Intense... Me?

2008-04-25T01:38:46Z

I have lots to share today. Let's start here...... My current intern has been a nightmare - I have ZERO luck on this (more to come) - lately, she's been completely useless and "checked out" so I stopped giving her any *real* work. Today was her ...

No End in Sight....

2008-04-15T01:34:32Z

So the conference was last week... I had planned to do a little blog-recap, but I'm just too tired from the event and frustrated by it to do a blow-by-blow. The short version is this: to guests, the event was a raving success and went off withou...

Inappropriate Boss Strikes Again

2008-03-28T14:43:05Z

Men... trust me, you just want to ignore this post. So, I get this daily email of funny web-videos. I don't watch them religously, but occasionally they are pretty comical. It is mostly SNL clips and old commercials. As I am watching today's (...

Analyzing Media Hype

2008-03-10T00:48:16Z

I see articles like this published weekly across the country. I don't quite understand why this is a popular topic, but the media tends to hype it up anytime they come across one of these studies. I follow the very companies that are responsibl...

What's my job again???

My ears are going to be ringing today....

2008-02-04T16:09:26Z

My boss and I got asked to be on a panel for a bunch of regulators (talking about water). We were also asked if we could suggest another analyst to speak on the topic of electric and/or gas utilities. With that having been my previous coverage ...
