I don’t moderate my blog comments as often as I should, and unless a comment is from someone I’ve approved once before, a comment will hang in moderation purgatory until I get to it. Well … when I checked the comments tonight prior to writing a little something, I found around 750 comments awaiting moderation. My jaw dropped.

Still not quite back up to speed, but the assignments are only just starting to pick up again; one of my bosses is back from vacation—woot! I only wish I had a multiple of 3 to show.
