Hello All-

I have recently met Darrin Grella, a local author, that has blown me away! He is a recruiter that has taken the career path to a new level. Check out his site; http://www.theinterviewgurus.com/ he is releasing an ebook very soon, I have already signed up for my copy.

He has stretched me by simply suggesting a written plan that I verbalize to friends and family. Simple baby steps to the goal, but without a plan there is no goal.

In addition to that check out his super real videoblog, I love the Red Rider BB gun video that even has the famous leg lamp... http://www.youtube.com/darringrella

Okay, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

p.s. keep a eye out for some new video blogging from me in 2010

loan modification

Is the federal governments plan to help those behind with their mortgages working? Loan modification is fairly new but some of the details where not disclosed:

Does this mean that it is bad? No, it is better than facing foreclosure or attempting a "short sale." Yet the pitch was made that this plan would allow for homeowners to have a fresh start. Therefore, how does this really help one with all the other items that a based on FICO scores? Insurance is the one that comes to mind, lowering your house payment but raising your insurance rates seems to be a wash.

Hours in the day

Is it just me or do you find that you rarely if ever complete all the tasks you had planned for the day? I have changed my methods of tracking my "to-do's" and generally have the same result; not enough day!

I am curious to hear what others are doing to get the most out of their day. While I am a blackberry user I have found that the tasks button simply is forgotten. I am currently using a note card as it easily slides into a pocket and quickly updated.

Add to that the time change this week and I feel really behind.... Any suggestions are welcomed,
