Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, despite all of the posts that I’ve made about post-secondary education and it’s benefits (and sometimes, lack of), I’ve bit the bullet and registered for classes. Not regular classes, as I’ll never do that again, but continuing education classes. Now, before you go “what the hell is the point […]
Continue ReadingI want to apologize to everyone who is making comments that aren’t being posted. Our spam protection software sometimes picks up comments that are legitimate and labels them as spam, and unfortunately in order for me to rectify the issue I have to go in and dig through hundreds of spam comments to find the […]
Continue ReadingJanuary 4th arrives in 2 hours (for me, anyways) and I was thinking: what are YOU doing to do it up in 2008? I really want to know, not only because I have some massive plans for this year but also because I always feel refreshed and ambitious come the start of a new year. […]
Continue ReadingHow I wonder who you are? Do you ever think back to your high-school or college days and wonder what all your friends (and enemies) are up to? Applications like Facebook, Classemates, and MySpace have certainly made it easy to recreate old connections and bridge gaps that have been created between former friends, but there’s […]

Conversely, if you’d rather not venture outside your front yard, relocating for a job is the last thing you should do. The changes brought about by relocation affect not only […]
Continue ReadingEvery office has “that” guy. You know, the guy that everybody hates for (insert reason here), or the guy that everyone ignores because (insert reason here). Regardless of the reasoning behind it, there’s certainly nothing to be gained by being “that” guy. What’s odd is that every office seems to have a guy (or girl, […]
Continue ReadingThe last point I’d like to address is that business is hard. Yes, the monetary and personal rewards can be immense, but neither of those things come for free or come without hard work and a serious commitment to the job of making the business grow and expand.

Continue ReadingWhat baffles me the most about a lot of business owners is how little thought they seem to put into their projects, yet many of them experience great success with their businesses.
