Kim Kardashian Tosses Carl Jr’s Salad

First off, Kim Kardashian doesn’t eat at Hardees, or Carl Jrs, or whatever they call themselves depending on which state you are in.

If you think she does, you probably also think she uses the Teeth Whitener you’re still getting rebilled for, or the amazing Berry Juice you don’t even notice getting billed to your cell phone.

The best things in life are messy? She is taking a bath with a crouton..and blowing a piece of fruit. WTF is this commercial?

Here is the commercial:

If I see a bunch of construction workers murdering these salads the next time I go to Hardees I will apologize for this article. Please, someone, anyone, find a way to get her to stop endorsing more products! I’m tired of getting punched in the ribs every time one of these come on Television!

Teeth Whitener I can understand..but do ppl really buy this load of crap?

Take a Break for Clients’ Sake

It’s lunchtime on Monday and I have a few minutes to read over some of my coworkers recent blog postings.  One that caught my eye a few weeks ago was Dennis Yu’s article on “Brutal Efficiency“.  Dennis makes some great observations in his article about working hard, being efficient, and getting the job done.    Ironically, his article, coupled with a 20 hour weekend of work, made me realize that  stopping yourself from working all the time is just as important as starting and completing work in the first place.

Remember to take a break (for your client’s sake) and reflect on work.  I often get so stressed out and tired that I end up blowing up on coworkers and clients for small things.  My patience disappears, my ability to comprehend and absorb new ideas diminishes, and I get stuck in 4wheel-drive, sometimes in the right direction and other times completely off course.  I don’t even need to mention how many nights I’m sleeping on the couch lately, poor nutrition, or angry dogs.

If all you do is work, the work can start to blind you.  You can easily work yourself into a position with no clients or friends by trying extra hard to make everyone happy and never taking a break.

Are you working 120 hours/week?  Try to relax a little, you’ll have more success.
