Trying to remember this little snippet of wisdom as it looks like it may be a while yet before my job returns to any semblance of "normal." It's been so easy to get caught up in comparing my digital programming to what other people are doing (including sometimes, my own coworkers).

I still worked from home some, but I think I'm pretty much ready to transition to fully back in the building. It's been very difficult to split … Continue reading Weekly Nibble: May 22, 2020
