I am learning the ebb and flow of my new company and my new job and much like the job search, I have no control over when and what comes my way. I am supposed to be traveling next week but that may be cancelled. Other meetings assigned to me…

I saw that the Unemployment rate has dropped to 9%. For a long time, I was part of that statistic but when I was, I never really thought about the numbers. I had to keep my head down and everyday dig deep to keep doing what I had to do…

I had to stop at the cleaners on the way home tonight. I went there this morning but the parking lot was a sheet of ice so I didn’t get out of my car. Life is very different in the winter and you’ve really got to plan ahead. I don’t…
