A Bad Mingled Wryness - Special PIHRA Conference Edition!


Good morning from Palm Springs, California…
I’ve been here in P.S. since Sunday, my second trip to this part of the country.  Other than having the country’s best airport to fly in and out of, it is beautiful out here.  Desert, mountains, and green.  Both figuratively and literally.
Anyways…
I’m here in Palm Springs participating in the 51st […]

A Bad Mingled Wryness - August 26, 2009


Wow.  It’s Wednesday.  And I’m writing my Wednesday Blog.  I think this is one of the seven signs.  Eek.
A quick note:  I appreciate all the comments to my blog from last Monday.  As you know, I still struggle with changes that I have little, if any control over.  And I guess that puts me in […]

A Bad Mingled Wryness - June 17, 2009


Wow.  It’s been two weeks since I have last posted.  I wish I could tell you that I have been busy with work, life, extra-curricular activities and the like, but that would be a big fat lie.  I’ve been lazy.  Fell off my “good eating and exercising” wagon, and somehow, the blogging followed the same […]

A Bad Mingled Wryness - Thursday May 14th Edition


Yea, I’m falling back into bad habits.  My business coach is gonna yell at me some more.  I’m trying to figure out if I can change her voice in my head to the sounds of birds singing, instead of the stinging sarcasm I often get.  It hasn’t worked yet, but I will keep on trying.
Anyways…
Jumping […]

A Bad Mingled Wryness - International Edition


It’s Wednesday, April 22 and my son and I are headed for Lima, Peru.  We get to fly north from Quito to Panama City, then back south to Lima.  Not sure why, but the last time I flew from Cleveland to Indianapolis I went through Charlotte.  Go figure why the airlines do what they do….
Anyways…
Across […]

Rambling Wednesdays - A Bad Mingled Wryness - Thursday Edition!


Yea, it’s been a couple of days, and as happened often in the past, my Wednesday rant is pushed back a day until Thursday.  Hold it, shouldn’t that be “pushed forward” a day, ’cause pushed back a day would mean I would write it on Tuesday.
Anyways…
Retaining Top Employees in Tough Times
A great title of an […]

And more march madness… if I were to write that in caps, I have to give a dollar to CBS.

When Does Humor Cross the Line in the Workplace…?
My son is currently working at a local wholesaler that lives close to our house.  He graduated from University last spring (2008) and is doing a couple of […]

OK, since this blog fell the day after the holiday, I can still use this…
Q:  What’s Irish and sits out all winter?
A:  Paddy O’Furniture!
I know.  that is just too funny.  Especially first thing in the morning.
