Day 106: April 16, 2015
Diary entry:
What a day. This one went non-stop from 7AM until well after 9PM. Between meetings back and forth between the offices, emergency sessions for everyone else who have their deadlines tomorrow, a quick dinner with a colleague to discuss some topics about our project, and then the #PassionPassport Twitter chat, this was a long one!
But productive!
