    Sitting here at work – things are totally dead. No one is here. My boss even inferred yesterday that I shouldn’t even show up. But I came in to check and send emails. Worked out this morning. I hate doing squats. They suck ass. But I did them none-the-less. Probably won’t be able to walk […]

  • Latest news is they might

Not sure exactly what is supposed to happen – I don’t think a dress code is going to get back our 2.2 (buh-buh-buh) billion loss this year. That and they deployed the employee survey on line and […]

    The coaching conference rocked my little world. I have my first practice client – one of my actresses in the show – I’ve known Nicole for a while but don’t know too much about her personally to crowd a coaching experience. So I’m going to work with her for three months, for free, once a […]
