The Glory of Going On
I’ve had friends (and former friends who have become less enchanted at what the end game of this blog will mean for their continued employment) commend me for my persistence in this struggle cataloged in this blog.

The general tenor of the conversation goes from “This wasn’t what I expected or was told it would be” to “I want this guy (Owner/CEO/Director) to rot in a foreign prison”.
