The more detailed my calendar, the more prepared and focused I am. Even microbusiness owners can benefit from an intern or temp. Then on to Tuesday, and so on. Whom do I contact and why?

Recently, a temp worker at my job gave me another Google tip. I gave at the office Calendar "ah ha" Introducing The Administrative Bloopers Blog What ever happened to the "us" in Service?
