Today is Cubicle Day. Cubicles have been around a lot longer than you might think- they were first introduced in 1967! The idea was to break up open office spaces and allow for a bit of privacy/ personal space. Clearly that idea really caught on, and the majority of us have worked in a cubicle at some point in our… Read more »
My dislike of MLMs in general is pretty common knowledge. I’ve written about it before in posts such as: https://beckypalmer.wpengine.com/how-not-to-sell/ . I prefer to not purchase from companies structured that way and I’ve told people as much plenty of times. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but they are getting fewer and further between. In the last 6 months or so… Read more »
Many of us are entering or just past a month of stay at home orders/ very strong suggestions from our mayors and/ or governors. Everyone admits it’s hard on us psychologically, but we for the most past understand why it’s required right now. We also understand that there is no good way to know when this “new normal” of “uncertain… Read more »
Chances are you are up to your eyeballs in COVID-19 news. It’s pretty hard to escape it since using social media and watching TV are two of the most common activities going on right now. It’s good, even necessary, to be informed and to know how to protect yourself. This is a world event none of us have experienced before… Read more »
By now we are all suffering from information overload on COVID 19. And there are an exponentially higher number of opinions on the topic, with, as usual, the least informed making the most noise. It’s tiring. The fact is, we have not seen anything like this in 100 years. Some have compared this global pandemic to the AIDS scare of… Read more »
Nope, I’m not talking about St Patrick’s Day. I’m talking about the things we are doing differently than we were a few months or years ago to help the planet. I will admit I’m not any kind of eco warrior. I eat too many processed foods. I use some paper plates and paper towels. I eat at fast food places… Read more »
Much has been made over the recent awarding of the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh. I’m not going to comment on whether he did or did not deserve the award, if for no other reason than I am not sure what the requirements actually are. What I am going to speak to is that Rush Limbaugh is a fantastic… Read more »
Tis the season for “year in review” and “new year, new me” blog posts and status updates. Some are cute, some are poignant, some are downright annoying (fact- NO ONE cares about your workout routines or fad diet). But, the end of the year does seem to make everyone a little introspective, including me. Don’t worry- I’m not going to bust out another Year… Read more »
What do you want for Christmas (if you celebrate)? Some people answer that question with a specific item or items. Some people answer they want their family together, happy and healthy. Some people even bust out the old beauty queen cliche of world peace. Lately that lofty goal of world peace seems further away than ever- we can’t even have… Read more »
A fool and his money are soon parted. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. There tends to be a lot of true in old sayings. That’s why they’ve stuck around for so long. There’s probably a good reason why so many of them involve fools, too…… There certainly is a lot of truth in “birds of a feather… Read more »
