It’s not like Facebook is an “app” that was created for this purpose, right? Most have seen the Facebook movie, and if you have not, the media has played the majority of it out anyway so you know the basic origins of the site. In business, anyone in HR or recruiting (my line of work) [...]

Sing for your interview?
February 18, 2012Oliver may have had to sing for his supper, but have you ever had to sing for your interview? Granted, if you are auditioning for The Voice, or America’s Got Talent, or American Idol you may just be presenting your vocal talents, but those are audition not interviews. What would you think if you were [...]
Tool for Organizers
August 11, 2011As most of you who know me already know, I tend to step up and organize things for groups that I am involved in – whether participating myself or because my kids are involved. Sometimes this can be quite the headache – it takes time, energy, organization skill, and sometimes (as we all know) the [...]
Hawaii Travelogue
May 29, 2011Okay maybe not a complete travelogue (like the one’s we went to as kids where we sat there for hours watching slides on a screen and listening to someone talk about their trip), but rather a highlight reel of a few stops along the way. This one is for my Mom and Dad – so [...]
You’re not taking me?
April 29, 2011Well, it happened. I turned 50 this April. Crack all the jokes you want, I have been hearing them for some time now! One of my colleagues has been ribbing me for an entire year saying, “you are in your 50th year, you know” so by the time my actual birthday had arrived I was [...]

My Days As A Chauffeur
February 24, 2011Actually, a chauffeur is a real profession and I should not confuse my recent role with that of a professional, although I WAS handsomely rewarded just the same. Over the past week I took some time off to drive my parents to Florida so they could escape some of our Michigan winter. Normally they would [...]
Find A Need And Fill It
December 20, 2010Find a need and fill it was the title of a recent article that caught my eye while reading the Recruiting and Staffing Solutions Magazine that I subscribe to. I remember hearing this often over the years – seems it is a truism that is older than dirt, or at least as old as the [...]
The good old days
November 12, 2010Ever feel like you are an old soul that should have lived a generation or two (or three) in the past? This is not something that comes to my mind much, but life just threw a couple things at me that made me think of it. So, while the passenger in a car traveling south [...]
The Perspective of Time
November 8, 2010Time Flies. You know the saying, “Time sure flies when you are having fun?” I can’t even count the number of times I have heard this in my life. For a long time, I would always respond with, “yeah, but do you know what the frogs say to each other?” I would answer, “Time is [...]
