Ask the Tarot: What’s My Work Style?
I used to have a full time job in a nice office, at an institution that I truly believed in. I stayed there for almost five years, and then I decided it was time to quit, pull up stakes, and move to a foreign country. That’s right, I don’t do things by halves. [bctt tweet=”That’s […]
