We are a couple days away from Valentine’s Day. Since it’s on a weekday there will be a steady stream of florist vans pulling up to workplaces all across the nation. Of course everyone looks to see who’s getting the largest bouquet. And I can already tell you it won’t be me. But I’m not sad about that. My husband… Read more »

I once had a supervisor put on my formal yearly review that I should never hand write anything because no one can read it.
