History repeats itself over and over and fast and faster. Can I sell you a fax or my answering machine?

Dreadful technology is a fact of professional (and often personal) life. Deal with it.

Love-Hate relationship. Before you had an impossible five day a week job. Now you can do it with an extra two days. And those weekend blackberry days by the pool don’t seem stressful at all

The reality of the seven day workweek. Love it or hate, that is the question. And I’d have to say considering the times, I love it.

Everyone says “addictive”. I say efficient. I don’t find it intrusive on my supposed off hours at all. If answering an e-mail from the pool is stressful, I’l take the job.

I love this blog! Not just this one, but all them in general. It’s very forward thinking to have a manager who talks transparency and actually is. Anyone there ever get any flack for their posts? Does the the person in charge rule anything out? This blogs speaks volumes about authenticity (how sad it would be to discover is it all edited).

And the technology/blackberry question would have been a good one 5 years ago. Too late. While my husband spent more of the Red Sox game on his blackberry last night than watching the game. Neither of us minded (until the first home run). Efficiency. Easy.

I’d give you mine, but it beats a crappy Monday morning that overwhelms you before the coffee even sinks in. Tell your cheap boss to get you the technology you need to do your job. There really is no choice for anyone who aspires to be successful or already is. And it’s not just our industry.

YUCKEE.. Here I sit looking at a mountain of e-mails that will take me until Friday to catch up with. Can any of the naysayers on this trail donate your blackberry to me? I will gladly take out over this dreadful and familiar Monday morning feeling.

Everyone who wants to keep their job over in this corner dealing with the evolution and speed of communication. And everyone who doesn’t-complain.
