It&#8217;s kind of obscene how much I&#8217;m working lately.

I have to send out the daily assignments early in the morning but beyond that I really really try not to have my head buried in the laptop while he&#8217;s playing and could use some company and someone to teach him how to, uh, walk and talk and stuff.

And make stuff. And play with my baby more. Shit, he&#8217;s not even a baby anymore. He&#8217;s a little dude and he is going to think that my face is a glowing white Apple.<\/p>\n<p><i>*This post is about work<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hit a wormhole back there or something.
