Day 195: July 14, 2015
Diary entry:
Things are starting to pick up much faster now on the new, second project that is formally getting started now, and has to go live even before the other one I’ve been working on for the past year. Meetings in full force in coming up with an action plan. Pretty fun, though stressful at times.
And of course, people preparing for holiday. Something tells me I’m going to have a busy month ahead.
The Beer:
