    So I’ve had a breakthrough. And by that, I mean a salesperson who wanted to understand how their actions affect mine as the Corporate Controller. He had the courage to ask, not just which way do I prefer, but also “why?” I was almost a little thrown back by the question, because it’s not something…

    People sometimes don’t realize the power in their pockets. I start to realize more and more everyday that the power my mobile phone has in business today. People thought email was a big boost in business? Try leaving your phone off for a week. Even in the archaic industry of accounting, I could get remote…

    I’ve been noticing a trend with holidays in this country. With the advancement of social media, an obvcious craze that has swept this country, people are more outspoken with their beliefs and their sentiments.

    Since the iPhone was released a few years back, it seems that every new phone coming out was trying to become the next “iPhone Killer.” Never in a million years did Apple ever think that the iPhone Killer was, well Apple themselves.

    During our earnings call yesterday, it daunted on my how connected I am on the public sector. Here was two extremely important businessmen, our CEO and CFO, discussing our earnings and statistics, and I kept thinking “I hope I calculated everything right.” My main contribution to our company is the constant currency impacts.

    Really, cash for clunkers? I understand that at the current economic condition, many of us are tightening our belts, and we are hoping something “too good to be true” to come knocking on our door.

    I’m really getting tired of people blaming AIG already. It’s been proven that they did not break any laws, but continuing to dwell on the subject has gotten old. Rep. Barney Frank just called for the federal government to do a take-over of AIG and try to make it easier to get back the some…

    The total number of billionaires in the world fell from 1,125 in 2008 to 793 in 2009.  The financial meltdown wiped out $2 trillion from their net worth.  Most of you are saying the same thing as I am, “who cares!”  It’s all net worth, and not cash.  There is a difference when looking at a…
