The ModCon group have decided to lean into that Friday feeling and after an extended (and very tasty) lunch break are calling it quits for the day! Thanks to @PilgrimTeresa for a productive morning! #RemoteRetreat
We've joined forces with the Medievalists (😲) thanks to Teresa's #RemoteRetreat! We're getting some work done over here but are excited for a break
