Crazy Coworkers
Yesterday I drove to CT for our annual departmental luncheon. I went both because I felt obligated and because I think that telecommuters need to spend time with their coworkers once in a while. The sad thing is, half of … Continue reading

I hate making mistakes and I find it hard to forgive myself for making them. That’s bad. First, it makes me feel like crap. Second, I believe a person’s character is revealed in the way that they deal with their … Continue reading
