have you ever worked with people who had a fantastic resume but sucked at working? I am getting really tired of these types. Having a sales pitch for every challenge never actually tackles the challenge and being a sweet talker doesn’t get stuff done.

murder or self defense?
one thing seems common in the past years is that natural “disasters” and their related death tolls are good business for the news media. the ironic component to a headline that reads “storm kills #” or “earthquake kills xx” is that in fact what has usually killed them is the building they were in or… Continue reading murder or self defense?
