Get A Life...
A few months ago I wrote a rant on my blog about how some people in my industry just plain ol’ suck at their job. It’s nothing uncommon. Every industry has people working in that field that shouldn’t be. Some industries have more bad than good…some professionals get a bad rap because of this. Like Chiropractors, Lawyers and Used Car Salesmen. Recruiters often fall into the...

Last week as I sat on the train I watched a very young couple with two children get on with a stroller. The woman had an infant in her lap and I smiled at her and the baby and told her she had a beautiful family. She really did. Her husband was sweet and attentive and her two children were well behaved and obviously happy. Coming from a dysfunctional family, it was nice to see that there are...

My New Spring Resolution
New Year’s has come and gone and I have made zero resolutions. During the transition from 2009 into 2010, I was in Arizona attempting to be a snow bird and attempting to do what I call “Corporate Detoxification”. Living, working and networking in the city of Chicago has been wonderful, yet exhausting. The feeling of burnout was quickly overwhelming and I couldn’t wait to get away and embrace my...

Late Tuesday night, January 26th I sent out the following message on twitter:
“My train is stopped somewhere in Colorado and there are police cats swarming around us. Ummmm…what is going on?”
The “cats” typo (which was supposed to be cars) created a ton of replies wondering what the heck police cats were. It was a good laugh in the midst of an arrest being made on...

What I learned in Las Vegas...
If random people ask you if you need a cab, you don’t. Hail one down and only get in the ones that look like cabs. 2. If someone asks how long you’re in town for, tell them you’re leaving tonight. I’m not sure why but this makes them leave you alone. 3. There will be TONS of people flicking cards at you as you’re walking down the strip. Don’t even look. ...

This is the reason I’m in Las Vegas right now. Fortunately, I get to be here for seven days so this trip isn’t all about work! My friends Sarah and Gabe are coming in a few days and for those of you who know Sarah and Gabe, you know I won’t get any sleep at all! It’s going to be so much fun!! …I never really cared for sleep anyway.

I'm not in Sedona? WHAT??!! →
Last night I went to a local pub and met a few people that live in the area. As I’m telling them about my first 3 days here, someone mentions that I haven’t even been in Sedona yet. WHAT? Where the heck am I then? My address says Sedona… I’m thoroughly confused at this point.
Apparently, I’m staying in a place by the name of Big Park, which is another name for...

Corporate Hippie "training": Day One
Wake up and first thing I do is snooze the alarm…of course forgetting that I leave for Arizona today and still haven’t finished packing. (mostly because I got distracted by a few twitter friends playing iPhone scrabble). I finally remember I really need to book it so as far as productivity goes, I was a rock star this morning! And as soon as I remember everything I forgot I...
Ever since I found out I was leaving for Arizona I...

If you Google Chicago news, you get results of actual newspapers and news stations….
If you Google Sedona news, this is the best they come up with. I have a feeling that the next few months will be quite interesting…
