IT Insights Blog — Giving

It's good to give back. For thousands of years, humans have come together to create societies and communities that pool resources and combine efforts to create better conditions for living, laboring, leisure, and everything else that fills up the hours of the day and night.

Like a lot of other skilled professionals, many IT workers are probably somewhat going through the motions around the office right now. Everyone is taking it easy, passing out gifts to coworkers, dressing up for the company Christmas party, and sort of generally running out the clock on 2017. There will be plenty of time for all of us to relocate the grindstone and get our noses back where they belong in January.
