A Dear One

Technology is Evil

We use it some much to make things easier, faster, more advanced, more interesting, but then something happens…we depend on it. We come to expect it to be there and when something goes awry, we are lost. Our saftey net of process and functionality is ripped from beneath us and we dangle by a thread.…

Delegating

Today I passed off a task that I normally do to one of our vendors. It’s a task I hate, but has so many nuances that I thought I would always have to do it myself. Luckily, we work with some pretty awesome people. So since this vendor happened to be in the office today…

Sickie

I do hate being sick. The worst part is when your mind fogs up and you can’t think clearly. I did make it a whole year (technically 14 months) without being sick though, so that is something to celebrate. Here are my tips for getting over an illness as quickly as possible and trying to…
