I’ve been working at my current employer for over 3 years now. That means I’ve had about 40 deadlines, but I can’t seem to get used to them. You’d think monthly magazines wouldn’t have such killer deadlines, but in reality, I’m convinced we face some of the biggest deadlines writers have to face. Especially people [...]

A few days ago I posted an article on Pinder laptop cases, which I’ve been using for quite some time. They’re top quality, and quite affordable indeed.
