I am keeping the nose to the grindstone for work the next few weeks. But here’s your fresh and tasty content for the day, links and posts mostly from weekend browsing. Good stuff though.
Advice for new graduates from the Washington Post. (Go to Bugmenot for a login if you need it.)
Bellsouth is going to stop charging the replacement fee for Universal Service Fee that expired on August 14th. When will Verizon stop?
Frugal Duchess on saving for retirement or college fund. My vote is for retirement! But hey, I’m done with college anyway! LOL! Seriously, take a look at my comment and you’ll understand why retirement is a much better answer if you want peace of mind for your kids.
Jim at Blueprint for Prosperity has some good strategies for sticking to a budget. I should probably listen to him, but I’m just not a very good budgeter. I don’t really like the way Quicken has too many categories and then the auto-creating budget always seems really skewed.
Dumb Little Man on crappy things a manager can do to get his employees to quit. I have to say, working for small companies eliminates a lot of this sort of thing. The places where I’ve run into the most problems with office politics were places that were 500+ employees. But I think all of this is generally good advice for anyone who wants to know what NOT to do when they become a manager.
Fedexfurniture.com is pretty neat. Cheap furniture from boxes. However, I don’t understand why he didn’t paint over the logo and scrub the site of FedEx mentions. That probably would have stopped a lawsuit. (Of course, I am a big fan of Jennifer Grannick. I heard her speak at a conference. She’s quite a smart cookie.) Love Jose’s motto though: It’s OK to be Ghetto!
