Work is pretty insane lately. On top of our usual workload, which is rather heavy this time of year, we are working on the new web site. Juggling that, the annual report and all of the other projects will be very difficult. But I guess that's why my salary is much higher than the last job. It has been rather nice being treated with such respect at ( Read more... )
