Visitor

Resident

This is where I live

I’ll see how he is on Facebook and I’ll send him a message on Facebook, even though he’s sitting five feet away from me. So, I’ll type him something and he’s like, “Jon, just ask me, I’m right here.” I’ll type back, “No. What’s the score?” USU4 – Visitors and Residents

‘Visitor skills are the low hanging fruit, it's residency skills, and the ability to balance them with other pressures, where the advances in technology lie. ...So where is the low hanging fruit of residency?’ Alan Cann http://goo.gl/kkfJE
