I was very busy these past few days adjusting to my new role. I will be offsite in 2 days and will concentrate on trading again. Our Baklad business is on slump, issues I don't know why but we still get minimal gains.
Gastrolith on the other hand gets orders occasionally (we do not have time to make).

Again, we won our bowling game against an elite team. I had a good game and managed to have few strikes and spares. Overall, the past week have been to much as I cannot have a good sleep because of thinking too much. Eyes closed but mind still working.

Just accept the challenge and surpass yourself. :)

Cheers!
