Mirmmade Tales…..to be continued?
Well, I have kept this blog barely alive for a year and now I am trying to decide if I am going to keep it going or not. I don’t think it will matter much since not many people follow it (except I get a ridiculous amount of spam), and I am processing several other…
A New Boss
So today my former boss actually handed over the responsibilities of managing our team to the new boss. For those that have followed my work saga over the last year, it is no surprise that I have been looking forward to this possibility and this day for most of the last year. My former boss…
