Vacay stress
Posted By : Crysti Farra

If you are like me (and most of the self employed working world) you both look forward to and somewhat dread vacation time.  Why? Because you work like a crazy person before vacation so you can enjoy your time away, knowing when you return you will just have to "rinse and repeat"! We were away for 2 weeks. i spent the first couple of days acclimati

I find mattress shopping to be THE WORST experience. I know some companies have a try for 60 day option, but still, that is not ideal unless you are going to store your old mattress somewhere in case the new one needs to be returned.

Our New New Bed
Posted By : Fred Klein

Recently we bought a new mattress. The process was a complex one during which we were tested and we tested many mattress options.   Price aside (inflation is real), it was a complicated trial and error process. Eventually we decided on a thick pillow top mattress with new (full) box springs.   Then it happened, our new bed was delivered and assembl

Personally, the pandemic did not slow me down much. Mainly because Social Security didn't slow down much. That being said, the office is definitely my preferred space. But like you, if I need undisturbed time, the home office it is!

The In-Office Experience
Posted By : Nancy Schess

  Coming out of the pandemic (although I’m not sure we ever really have come out of the pandemic), I’ve learned that I really like my time in the office.  The hustle, bustle and plain social nature of being around a group is just plain fun.      I am convinced I learn more in the office as well – even at this stage in my career.  There is no substi

Blessed to be Stressed
Posted By : Crysti Farra

As I sit in a hotel room in Woodlawn, MD tonight, preparing for what might be the most consequential meeting of my career, I ponder the meaning of my work. Am I stressed? You bet I am!  Do I work too many hours? Absolutely! Do I have work life balance? Arguably, many would say a resounding NO!  HOWEVER, knowing that as I meet tomorrow with the Comm

For me, email is my nemesis.  No matter how many I delete, it seems 10 more show up.  I have tried unsubscribing from many services, but they always seem to find a back door in.  The main problem with the "junk" mail, is that it buries my essential business email.  This has ramped up to the point where I ask my clients to not email me, but to call

Unfortunately, though I have tried to keep my business email all business, vendors that I have used in the past send relentless ads, and then sell my info to another vendor, etc, etc. etc.
