For anyone having trouble with the map: It seems not to like Firefox or Safari but seems to work on Chromium, for me anyway.

Working on an assembly line or fast food restaurant, I’d punch out and not give work another thought until I punched in. Working in the software industry, it’s seldom fully gone from my mind, even on the weekend.
