My employer needs someone who is educated in this program. Ive never used it before, but took a few hours each day to familiarize myself with it and it was really simple to operate. One of my readers asks: Can you help me with ACT? Ive never used it. My answer to this is: First off, cut down on the caffeine.

The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.
