Describe a typical day for you at work. You can go total Peter Gibbons on this one. Let’s see, and considering I woke up early this morning with one after one of my huh, issues. I try to show up right around 7:00. This floats a bit sometimes, because it’s never a sure thing how … Continue reading “NoJoMo 6”
