Let’s take a step back from these self-acclaimed accolades for a moment, shall we? Yes, I am VERY proud of myself and all that I’ve accomplished, these last two months. I can safely say that I’ve worked harder and more diligently in this position than I have ever before. Not that I …
Where have I been, you ask? I’ll tell you. ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE. Between a new job, getting and adapting to my first pair of “progressive” lens eyewear, and plotting to, and ultimately catching a raccoon, I’ve been a wee bit tied up. I’m immersed in my new job …
