Det jeg gjør meg så jævlig forbanna. Du veit ikke hvem på jobben som har eller er i familie med noen med nedsatt immunforsvar. Hvis du går på jobb når du er sjuk er du en egodrevet pikkskalle uten evne til å tenke på andre mennesker. En ekstremt dårlig kollega.

Quick Q for authors - where would you like to see reviews? Which sites have the biggest positive impact for you?
Is it social sites like Goodreads or Booklist or Book Riot - or the shops themselves like Amazon or Waterstones or Blackwell's?
All for gaming the system. I just need to know #booksky

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.
