Here's me
Around this time of year (around two weeks ago, actually) I usually write a year-in-review post. It helps me see patterns when I go back looking at who I've been.

I am feeling lonely and unloved. Largely because I've been alone most of the day in the office I just can't seem to leave.
Is anybody wandering by my little corner of the internet this afternoon? Talk to me, please. -
