Darth I was just there and all I saw was
"Sales of my book have been fine, maybe even good if you take into account that nonfiction sales are dire... But I donβt think anything I did on social media had anything to do with those sales. What my intense use of social media over the past two years did have an impact on, however, was my brain"
Spotlight on mac is so dumb. I search the name of a client to find one of her over a dozen contracts in my files to reference. The second entry in the search results is a link to web results for a relief pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. Like wtaf.
