Washed and blow dried my hair this morning and promptly got crapped on by a pigeon on the way to work. Just a little Monday morning reminder that some days youâre the bird and some days youâre the statue.

Itâs so weird that a recruiter reaches out to someone, asks to speak to them, arranges a time and then doesnât show up. How have we reached this level of contempt for peopleâs time and emotional energy?

I wrote a book! The timing is... weird, to say the least. But it's here, it's real, and it's available for purchase at your favorite online bookseller. Buy a copy. Buy several. I won't judge. Note: I was fully unprepared for how weird it was to hold my own book in my hands.
