  • Vacations

    If all has gone well I've been on vacation this week, enjoying the world class quartz sand at Siesta Key in Sarasota while you work and cheerfully read my blogs entries for the week. If you've been to Cocoa Beach or Daytona, those are good beaches, but the sand gets hot and is often sticky. Just...

  • Taking Care of Employees - Storms

    As I write this a tropical storm is passing over Orlando and has turned out to be milder than expected (good) and authorities have taken steps to cancel school and ask people to stay at home if at all possible just in case (also good in my view). Yes, you can drive in 40-50 mph winds if you have to,...

  • Changing Jobs - Should You?

    I think most people fall into two groups, the ones that change jobs every year/every time they can make another dollar, and the ones that stay in one place long past the point when it makes sense for their career. What's interesting about the frequent job changers in our industry is that they are...

  • Employee or 1099?

    My friend Wes Dumey does a lot of work in the business intelligence sector as a contract employee and has a post worth reading called The Great Debate - Employee vs. Consulting . I don't agree with all of his points, but it's an interesting conversation to have. I do agree that too many of us...

  • Heroes? Probably Not

    One of the big themes this year for Microsoft (and I just saw it on the PASS Summit site) is about IT Heroes. Perhaps I'm just hard to live with today, but I don't think there are too many heroes in IT. We work hard, we make a big contribution, but for the most part being in IT isn't glamourous...

  • Link: Avoiding Burnout

    Ran across this article about burnout and thought it worth posting. Burnout is not fun to experience and heading it off isn't always easy, especially for those of us in IT. At least take a second and read the symptoms, maybe even if you're fine you'll recognize that someone else in the office...
