Changes

Are coming! Yours truly is about to have a week off ! In a week! For a variety of personal reasons I am leaving my current job at the end of the week, and then after a week off, I am starting a new one!

For me, that’ll be a second job change in less than 2 years, after a decade at one place. But changes are needed.

I hope to bring some new reviews during my time off so please keep checking in!
