Getting Fit for Work

They say that working at a desk all day “makes your posterior bigger.” So, for all you workaholics out there, make sure you spend time walking around the office.

TGIF - Are you kidding??

How many times have you heard the quote, “thank God it’s Friday?” Who the heck started that?? That is one of the most telling remarks in the work place. It tells me, “I can’t wait for this day to be over so I can leave my workplace!”
“Casual Fridays” is another good one. That tells me, [...]
