The world sends me a wake up call February 4, 2010

Yesterday it seemed like the world sent me a wake up call. As I mentioned in the post below there’s been a bit of whining about work this week. It was all trivial, self-indulgent whining. Poor me, I’m so busy, this job is boring, I hate answering the phone, I’m sick of marking these testings […]
