#1,796 – Dark

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Did you know that “America’s” sweetheart Rachel McAdams has starred in FOUR time traveling movies and has never once time traveled herself?! I did. You see, I’ve been on a time-travel kick lately. A few days ago I watched About Time starring McAdams and earlier today I watched Palm Springs. I would highly recommend both.

#1,794 – The CAREN Act

Greatest. Idea. Ever.

Wherever you go, whatever you do it’s best not to be called that dreaded name currently making the rounds, assigned to those people who exhibited uncalled for behavior and extreme emotional responses in public places for no apparent reason.

Get Your Team Focused on Results With This KPI Template

Innovation Excellence
