Days go by..and then I get paid.

Sometimes you just wonder where all those days go...my answer: meetings.

My new boss started on Monday, and I met her today at this conference...brilliant.But I get paid. Well. Proper.

If all minds thought alike, would we still get innovation? Genius can also be defined as: = intuis (wisdom) = cognis (knowledge) = technis (practical ability) and in addition, those people are often in possession of a 'special vision'.
