When you are searching through Word, perhaps looking for something else, you may be surprised at what you find. My sister and I were refreshing our skills in Word at the advanced level and found this neat little checkbox. Not the checkbox you can insert from Symbols (Insert, Symbols, scroll down until you find Symbols and then choose your checkbox and press Insert), but this is a checkbox that you can use electronically to either put a check mark in it or unclick it.

Go ahead, fess up: You think about a lot of things during a meeting at work, and it often has nothing to do with business.

Denise Aday
SEPTEMBER 26, 2008
I was sitting here having a quick bite of lunch over some light online reading, and ran across this quote attributed to Colin Powell: “Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.&#.

Has Your Confidence Turned Into Arrogance?
On The Job
SEPTEMBER 22, 2008
As we can all witness after the latest debacle on Wall Street, there are plenty of big egos when it comes to big business. A picture is emerging of decision-makers who have reaped millions of dollars in in compensation and benefits as their companies went down the toilet. Now, of course, Congress is getting involved, and those big egos are going to be aired -- and criticized -- in public.
Reality Check: Time to Pay Attention to the Details
On The Job
SEPTEMBER 19, 2008
Sheesh. My inbox has gotten so depressing in the last week. I've been hit with dozens of queries from experts wanting to explain what has happened on Wall Street and what it means for the average worker. E-mail subject lines are a laundry list of bad news: depression, recession, job loss, bailouts, financial collapse, panic, layoffs. It's like a bad rap song for someone named "Unemployment Line.

If you do nothing else today, Google yourself. I do not say this so that you can stroke your own ego by seeing how many "hits" you get. I say this to save your ass. There's enough instability right now in the economy that everyone -- and I mean everyone -- needs to be in active job-hunting mode.

How to Survive When Your Company's Ship Sinks
On The Job
SEPTEMBER 15, 2008
Is there any more disturbing site than watching employees cart their belongings in a cardboard box out of a failed company? As I watched Lehman Brothers' employees leave the building over the weekend, it reminded me of that awful scene of stunned workers leaving Enron after it went belly up. One of the most difficult aspects of a large employer failing is that you suddenly have thousands of people in the same boat -- and not everyone will do as well as others.

Do You Know When to Run Like Hell From a Job?

Sometimes it's hard to know what you want. Sometimes it’s easier to know what you don’t want. I mean, there are a lot of career advice people – myself included – who give pointers on how to get the job you really want. But what if you’re not sure what you want?

The local nursery stocking mums and pumpkins? Whatever the reason, it strikes me as a new beginning.
