Office Space..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have fallen behind in my blog-reading this morning. I could tell you that it was because I had to run our monthly invoices, or because I had a problem monitor upstairs, but the truth be told, none of that took up as much time and mental energy as coming up with something witty to say on 3, count ’em 3, birthday cards as they were passed around the office this morning! I can hardly wait for the cake “gatherings” and sugar buzzes later in the week that go along with those cards. 🙂

    So I’m giving Mailwasher a trial run, to see how it handles spam and stuff. My first impression is that it’s fairly cool, just having the ability to bounce emails is going to be fun. But the big functionality, at least to me, is the promised support for Hotmail accounts that’s coming in the next…

  • Linked – The 1 Major Skill That Most Employees Say Their Bosses Lack

    Every poor manager I’ve ever dealt with has been a poor communicator. Almost every shortcoming or problem I’ve seen people have with a manager or coworker could be filed under a problem with communication. It’s THE thing in the workplace. Ideas, expectations, priorities, and everything else in the workplace come down to the ability to communicate. If you cannot communicate clearly, you are lost, and the people who work for you or lost.

    Pulled from Brad this morning is the ExtremeTech article. Now the title of this article and the general feel of this article is NOT what is actually happening!
