A special salute to those of you working today. I did it for years.
Actually, in a hospital it’s not so bad. If you play your cards right, you can actually end up eating any number of meals you desire.

Don’t really know how to respond to the scientific fact that working women are killers, but, I guess I had better see if our life insurance is up to date.

Finding the time for holiday shopping

Thanksgiving (American) is just around the corner, and, after that is the official opening of the holiday shopping season, Black Friday, where normal schedules and fiscal sense are abandoned.
Every year, I try to pace myself for Christmas shopping, and, it just doesn’t happen. Therefore, I will likely be in the huddled masses in the […]

Greetings from no sleep Monday

Every now and then, you have a really, really late night, yet you have to go to work the next morning.

Business Travel Guide
