by Jenny Sussin  |  December 11, 2012  |  4 Comments

I recognize even writing this blog post and the nature of my job alone makes me somewhat of a hypocrite for writing this, but the idea struck and I had to. So today I’m sitting at my desk and a particular group of sales guys walk by. I see them every day and every day [...]
