Throwback Thursday: Not My Finest Hour (But I’m A Good One Nonetheless)

/ Leave a Comment / Throwback Thursday, Working

We read stories about people quitting work by doing something outlandish and think, OMG, I could NEVER. Around the time I quit MIX/CFRB there were much bigger and bolder exits from broadcasting. One used their airtime to lambaste their boss and company owner. Another tossed his headphones and walked out.

Reading Words and Naming Names

/ 2 Comments / Working

Anecdotal evidence used as fact only causes trouble. I like dark roast coffee. My husband likes dark roast coffee, as do a couple of our friends.
