Feature: ERIN MONA.

IF YOU COULD INTERVENE DURING ANY HISTORIC EVENT, CHANGING HISTORY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? There are certainly serious events I considered but I wasn't sure where to start. So for a light-hearted response, I would hop back to 46 BCE (?) to alter the birth of the modern calendar so as to incorporate more weekend days.
WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS? I have to borrow the words of Michael Scott from The Office: "I work too hard, I care too much, and sometimes I can be too invested in my job."
WINDOW OR AISLE SEAT? I've always been a window seat gal. I love to look outside and use the side to rest my head for naps.
WHAT'S YOUR PET PEEVE? I'm not a big fan of people playing on their phones when the traffic light turns green. Just go already!

Recently, however, she sold something to someone local (not through the app) so she had to address the package herself. This presented a bit of a challenge as she came out of her room quizzically asking, β€œHow do I print the UPS label for this? Like, where do I get the label from?”
