As I write, we are nine months in to our self quarantine, fires continue to destroy our state and our elections are in full swing. Wow, what an interesting series of events.

I am a firm believer that as companies, we will emerge stronger with a new knowledge of how to be productive while working in the chaos we call home.

Without the daily banter, Work is just Work!
