The New Englander: November 2013
http://anewenglanderinlowell.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Show Me a Man Who's Angry. And I'll show you a man who cares. It works in nearly any context. The only trick is that by 'angry' I don't mean someone who just gets mad when it's his or her issue (i.e. a dispute about pay, sick days, leave, etc.) I mean show me a person who gets fired up about the job itself. And I'll say you've got a quality employee on your hands. Monday, November 18, 2013. The Sorta Counterintuitive Thing About "Free". Does that make them desperate? In their ...

The New Englander: Adjuncts, Wages, and Poverty
http://anewenglanderinlowell.blogspot.com/2015/04/adjuncts-wages-and-poverty.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. Adjuncts, Wages, and Poverty. I've read a few articles lately about adjunct salaries. Some have quoted adjuncts at various universities who talk about how they earn a poverty wage, how they're on food stamps, how they're considered expendable, etc. In exchange for teaching these courses, I receive what I consider to be a fair supplement. To my annual household income. It would qualify me as poor. By itself. It would leave me without health insurance. Some of the articles I've seen...

The New Englander: August 2014

Thursday, August 14, 2014. Why Quarterly Goals Matter. A Lot. Yes, it's been quite some time. Thanks for coming back. I love to write, and I don't care how many times I've said it - I love the way this blog sort of passively keeps me in touch with a small group of friends I don't see that often. So now back to the blogging. Here's a quick thought before I turn in for the night: Quarterly goals are hugely important. Save 'em for the review at the end of September. Ice 'em until Q4. Instead, say something ...

A Naval Officer's Adventure in the Highlands.of Afghanistan. Over Thanksgiving, I was sent out into the field on a mission with the ANA (Afghan National Army).

Highland Sailor: Mid-February Update
http://highlandsailor.blogspot.com/2010/02/mid-february-update.html
A Naval Officer's Adventure in the Highlands.of Afghanistan. Just a short update I apologize for not updating you all more often, but I have been extremely busy.

Until next time: Keep your eye on a shipmate, head on a swivel and stand by to Give'em Hell! Afghan J...

The New Englander: December 2013

Saturday, December 28, 2013. The Best Thing I Heard in 2013 About.Public Speaking. During one of our Sandbox Summer Accelerator classes, Todd Frye (Mill Cities Leadership Institute) offered us a class on public speaking. One thing he said that stood out for me was a break-from-the-crowd opinion about so-called "filler words." His take on them? Only when they become a distraction - like when Caroline Kennedy says 'you know' 163 times in a three-minute TV interview - are they bad. Monday, December 23, 2013.

http://highlandsailor.blogspot.com/2009/10/busy.html
A Naval Officer's Adventure in the Highlands.of Afghanistan. I apologize for not sending out an update for a few weeks. I've been very busy working on some stuff in which I can't divulge in this forum.since I don't/can't have photos from my recent events, I have substituted a photo taken a couple of weeks ago. Enjoying a Cuban with my Aussie and Turk friends. Until next time: Keep your eye on a shipmate, head on a swivel and stand by to Give'em Hell! I am delighted that you merely shared this helpful.
