But it meant some of my staff weren't very comfortable this week. <br /><br />I've been grateful for the rest of the week, some quieter time, and some time to get things back to a peaceful state, inside me and inside my apartment!

I either did or didn't do it Friday, and the effect showed up today. I did get things as sorted as I could outside of office hours. And I know that pride about wanting to be seen to get it right is part of what's under my skin about it. Thanks for posting this today.MorningStarhttp://www.morningstar1955.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
