10 on the 10th: All About Life-Long Learning
Hey, y’all, hey! How’re things in your neck the woods? Yesterday was our official return to work day after the summer break {I’m a 12-month employee, so no summer break for me} and it was good to see a bunch of familiar faces. We couldn’t have our normal convocation because COVID, so we had a…
Happy #FistBumpFriday
HAPPY #FISTBUMPFRIDAY Everyone who doesn’t have a pandemic puppy raise your hand. *keeps hand down* Yep, we adopted a dog last week and her name is Lola. Now that I’m back at work on a regular basis, I thought Bleu would like some company during the day. Bleu is all crickets chirping. I mean,…
