Congratulations! You have a new job!
…and you find out you hate it. Like, really really really hate it.
Do you hate your job so much that you despise going to the office and working with the other people there, and every day is a struggle just to show up and do your assigned tasks?
And yet you continue to go through the motions, because you kinda like your assigned duties – it’s the environment and everything around that’s really not agreeing with you.

If there’s one thing that you should make note of, it’s the FOOD SAFETY INSPECTION notices that are posted in your local restaurants.
There are only two reasons why an Inspection Score is not posted: the manager forgot to do so, or the score is embarrassing to the owner/manager.
The former is seldom likely to happen, as not having the score posted itself is a violation to be noted on the next review. The latter is more the case. Some locations do everything they can to hide a low score from being visible to the inquiring public, from placing it far away behind a counter – visible, but not readable; to placing it behind other paperwork on the wall – also visible, but obscured.
We do know of one fast-food chain location that was so proud of their “100 out of 100” score that they made a 2′ x 3′ poster of the inspection and placed it at the front door. No hiding from that.

For some people, the higher the salary the happier they are.
They’ll jump around from company to company, spending 6 months in one place, a year in another – all in the attempt to continually “bounce up” in salary when moving from one company to another.
Why do they do that? Because we all know that staying with one company and relying on that 2%-3% annual raise – if you get even that – is not the best way to increase your retirement nest egg.

Trust is one of those business attributes that a company earns over time.
Once you lose that trust, it’s hard – but not impossible – to win back. Take Tylenol for instance – they had a horrible marketing nightmare after their scandal a few years back. Pundits said that Tylenol would never recover from the backlash.
But what did the company do? They fought back hard and were able to restablish that bond between themselves and the consumers. They earned back trust.
Other companies, however, don’t learn. They bungle their relationships with their customers and soon find themselves being left behind. Again, once you lose that trust, it’s hard to get back.

There’s nothing like sitting out on the back deck with friends and some tunes, firing up a couple of burgers and having an ice-cold beer in your hand.
For some, that means getting a case of Bud Light or Michelob Ultra or Miller Lite and setting it on ice.
For others, they brew up a special batch of their own unnamed brew, then pass along their prodigy like it’s the next thing to sliced bread.
You’re likely familiar with the book ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN.
Sure, it’s a funny title and has almost become a cliche – but there really is a lot of truth to the topic, perhaps some item that you hadn’t taken the time to thing about recently.

It’s not a surprise these days – the music industry is doing everything they can to get as much money as they can from consumers and give as little as possible to the artists and songwriters.
We don’t really blame the record companies for this — business is business, after all, and there has to be some give-and-take in order to turn a profit these days.

Talking with some friends over lunch, they told us about a strange thing that happened to them at home the other night.
They were at home making dinner, when there was an unexpected knock on the door. Outside, was a tractor trailer with the doors open wide. The side of the truck indicated that it was from Thomasville, North Carolina – home of some of the best furniture outlets around.
“We’re from Thomasville,” the man at the door said. “Would you like to buy some of our furniture?”
