Standing in a car park at 6:45am with rain finding its way down the back of your neck is one of the fastest ways to understand why a work waterproof jacket isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s the difference between a productive day and a miserable one spent shivering under a gazebo waiting for the … Read more
Rain doesn’t wait for a convenient moment.
