Sometimes it seems as if communicating effectively with one’s partner is an impossible task – overshadowed only by their ability (or lack thereof) to communicate with us. What gets in the way? Why is it so hard to talk to the one you love and be really, deeply understood? That’s what we all want. In […]
A Bit of A Rant (or, Where have all the good companies gone?)
When exactly did it happen that people stopped doing their jobs? Grrrrr. This is one of those things that really ticks me off. To get on my soapbox for a minute, where has professionalism gone?
