Two Cents Archive Two Cents: Ditching Warp Speed, or How I Plan to Get Off the Rollercoaster, One Foot at a Time
By Paige Ramsey-Palmer, APR
I have an uncomfortable feeling of not belonging to the present. Unable to identify the reason, I’ve attributed it to too much work and not enough me. I’ve mentioned this to others – that since 2001, events seem to run together. Once I could relate a prior year to a major event or crossroads that happened, but the past decade seems like one hurried finger painting left to dry before it was finished.
