		<description><![CDATA[Johanna Rothman, the famed consultant, author, and former Agile Conference Chair, just put out a blog post called The Company Doesn&#8217;t Love You.

		<description><![CDATA[For the past couple of months I&#8217;ve been in Michigan, doing consulting/contracting for a local client. Whoever romanticized long-term road trips was wrong; it is nice to be home every night.  (I blame Jack Kerouac).
