There's no such thing as bad publicity, except your own obituary...

Ottawa ---- Brianna Justine Hurley's creativity died today at the young age of 22, from repeated exposure over a four month period to an environment with high levels of apathy and general disregard for progress.
Ms. Hurley leaves behind her co-workers: Rebecca Keen, Nathanial Thorpe, Benjamin Lee, Katarina Lee, Stefan de Savigny, Riley Jones and Brynne Jones.

From a young age, Ms. Hurley showed interest in the arts. She loved public speaking, reading and writing poetry. As she grew older, these talents proved useful in elementary school and secondary school and then afterward at university. Ms. Hurley graduated with a Bachelor of Humanities in 2010 from Carleton University. Afterward she continued to work at the consignment boutique HUSH where she had been working part-time since 2008. There she learned the creative arts of styling, marketing, and event planning. It also fostered within her a love of blogging.
At the beginning of this year, in what proved to be a fatal decision, Ms. Hurley decided to work for the government so that she could save some money. In these last few months of her life, she spent her time in a cramped cubicle surrounded by a labyrinth of sameness. Everyday she went to work she was greeted with monotony and pain, resulting in a two month period of visits to the physiotherapist to treat her Medial and Lateral Epicondylitis. It was not, however, this that ultimately took her life. Sadly, Ms. Hurley's creativity was first stunted and later gone entirely from a complete lack of opportunity for growth in her working environment, which resulted in decreased motivation. Close friends recall that in her last days this even became noticeable outwardly in her indifference to showering and cooking healthy meals. She became increasingly aloof to her previous interests and even blogging became a chore.
A funeral service will take place this Monday at 3:30pm on the first floor of the Jean Talon Building. Her ashes will be kept in an earn above the clock in her area, to serve as a reminder and caution to others so they don't meet a similar fate.
Donations can be made in her name to The Brianna Hurley 'Let the Little People Eat Census Day Breakfast' Memorial Fund.
