Despite the fact that very scary things have been going on at work, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that, in less than a week, I’m going to be taking advantage of a new benefit for long-time employees — a four-week paid sabbatical leave. Why am I keeping my fingers crossed? Well, it seems that yet [...]

I’ve updated the sidebar to use Google to search IDblog rather than WordPress, since the latter doesn’t know anything about the old TypePad entries.
