This is another reason that I love working from home. I’m not limited to sandwich shops within walking distance of my overly air-conditioned office building. I get to pick what I eat, when I eat, and where I eat, and I am solely […]

One of my biggest clients has been strangely silent lately, and my bank account has been wondering what’s going on. So, after some deliberation, I decided to send a quick note their way and let them know that they’re welcome to take full advantage of my capacity.
