When Did Guest Posts become a Blogger Out of Office?

May 11, 2010

Something has just come to my attention: there are a number of bloggers either filling in their time off with guest posts or taking posts for future vacation dates. One could assume it’s a good idea to give people some extra exposure and keep the blog rolling while you’re off. It makes sense, and mazel […]

OMG I Got Political!

May 7, 2010

If you know me, you know I don’t exactly thrive on politics. I was asked by our editor over at The Daily Get Up to contribute something on the Gen-Y perspective, and well, that’s exactly what I do! Since I rarely cover the subject of politics, I thought I would share this post: Politics Schmolitics: […]

Publishing Zen

May 5, 2010

I’m fascinated by magazines. I love the glossy pages, all the ads and pictures, and the words! Oh the words! But you want to know what I really love? What it takes to go to press! Or at least my perception of it. I fully admit that I am limited in my perception by how […]

May Goal Meet Up

I Got Marketed

May 3, 2010

*Normally, at the beginning of the month I would be going over monthly goals. I got so excited about sharing this story that I’ll catch up on goals a bit later.* One thing I love about my job is that as part of our employee rewards, they’re experimenting with flexible work. For me, it means […]

Jerks…

April 29, 2010

The Seth Godin Brazen webcast was today. I’ve decided that with the death of Elizabeth Post this week, we should acknowledge something: People are rude!

The New Romance

April 26, 2010

After reading a number of posts about how social media is changing the dating scene, I wondered if there were other changes that had little or nothing to do with social media. I’m a single, female, 20-something, so *hopefully* I’m not way off base with my assumptions about how women may view romance. Movies have […]

Do You Have What You Really Need for the Long Haul?

April 22, 2010

“We don’t have what we need anymore because of changes made years ago. For example, an auto insurance company now has to relocate auto mechanics to various states because many of those states have taken away vocational/technical education programs. The insurance company is now responsible for providing members with certified service locations, except those locations […]
