A meeting with my manager let me know my job performance was not up to snuff. My dismissal was inevitable, and after the obligatory flurry of tissue and kind words, I was sent on my way.
My manager assured me that I’d be just fine.
“After all, you’ve got all these stories in the newspaper. That must bring in some money.”
This Week:
I’ve been having a hard time keeping on task lately so we had a family meeting to try to get back on track with our work schedule. I am the children’s primary caregiver in the mornings and Richard takes over in the afternoons. One problem we’ve always had is that, even when Richard’s on kid-duty, the children still come in and ask me for things – i.e. “Mom, can you take us to the pool?”; “Mom, have you seen my robot?”; “Mom, do you think my favorite jeans are in the washing machine?” “Mom! Frank flushed my eye shadow down the toilet!” and “Mom, Max is giving Percy a haircut!”
If you feel something in your book may stir controversy, or bring critics out of the woodwork, don’t let your future critics get in the first word. Protect yourself and your reputation ahead of time by addressing your critics before the criticism begins.

I’m writing in regards to the amazon.com zshop listings for sellers that sell books. The information for the sellers has a line that states purchase information with a quantity. Does this indicate that they have purchased this quantity of books?
We had four kids, a mortgage, car payments and assorted bills. What better time to become a full-time freelance writer?
I neglected to mention I also had a wife – a very supportive wife – who still remains very supportive. Of course, when I told her I’d be working at home, she went out and got a job.
This Week:
Our Independence Day holiday was very relaxing. We took the day off, attended the parade and spent time with the children. Ali treated us all to homemade macaroni salad, homemade apple pie and homemade cake (God bless her) and she and Richard cooked hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill.
