Marketing gurus will tell you that customer service is a product. And if you really think about it, they are absolutely right. A slow or sassy waitress has just as much potential to disappoint as the side of runny eggs she is serving up. Lucky for her I’m the benefit of the doubt type--the 'don’t...

Every Tuesday morning starts like a bad dream. I routinely hit snooze on my alarm clock three times and debate on whether today school is a need to go type of situation before hitting it a fourth time. Around the ten minute mark, the one that decides whether I’ll catch the train or a cab to my ...

Insecurities are a funny thing, and by funny I mean little devious lice, itching at your subconscious and reminding you that you are somehow inferior. They manifest. They multiply.
