Stressful Burden for
Networkers


6-8 Seminars / Workshops / Tutorials per
month!
Many request for concultancy work mainly
coming from Private and Government Owned
Industries.
Request for training from many universities.
The last few weeks is VERY HECTIC for most
Indonesian networkers.
Not sure how can we sleep in the next
