It was not a nice day. The first few hints of spring had come over the city in the form of slightly above-freezing temperatures. With nearly a meter of snow on the ground, massive piles of slush began to form throughout the city.
The girl ran out of her house, slamming the door behind her. Running down the sidewalk, she glanced down at the pavement and scowled at the grey, salty slush covering...

The union is MUNACA: the lowest-paid workers at McGill, whose jobs range from lab technicians to secretaries to library staff to general support workers.

“Ok, so...

Maybe one day I will open up an aquarium called Thalassic Park. It would be just like any other conservation research aquarium, except if you’re found abusing or annoying an animal you get thrown into the shark tank.
