I easily don’t care about the fact that I’m so busy that I can’t seem to make any headway. For a single, I’m forever inside the zone controlled Heating & A/C of the offices these mornings. There seems to be a single crisis after another & we’re still not back to our pre-pandemic staffing levels. […]
