Job Marathon – Day Four

By | October 20, 2005

This is the home stretch. I have two full days with Statusfirm, and tonight I can sleep in! Not sure how much sleep I will get as I have to be back here for 8AM again tomorrow, but if I get to bed early enough I should be able to pull 8-9 hours of sleep.… Read More »
