Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Last Wednesday, I shared the story of a bully meeting his match. A story of how my supporting Audit Manager called Mr., X’s insecure bluff and scared him into accepting my apology. The story doesn’t end there. Following that brief meeting, our investigative work continued, and many system flaws and weaknesses were uncovered. So many... Continue Reading →
This is a hard post to figure out. First, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I was only in Chicago for 24 hours. More than enough time to snap some door pics, have a few beers, two nice meals and walk my butt off while freezing my butt off, but not long enough to... Continue Reading →
