The Degania Group Poll: there seems to be an interesting split between people working for the next two weeks - and those who are just enjoying time off through the new year. Where do you fall? Are you working most days, working but out of the office, just checking e-mail - or disconnecting completely?
The Degania Group True, there seems to be some optimism about the economy. However, most people I know are still looking for new jobs or struggling in their current ones. I'd love your opinion: Is $90 (individual members)/$100 (non-members) for a 2-hour LUNCHTIME holiday party a bit on the expensive side?

Business owners have the highest overall well-being of any occupational group, according to Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index data collected in 2009. Those in the farming, fishing, and forestry professions do well on many dimensions of well-being.
The Degania Group Just a thought: shouldn't websites, especially those promoting writing and editing services, reflect proper grammar, spelling and punctuation? (Clarity and brevity would be ideal - but I'd refrain from comment if they could just execute on the fundamentals...)
The Degania Group A polite slap in the face? With the pending release of Windows 7 in late October, Apple's surprise early release of Snow Leopard was a great way of sending a message to Microsoft, with any actual use of profanity...
The Degania Group What is wrong with this picture: Just received a mailing about local adult evening classes in my town. One is on starting a non-profit. Cost: $45. Oh, and an optional reading list is available from the instructor for $5! SERIOUSLY?
