Thank God that’s Lady Gaga and Not Joe Biden!

The Worried Worker (W2)

Ok.  So, we got our Rolling Stone today and haven’t looked inside yet.  Can’t get beyond the cover.  The guy we had handling our war in Afghanistan doesn’t even get top billing and he’s fired.  Would love to be at the conference room table at the White House with all the interns – giggling.
 
We all [...]

The World Cup and Politics; Joe Biden, at least

The Worried Worker (W2)

North Korea lost to Portugal – 7 to 0.  This could be the worst score of this World Cup. Unless, of course, you count the odd stripping of advertisers from the French uniforms – for striking on Sunday due to a trainer being fired.

Stop Paying the Dead! And, while you’re at it, don’t pay Felons either!

The Worried Worker (W2)

The government is doing everything it can these days to save money.  So, they’re spending a little to figure out ways to save. It’s like you and I looking at which magazine subscriptions we don’t really need anymore – they were great when we first got them, but we don’t really read them anyway, so [...]

When you make connections between people – motivate them to want to engage!

Imin Bizpain

More and more you may be needed to introduce people to each other.  Society is using our talents more to “connect” people with each other, than getting things from one another.
