If I find a really great or juicy story, I will definitely post it on here. I realized that blogging is great, but you have to try to have a life outside of the computer world as well. I will try to write posts when my time permits. Wireless internet providers provide internet access without attaching cables and wires to your system.

I know that you might have a large workload to deal with, but this will definitely help. The best way to deal with stressful situations like this is to stop, take a breath and relax for a few minutes. Once you get your body to relax for a bit, your focus will be much more productive on what you have to accomplish.

Flu season can definitely be debilitating to your health. Did your co-worker, significant other or a client give you a surprise by coughing and sneezing around you? Dont you wish you could be where they are (to the left) instead? It happens each and every year, even if you end up getting the flu shot.

Well, keep in mind that if you keep doing this on a regular basis, it will definitely become a big deal. You think to yourself, "Its just one bag of chips" or "Its just one chocolate bar" and no harm done. I lost about 30 lbs. in about 6 months because I changed my lifestyle.

Work is work, which can definitely be fulfilling, which I have to admit, is great in my life. You feel that your work life is in place and need to find some balance in other parts of your life? Up until recently, I too felt this way. There is life outside of the office, but of course, you need to go to work to get your bread and butter.

This will definitely make a difference to whether this should be an approach to take. Many companies these days have specific rules against importing outside mail into their Exchange system, not only for security and confidentiality reasons, but also because of document retention issues.

Your co-workers are probably all new to you, you dont know how to use the photocopier or fax machine and more importantly "where is the bathroom?" I remember throughout the first week that I was there, when I asked a question on how to do something, someone would say, "its in the manual, did you not read it?"
