The Hunt For A Job Is On!

With graduation season commencing (pun intended,) tens of thousands of graduates are looking for a job. The National Association of Colleges and Employers reported this year that the outlook is positive for college grads. However, everyone knows that doesn’t mean a job will be handed to you. Aside from sprucing up your resume and doing […]

Organizing Your Digital Content

“Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized.” — Marilyn vos Savant But it doesn’t have to be! In our “own little” digital worlds we get bombarded with vast amounts of information every minute of every […]

What Are Your Plans For Doomsday?

Here we go again – the world is ending tomorrow and, surprisingly, a lot of people believe it. Throughout history, there has been an obsession with predicting the day on which God will unleash his wrath upon us humans and wipe us off the face of the Earth. For example, though Nostradamus predicted life-shattering events that never happened, there are many […]

Can We Bench The Sports Clichés?

It’s hot dog and baseball season! Maybe that’s why I’m more conscious of sports jargon taking over in the workplace. Yes, we often end meetings with the sign-off, “Go, Fight, Win!,” and we talk about leveling the playing field. But some are just tired, and others don’t make sense. Take baseball. As much as I […]

@#$% Our Mothers Say

It’s been a big week for world news, and as we slow down to celebrate Mother’s Day I have collected some “mom-isms.” At first glance, the wisdom may seem dated and quaint, but some aphorisms are worth a second look. So, before you decide whether you’re going to see the latest Kate Hudson movie or […]

What We Learned From The Royal Wedding

You’ve got to hand it to the Royals. They know how to work a room… or a universe, actually! The days leading up to the wedding, William and Kate (WillsKate?) were everywhere. There was daily newspaper fashion speculation, 24/7 TV talking heads, even betting sites laying odds on Wills jilting Kate at the altar. It […]

Avoiding Typos And Getting Grammar Right!

Typos happen. Everyone makes them, but if you’re not careful, you can end up on blogs, as the topic of office chitchat, or even in the news. (See here for how Adweek spelled “Zynga” as “Zenga” on the front page of its re-launch issue, causing a small backlash.) It’s human to overlook something that you’ve been […]

Bring My Planet To Work Day?

Bring My Planet to Work Day? The BP oil spill is one year old this week, coincidentally the same week as Earth Day. Although the gulf is recovering, and Earth Day is already 41 years old, are we doing much in our day-to-day lives to effect change? Since much of my day-to-day life is at […]

TGIF: Sleeping On The Job

No one is immune. Vice President Joe Biden may have been meditating during a recent economic address delivered by his boss, but it sure looked like he was catching some z’s. In a more serious incident, a Nevada air traffic controller was caught snoozing on the job, the third such incident in less than two […]
