Back to Work – Need Motivation!?
So I’m off to work today. This is my second official full time week in 18 months… I didn’t have a baby or an injury or have a planned hiatus. My former employers were closing their offices and I decided to just retire for a while, built some websites, do some consulting and worked out…
