Monday morning, and I’m back in Toronto attending a class on how to make presentations. They’re videotaping us so we can see just how excruciating our personal mannerisms are.

Mixed feelings; I’m looking forward to getting home, but (as I’ve mentioned before) this was a great project. Thanks to the great people I worked with!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
