So once again it’s 1am and I’m up doing client work because I’m too much of a nice guy to say no. It’s going to be billable of course, but I really have to learn to say “no, my evening is valuable, we can do this when I have time.” sigh However, I did find […]

An odd thing happened coming home from work yesterday. Out of nowhere about 5 minutes from work my car suddenly died. Just turned off. I coasted to the side of the side street I was on and thought “that was odd”, then started back up and kept on going. About 5 minutes down the road
