Men – are you more comfortable or less comfortable working for a female boss?
Women, same question to you: do you prefer working for a male boss or a female boss?
Maybe it doesn’t really matter whether the person you’re working for is a man or a woman — but if your boss is a woman, you may want to hold off asking for that raise if your boss is pregnant.

Some people care a little bit TOO much.
And some people need to learn to relax a little bit, and take their cue from Honey Badger.

Web Watch knows that to succeed at work, it’s not always who you know – but rather who knows you.
In other words, you may not know the Big Boss in your organization… but you can certainly get ahead if the Big Boss knows who you are. They’re the ones who will look out for you in the long run, especially if you’re known as someone who can get things done for them.

How many times have you sat down to watch a TV show and say to yourself, “These people are idiots – even I know that [fill in the blank] will never work!”
Web Watch sees this all the time, where some character goes on and on about some topic that Web Watch happens to know everything about, and the writers just get it all wrong!
We get it – TV is meant to be entertainment, but sometimes some basic research can make the script just that much more believable to those of us at home who actually do know what we’re talking about.

Bosses: are you looking for what type of corporate holiday gifts you should be handing out to your employees at the end of the year?
It can be tough to choose – many organizations have extremely strict limits on how much of monetary value an individual can receive as a gift. Web Watch knows of one company that gave each employee a $50 gift card last year… along with the appropriate paperwork so the proper taxable amount was reported to the IRS.
Yup, it was the classic “here’s a gift, and don’t forget to pay taxes on it” scam that’s all the rage these days.

As Web Watch has mentioned before, we know a fair number of bald (or balding) folks.
Our friends are usually accepting of their baldness, and tend to embrace it fully. Perhaps its a generational thing, as premature balding is more accepted at younger ages than our parents and grandparents who do as much as they can to get their hair back via hairpieces, wigs, transplants, or wearing silly old-guy hats all the time.

Quick poll: should you get naked when you go to your spa for a massage or other treatment?
For those who are not familiar with getting a professional massage, such as at a spa or a resort, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether you should strip down nude or not.
Web Watch will make one part of this easy for you: if you’re getting one of those fancy poolside massages while on a beach vacation, chances are that you’ll want to keep your swimsuit on rather than get naked in front of the everyone enjoying their day in the sun. You may be in a cabana, but cabanas aren’t always as private as they may seem.
In other words, save the nudity for the treatment room.

Growing up, Web Watch spent winters traversing across the countryside on cross-country skis (okay, it was mainly snow-covered golf courses, but to us it was the wild wilderness) .
There’s a reason why the NordicTrak is considered good exercise — cross-country skiing is hard work, and takes a ton of effort and coordination to do it right. Especially when you’re 6-years-old in a Michelin-man sized snowsuit.
We fell down a lot, but we had fun.
