Sometimes, it’s Just a Chicken Sandwich

My 11-year old son unwittingly made a political statement today when I took him to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Okay, let me correct myself – we BOTH unwittingly made a political statement today when we went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Such drama in world.

One of today’s articles (4/23) is a reminder for some very basic Business Etiquette rules that are often ignored or forgotten. One such reminder deals with … Continue reading »

Monthly DB* ratings ~ April!

We all know them…we may actually be friends with some of them, we likely have at least one extended family member who’s part of the team. “Douchebags.” Some are easy to spot, thanks to Ed Hardy, Affliction, and lycra shorts they even have their very own fashion line.
