I’ve had a pretty busy week – Actually it’s been a fantastic week.
I can only think of two “negative” things: First, I banged my leg into a table Tuesday evening –pretty hard—it took me 2 minutes of cursing before I could move again—and it hurt enough to noticeably bother me through Friday. It’s still […]
While I could have taken vacation days and had this week off, I made a strategic decision to save my vacation days for 2011 when there’s better weather and my urge to escape the office reaches a feverish peak.
