"likely to have an impact on my work in the near future"

Roche

Before I start – I just want to emphasize that everyone is entitled to at least one boring Blog post. Well, this is mine. Apologies up front. I did have good intentions, however. I was even going to start it off with some experiences I had in the jungles of South America...

Do I “like” pages that have to do with work? I’m not sure.
