Facts
It is amazing how facts seem to escape everyone these days. They base all of the information and decisions on what others say without ever confirming that what the person said was real. In my opinion and based on what I’ve observed, people will say and do whatever it takes to make sure that you […]
What your boss wants?
Has your boss ever given you instructions and you understood those, but then you hand them what you thought they wanted and then you get it back and it is all marked up and basically told you do not understand, this needs to be completely redone, you cannot write, etc? Well welcome to the club. […]
Ignorance
Seems like people are more ignorant today with all the available resources than they were 15+ years ago.
