Last week, two boxes arrived for my children from Amazon.  A dear friend of mine emailed me and told me she had sent them each a book.  And she was wise enough to know that opening the box is part of the delight.  So she sent two separate boxes. I brought them in from the front [...]

Remember that girl that you met a few weekends ago… the one that kept looking at you out of the corner of her eye? That really hot girl that if you were able to stand next to her for two minutes, people would look at you and ask, “What in the bloody hell is [...]

“We would like to set up a phone interview with Mr. Smith. Please find out his availability.”
“Mr. Smith is available today at 5:00 pm and also Wednesday between 3:00pm – 5:00 pm.”

Lately I’ve noticed just how quickly the [tag]December[/tag] [tag]holidays[/tag] are approaching, and with them the holiday [tag]party season[/tag]. As regular readers know, I’m not married and not heavily attached to anyone; [...]

On a crazy whim, I have started training for the 2007 Georgia ING Marathon here in Atlanta. Trust me, I am not even sure what I was thinking when I sent my form in to train with the Joints in Motion team. I must not have been sober. However, one thing I have noticed as [...]

So we arrive at another Friday, another end to a hard-working week. And once again the question presents itself: What is it about Fridays that finally allows “powers that be” to sign off on extending offers? 3 clients this week interviewed candidates prior to Wednesday and knew that day they intended to make the candidates [...]

Some of the most successful people are those that know exactly what they want and go after it. They aren’t sitting around biting their nails and saying “Well maybe tomorrow”.
