I’m really nervous about tomorrow, I don’t feel prepared at all! I haven’t finished figuring out what I’m going to say yet. Been working today and have had commission work to do this evening but finally I have some time […]
Having to ‘report’ at the end of the day is proving useful. Not that I wasn’t focused on doing my work – that is the main focus of everyday, even when I know that it is just not going to […]
