Fun is a big part of my day. As you might imagine, I take my fun breaks seriously. I work pretty hard at them, too. And I make sure that our whole office (i.e., me and Pam and Sid) take fun breaks throughout the day. Continue Reading
Boss Imajerk is reviewing the work of a new employee and finds that he didn’t turn in a report at the end of the day as mandated by policy. He calls the NewKid in to correct him.
Imajerk: “NewKid, you didn’t turn this report in yesterday! I told you to finish this report and turn it in at the end of the day. What were you thinking? Now finish it and turn it in to me!

Of course, the drama is enhanced by the up-close-and-personal interview immediately following the contestant’s departure. There, for the most part, the contestant whines about the other players and the injustice in the votes that eliminated him or her from the competition. Continue Reading
“Live for Today: Gen X Women Focus More on Shopping Than On Investing.” That was the title of a May 18, 2001 article in the Insider Business Daily. The gist of the article is that young single women between the ages of 21 and 35 significantly lag behind their married counterparts and men in financial planning and investing. According to a study conducted by the Sutra Foundation and Oppenheimer Funds, 53% of these women live paycheck to paycheck, have credit card debt, and wish they had better control of their finances. In fact, two-thirds of the respondents said getting rid of credit card debt was of higher priority than finding a spouse or having an active social life. Continue Reading
