I’m going to try to (roughly) put these in order but it’s a long list and so I may not get it perfect…everybody I’ve reported to at RPL in 17 years, either officially or temporarily when I was between managers (which could often be a fairly long stretch as well.) I feel lucky as I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Should I Tip In USD or Local Currency While In Mexico?
I’ve never done this before but my original post from March 2019 is displaying weirdly and I’m too lazy to dig into my blog’s plug-ins and undercarriage to fix it right now.
