Okay, this isn’t meant to be morbid. I’m just saying there might need to be a little embellishment when the time comes. Make me sound good. In other words, you will probably have to lie. Thanks in advance. Continue reading

Self preservation mode
I worked with a co-worker who always operated in self-preservation mode. It was exhausting for me because I had to toe the mark. There was no give. Me being the human that I am tends to make mistakes. Daily. So this really didn’t work out too well for me. Continue reading
Be proud of what you got
Hmmm, I don’t think I need to throw out an explanation for this one. You probably know someone who fits the bill though, right? Continue reading
