FAT OR FICTION?

It's easy to measure how much we weigh - and many of us are returning to work with a slightly higher number than when we left.

Measuring bloat in a business is not as easy, though it can be. Understanding your team's capacity for generating revenue allows to you to readily compare their capacity to actual efficiencies.

Acknowledging the new year, three older ladies were discussing the trials of aging. One says "I sometimes catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, in front of an open fridge, and I can't remember whether I'm putting it away or starting to make a sandwich."
The second lady agrees. "Sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs, and I can't remember whether I was on my way up, or on my way down."
The third woman laughs. "Well I'm sure glad I don't have that problem, knock on wood," she responds gleefully. To make her point she raps her knuckles on the table, then looks down at her hand, and says "That must be the door. I'll get it."
