My Adventures in Elderly Care
At the age of 18, I graduated high school months earlier than my class, so I had free time to work and do other things with my life I had been severely ready to enjoy. One of the things I had never tried, led me to work in an elderly care facility, unfortunately as a laundry attendant. My shifts consisted of 4 AM -12 PM and/ or 11 AM - 6 PM, five days a week, and in that time I learned a lot about what growing old is all about.

Living the Dream
I'd had an idea of being a writer for several years and I'd been doing it to a degree. I'd published blog posts and I'd written short stories.

Notes From a Site Engineer 2
I'm clumsy. I'm not clownishly clumsy to the point no one trusts me to carry things. I'm not cute clumsy either. I'm big, blundering, blunt instrument clumsy. I have always blamed it on being tall, it often feels like my brain doesn't really know what my feet are doing. So, I have a tendency to blunder into things, and this blundering is both metaphorical and literal. I feel, however, I cannot be alone in this. There must be others who venture on site who are the same way inclined.

Make Your Business Grow by Engaging Your Employees
A company’s success depends on many factors, including market trends and management. However, the employees are the ones who make sure that all the mechanisms of that well-oiled machine function properly. And they cannot do that right if they are not motivated. The secret of making your business grow actually lies in making your people grow. This is something you can achieve with a solid employee engagement strategy. Unfortunately, there is no one strategy to fit them all, and each business has its unique requirements. Still, there are some basic guidelines we can give you and you can tailor your plans from there.
