I turned my two week notice in today. It was a difficult decision for me to make, when I decided to leave the company I had worked for, for the past 8 years. I have work in one way or another for my current company for a long time, especially when you consider that the job lifespan in IT is relatively short. In that time, I've developed great relationships with all of the customers that went beyond business relationships - to personal ones. I played in Jim from Shelving Inc.'s, bi-weekly poker game and traded DVD's with Nick. I often went to many of the customers homes and worked on personal computer problems - 'off the clock.' I drank and ate, talked and joked with a majority of our clients; and customer relations was never my job duty. I am simply an I.T. integrator, a computer network guy, the tech. Out of the blue I had received a phone call from an old client - and since they haven't done any business with our company in the past year, they weren't violating any ...

This is my fourth season playing hockey with the Hornets, were part of HNA, Hockey North America. In the past we have had a difficult time finding new players, as the captain of the team recruiting is my responsibility among other things. I’ve gone to different ‘drop-in’ games at various arenas to get a little ice time and scout for new players willing to join our organization. I have posted ads in print and on the Internet looking for new players. Typically I ran into the same handful of scenarios over and over again.

Most of the players that have been with the team for a couple of years are truly beginner players. While some players are really ...

Let me take a moment to introduce myself; my name is Zoran. I am in my mid-30’s and have been a life long Detroiter. I have always found it difficult to write about myself. I don’t want to come off as conceded and self centered, I think of myself as well rounded and it’s hard to pin point a single type of music I prefer or a favorite hobby and interest. I work in Information Technology, I.T. and have been in this industry for almost a decade – but I don’t think it defines me as a person. Sure, I love high tech toys, but who doesn’t. I like video games and some sci-fi, I enjoy gadgets and the latest gizmo of the day. Then there is the other side of me, the side that says there is nothing like the feeling of a good old no. 2 pencil on paper. The feel of the wood in your hands and the graphite on the paper, the distinctive smell of a pencil and paper and the smudges you wind up with on the side of your hand. I believe the keys to happiness in life are all ...
