So my animal-loving coworker gave me a calendar at the beginning of this year. I'm not sure a wall calendar is very usefully to me, especially perched over my desk because I can't ever reach it to turn the page to a new month. So I'm usually about two months behind until someone takes pity on me and flips it. Being two months off bothers my coworkers more than me. No, what bothers ME is this calendar from the IFAW Animal Sanctuary Campaign. It's bringing me down. Every new month has an adorable animal and mini-lecture on it. "Spay and neuter your dogs!" and "Outlaw the rampant trade of exotic animal!" I feel like I'm personally responsible for the suffering of birds, primates, and infant wildlife! I hate it. It's not that I disagree. I don't hate the animals. I just don't want to be reminded of it every time I glance at the wall. Where's Dilbert when you need him?

I think the new look is just more pictures of Kate on the front.

Come on Allie, you know you dumped all that oil in the pacific a few years back.

I get behind on my wall calendar too, but I really have no excuse.

My parents are absolutely hardcore environmentalists. I don't mind, because I acknowledge that our great country was founded on freedom of speech, conscience, association and all that good stuff. And they are exercising those rights. However, where environmentalism collides with traditional American freedoms, I side with freedom.

I'm bad with flipping wall calendars, too. Mine is behind my TV set, and with my disability, it is also a bit hard to get to. Plus I am forgetful. Luckily mine has an NYC architecture theme, which is more up my alley. But, thanks to mummy, I have one raccoon fridge magnet and two ocean fridge magnets. Makes me feel like I give off a radical enviro vibe, when that's not what I'm all about.
