And now COVID is resurgent again… Anyways, some plans for meeting close friends and family, and starting the new year on a high note. By working …
Top 10 books, top 10 movies, top 10 sayings, to 10 learnings.. A lot of top 10s float around on the web, in the dying weeks of the year. I used to compile my own, but nowadays I don’t have the time. I kind of like the books and movies lists, since you end up …

Today we had the year end team meeting. Reminiscing on the year gone by, and plans for the year ahead. Not just me, but all the members of our team spoke about their 2022 and their plans for 2023. Many of them had a fresh lease of career life when they joined us this year, …
