advertisement for a miracle stick

everyone should have at least three tide sticks...one for home, office " car...ooh, maybe even your purse. the thing is amazing...just rub it on the coffee stain on your white tshirt in the morning and it's gone! no more embarassing stains to live through the day with.

Tide to Go. get one. or four.

Meeting Bingo, from RachelH

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars?
What about those long and boring conference calls?

Here's away to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call,
prepare yourself by drawing a square. (I find that 5" x 5" is a good size.)

2. Divide the square into columns - five across and five down. That will
give you 25 one-inch blocks.

3. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:

* synergy
* strategic fit
* core competencies
* best practice
* bottom line
* revisit
* expeditious
* to tell you the truth (or "the truth is")
* 24/7
* out of the loop
* benchmark
* value-added
* pro-active
* win-win
* think outside the box
* fast track
* result-driven
* empower (or empowerment)
* knowledge based
* at the end of the day
* touch base
* mind-set
* client focused
* paradigm
* game plan
* leverage

4. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those
words/phrases.

5. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand
up and shout "BULLSHIT!"**

tivo and The OC

i ordered a second tivo just now so i can record The OC, Grey's Anatomy and CSI at my house from now on. they all conflict and we can only record up to two shows at once. pathetic.

turns out it's just $6.95 more a month. the box is free with service. sweet.

goin’ with my heart

i'm coaching the 18s...i'm excited " can't seem to convince myself to coach the 13s, if the 18s are being offered.
here's to a great challenge!

13s or 18s

do i coach 13s or 18s this year? i was set to do 13s, but they just offered me the 18s. i'm torn...i kinda want the 18s, but EVERYONE i ask tells me to stick with the 13s...

13s thoughts
young " impressionable
parents will get them to practice
learning the basics
i know them

18s thoughts
old " more mature
know what they're doing " what they want to focus on
could contribute more, making my job easier
more fun plays (advanced)
potential attitude " less parental involvement

what am i missing?
