    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    DO NOT STAY at the Nob Hill Hotel

    Tuesday, 15 March 2005 9:49 A GMT-07
    I admit that I am a fashion flunkout, so maybe all you fashionistas out there can help me understand why I am not supposed to wear black and brown together.  I think they look nice together. Is it wrong to wear a brown jacket with black pants? WHY??

    Brett made this comment: For example, I'd be curious to see if I could start a heterosexual club along with the GLBT club. I understand heterosexuality is the vast majority of the general public, however, what if I put a spin on it. Musical theatre d

    I love Martha Stewart. Although I wouldn't want to work for her and I do believe all the tabloid headlines about her being a psycho control freak (who ran over a bunch of little sweet baby chicks with her SUV), I think she is a brilliant business wom
