Working in HR means that I receive calls – by the dozen – every day from recruiters wanting to place candidates with me. It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that my turnover is incredibly low and that I have a list… Continue Reading “Recruiters”
USA Today ran another of those “what are we spending our money on during the recession?” articles. No surprises, really, but here was a good point: Still, when the economy grinds to a halt, people clench their teeth. That could mean spending money at… Continue Reading “The Dentist”

I am very done Christmas shopping. I do not buy gifts for that many people, so it isn’t a terribly big feat. I did a lot online. In fact, I am wondering if it is time to sign up for the rewards program at… Continue Reading “The Christmas Shopping”
The link reads: McDonald’s sued after nude pics lost in phone go online. Yeah. The AP is running the story of a guy that left his phone at a McD’s. Apparently, he called and the employees said they would “secure” it for him. The… Continue Reading “Oh. I Don’t Think So.”
A genetic resistance to Novocain and a couple of dismissive dentists made me one of those crazy fearful people. I knew it was irrational, I knew my teeth would only get worse. But those of us that have been there know there are few… Continue Reading “Public Service Announcement – Doctors”
