When credit is good it also demonstrates the responsibility and appreciation for having the ability to have another "front" the capital so they can get done what they would like to accomplish!

I have to admit, when I was reading your blog I was nodding up and down and talking back to my computer screen. You literally...took the words right out of my mouth! It was a wonderful post and I am very glad and honored that you permitted my use of it. When do you think employers will realize they are not in control at the moment. It is indeed a candidates market. Both of them need to be made aware of this situation! I look forward to your future posts. And thank you! You are more than welcomed Bob.

But keep in mind, there is always karma. What goes around comes around and they - in their infinite wisdom of nothing more than assumptions - will get theirs in due time if not already. I hope you weren't a young thing when this happened. It would have been awful if you took this experience as a life lesson. For if there was a lesson to be learned it was never to assume the actions of another! Ego and arrogance... they should have been considered two more additions to the deadly seven!

While mine was out, a huge meeting of executives from all over the country was happening in our offices. Because I can't sit still and do nothing, I offered to file things for people, copy things, get coffee, transport files from one location to the next, help get lunch and lay it out... And an out of town big wig said to the in-town guy... well hey - it doesn't look like she's got anything to do - get rid of her. And I was gone. Sometimes no good deed goes unpunished So true… but I want to relay a story: On a temp assignment, the IT department uploaded something buggy and had to reformat all the department’s laptops.
