Last week a cold front moved in, bringing in crisp air and ample rain. The skies are silver and gray. The mountains, half hidden by mists, are dusted with snow. Red and gold laves are falling from the trees to dance on the wind. In other words, the landscape is picturesque. Life feels as soothing…

My Quality Assessments have always been in the high 90’s, and since January my scores have been a consistent 100%. I’ve demonstrated my ability to learn new tasks and positions quickly, and to hold my…
