Perks Of Inside Sales
I retired recently and in looking back on my 50 years of work, I can say the best job I worked was in inside sales outsourcing. For this position, which I worked for over 20 years, I not only felt the reward of working on a team, but also got to interact with customers on [...]
Credit Crunch
I was totally resolved not to let this whole financial crisis get in the way of my trip. I had planned it for almost two years, and it had taken me that long to save up the money to travel the way I wanted to. My tickets were booked and my itinerary was mapped. I [...]
Surveys
It seems like everywhere you go these days they want you to take some sort of customer service survey. Whether it is something on the bottom of your Wal-Mart receipt to get online and take a customer satisfaction survey or the customer survey they throw at you with your bill at the Outback Steakhouse, it [...]
Fly Fishing in the Georgia Waters
You don’t even have to live far away to have the chance to go on a fly fishing trip. At least if you’re living in Atlanta. There are trips you can go on that are led by various Georgia fly fishing guides. Only a couple hours away, you can get away for the day and [...]

Everyone agrees that the United States health care system has serious problems. The heart of it all, I think, is that health care has become a very expensive and high tech field, and I think we can all be grateful for that. Modern pharmacists and doctors make our lives much longer and more comfortable than [...]

Carpal Tunnel: A Death Sentence for a Writer
At times I struggle with pain in my wrists. I am deathly afraid that it is the beginnings of carpal tunnel, which in my opinion is a death sentence for a freelance writer — I make my living by typing on the computer, after all!
Another thing that it could be is repetitive strain injury. I [...]
A career change into bail bonds
I’m not overly happy with my current career as a sales clerk. I just find that I’m not getting nearly as much satisfaction out of the job as I was years ago. So I have decided that I need a career change, only I’m not 100% sure what I want to do.
I started thinking about [...]
