Yesterday I was all consumed. I was distracted by life. A walked over ten miles. I shopped. I packed up up a large portion of my apartment. I ate. And was merry. As a result of so many distractions, I forgot to write. My huge writing streak came […]
OH MY! Ok, I will stop with the All-Caps. That is quite annoying. Isn’t it beyond irritating when a colleague sends an email with All-Caps? Makes you wonder if they are trying to make a point or just didn’t bother proofreading their communication. I don’t think many people […]
