two thoughts...:
1)your life lesson (#34) is a good one- trusting others to help out and do it their way usually works. (As long as they're not complete dimwits...:))
and 2)Have you ever seen the British version of the office? It rocks! I've never seen the US version, but I'll give you (and it) props by association!
Happy New Year again!
happy new year! hope this one finds you less frustrated :)
LOL at #5.
I love fishing, but haven't done it in ages. I should go the next time the uncles take out the boat.
I'm trying my hardest to delegate. it's so hard. I'm so used to doing everything myself.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Frustrated! Its good to know some of the good people have managed to survive yet another year!
I enjoy how we both realized delegating is important last year. This was a fun read Mark! Hope 2007 brings you the best.
Oh, and got the book this morning! Thanx! Just read the story about the mural. These real people? If so, then post a pic of the murals!
