It directed me to a website that displayed two boxes, and the website was called Quilbott. …

Another way to use social media and avoid acid leakages. — People who followed me know how much I don’t like social media. I still don’t use them much today.

#4. You are trying so hard to be “Sherlock Holmes”. — There was a time long ago when me and my team lost respect for someone in the company, and we had no problem when this person left. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like it if someone leaves the company. It feels like I lost my team. But this person…
