  • Catching Up With My VK Training

    Today was interesting, to say the least. Work has been a struggle, as we’re moving into a new building which is apparently an owners’ wet dream, but downgrading the employees even more than in the current building, if that’s at all possible. I won’t go into details, but right now we’re sitting elbow to elbow…

  • Can You Use Stryd in the Snow? Check this out …
