Hey Everyone!
After an uber-tiring hellish week at work (yeah, I know I sound like a broken record, but for the past 4 weeks it seems those are the kind of days/weeks I’m having at the office) this weekend instead of sleeping the day away and chilling we had our office retreat.

But enough complaining, let me tell you who were the winners this week.
This week congratulations are in order to
the lucky winners of a paperback copy of …
