We got stuff done but weren't collaborating, and that's unfortunate ... I was trying to shepherd us through the usual process and it wasn't working * Shelley ... I agree, but I don't know how to balance that ... I can't concentrate if I'm working together * Brandon ... I just worked on things and it felt good ... I'm tired of just talking about things
