  • RE: Time Off

    Brandon Leach (8/20/2012)


    I've fallen into this trap many times. I'd find myself logging in to check on things on days off, etc.

    I do that too, but it's usually just...

    Gets even worse when you realize that billion, trillion, et al, mean different things in the US and the UK.
