…but Dude, have a salad and lay off the Big Mac. This is not good. Seriously. Pretty soon surgery will be the answer to everything and humans wont have to be responsible for anything. And I can say this because I am a bit on the fluffy side myself. But we all know that getting up from your sedentary life and putting down the chips is what helps – not surgery for crying tears.

Using the Web to boost salary?
Saw this in the NYT today. It seems like PayScale was unable to “process” my request. I guess Senior Associate at a PR firm in Andover is not a popular search 
. However, I went through the process and it takes a lof things into consideration, where you went to school, how many years you have been in the industry (10) and it asks questions about various benefits, flex time, etc. I would interested to see if any of you readers have any luck.
The Juggle
I just came across this from the WSJ Online. You might need a password to view. It is so refreshing to see and hear stories of other folks trying to manage work and family life.
New Communications Forum
I would love to go to this, even though I am so not a fan of Las Vegas, been there too many times for work. My colleague Joel will be going and also my friend and former colleague Dave Parmet, you can find their track here. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this year’s discussions. I think it’s the third year, and wow, how things have changed. Who ever thought that Web 2.0 and all that goes with it would become as large as it has. I was skeptical in the beginning and now not only have I embraced as many concepts as I can understand, but I am excited about what it means for PR and eventually what it means for daily life.
Driving and Cutting.
I hate cutting. I hate it. Why do people think it is ok to cut you off on a highway when everyone is goin 60 mph? Really. If you are in that much of a rush, you should have gotten up 5 minutes earlier. This morning, I was in the fast lane on Rte. 3S, going 71 mph, the speed limit is 55mph. And this guy was on my tail, like within inches. So, being a safe driver, I moved over to let him go. Here he was “Big Man, Big Truck”, or not. It was a Kia Sportage. I mean, I have nothing against Kias, I have never been in one. But, if you are going to make yourself out to be all big and bad, get a real truck. And here’s a tip to anyone who has to merge in traffic – get in your lane prior to 50 feet beforehand. We all see the signs that the exit is coming up, there is no need to wait until the last minute and cut everyone else off who has been waiting in line.
