My Garmin tells me I'm really stressed at the moment. I didn't need a Garmin to know that. On Thursday, my entire working day is meetings, continuously, from 9 am to 5 pm. I guess maybe my secretary might take pity on me and bring me some food. Or maybe some meetings will get cancelled.... Continue Reading →
