.:) That's what keeps me supporting these places, occasionally. But I still moan about the loss of diversity we suffer for it.Ren Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017460071971677808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34836258.post-1160947508271534512006-10-15T17:25:00.000-04:002006-10-15T17:25:00.000-04:00Oooh, I love the sketch--it's pastels, right?
