Happy Sunday, everybody!
This is a pre-scheduled post from Friday, so I hope nothing has happened during the weekend that could make it inappropriate.
While you are reading I am probably somewhere out there trying to catch up with this summer I almost missed altogether.
We are having an incredibly boring down time in my workplace recently (usual August in the public sector I guess), I am constantly joking that if I did not have all these writing and learning to do, I would probably have started looking for a new job already.
