But I never left. — Lately, there have been plenty of articles regarding employees returning to their offices full time (or, in many cases, quitting altogether rather than returning). Employers are trying to find incentives to bring back their employees, making compromises with allowing a day or two for working remotely, so their business can…

Or, how I learned how I work best. — The alarms were set and the front doors were locked, keeping everyone else out and me in as the building’s solitary human.

Better late than never. — Back in 2017, Nintendo released Mario Party: The Top 100 for the Nintendo DS.

In my humble opinion — spoilers for the movie ahead. — Wonder Woman 1984 is the sequel to 2017’s big Wonder Woman hit. Both star Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, and were directed by Patty Jenkins.
