Life Update 5/11/2019

I'm back. Clearly, I've taken a long hiatus from this blog. I truly did mean to continue to post. But as always, life has other plans. And we have to roll with the punches.

In just this short amount of time, I know this is the right path for me.

I'm just hoping to continue to learn as much as I can about this job. And hopefully, I'll be able to help some people along the way.

Let's be honest, we aren't going to introduce one friend to another friend if they're a shitty friend. We aren't going to boast about our co-worker to someone if they're a shitty co-worker. Let's go even a step further and say, we aren't going to introduce our single friends to another potential single friend, if they're shitty at relationships. Now, I'm not saying that we should fabricate who we are. I'm not saying that at all. But, we live in a technologically savvy society where everyone can see what we...
