Hi Work and Family members,

Just about everyone is Blogging. I have on online journal (blog) that I
share with friends. I have made it a part of my signature at the bottom of
my personal e-mails. I find that it is a good way to stay in touch with a
lot of people at one time without much effort. Whenever I send an e-mail
to my friends they can take a look see what’s going on in life (and my head).

This week I talk about using a Blog in the workplace.

*On the Job - Workplace Blogs*
Have you ever thought of using a blog to disseminate workplace information
and news instead of a printed newsletter?

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through
life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts,
hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms,
inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving,
laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound
us all together. —Erma Bombeck
