Just a quick note to say hello. I finished up my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt class yesterday and scored 100 on my test. Now I have to complete a project at work and I’ll officially be a Green Belt. I started reading NOS4A2 by Joe Hill yesterday. I am very much prepared for the [...]

Since I last posted, I have read some great books. A Grown Up Kind Of Pretty is an audiobook has been sitting on my shelves since Valentine’s Day 2012 collecting dust.
