Loaded Questions 8/19/22 - Art
How great thou art!
Hey everyone! We had a little bit of a pause here at Loaded Questions. It has been a rather busy August for me, including my work picking up. I work for the University of South Carolina working with grad students, and a lot of my job is making sure they get those finances as the new school year starts. First day of class was this week, and I’ve had to hire roughly 50 students with all their coursework. LUCKILY, we are now past the main bulk of that, and I’m glad to say LQ is back and back daily. And just in time, since LL94 starts in less than 2 weeks! To make it up to you, Saturday and Sunday will both be for all subscribers. Thanks everyone for hanging in there, and I hope you are hanging in there wherever you are.
