My WebEx Meeting Notes – August & September 2020

Pen on paper, 8-1/2 x 11, 6.25 square inches per meeting.

Business has slowed down for the folks I’ve been doing consulting work for and so has my participation in the daily phone convos. In fact, I’m looking for work, or some semblance of a cash flow. Other things are in the mix, and one of these days I might post about them. Or not.

Hopefully the ‘vid mongers stop this shut down insanity soon, but the big money is still skittish. The election poses more uncertainty, not so much for the outcome, but for the probability of more violent mayhem caused by the unshackled terrorists and a cesspool of governors and congressmen who sold their souls a long time ago.
Guess we wait and see…
