Synopsis:
Janelle just started a new job in a different city. As a planner, she is ready to push out projects to the local municipalities and make a lasting impression on the new company she works for. But did she bite off more than she can chew? Her husband, Jack, just launched his own home-based software engineering business. Personalities clash at the firm, the local coffee shop, and the government office that finds any way to stall Janelle's project. Work hard. Talk more. Life unfolds where we spend most of our time: work.
