Technically Broken

When the list of projects keeps piling up and others shift priority. It’s a constant struggle of back and forth and trying to find the time to get it all done. Join us as we come back to it all while experiencing our own technical difficulties as we hope to deal with and get through our own project fatigue. During this episode, we call it season 2 episode 1,  but decided later that it’s more of a 10.5.

The jobs that make you heavy sigh before you heavy sigh right before you even know the full scope of what you're gonna have to do. It's every bit of that love/hate relationship with fixin' shit.
