In the midst of the war of divas between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, last night on American Idol something amazing happened.
His name is Lazaro Arbos. He’s a 21-year-old Cuban native who moved to the U.S. at the age of 10 with severe stuttering issues. His story is remarkable.
The happiest and unhappiest cities to work in
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
[From Forbes.com]
It’s no surprise that most of America’s unhappiest places to work have frigid winters or sweltering summers. Unwelcomed snowstorms and dreaded heat waves can affect worker happiness, but so can income, workplace environment, co-workers and career opportunities (or lack thereof).
Employees all over the country were asked to evaluate ten factors that affect workplace happiness. Those include one’s relationship with the boss and co-workers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and control over the work done does on a daily basis.
They evaluated each factor on a five-point scale and also indicated how important it was to their overall happiness. The numbers were combined to find an overall rating of employee happiness for each respondent, and then they were sorted by geographic location to find the happiest and unhappiest cities for employees. (These aren’t necessarily the “best” and “worst” cities to live in; they’re simply the places where workers are most and least happy right now, according to CareerBliss data.)

The Office Refrigerator Note
Thursday, January 10th, 2013
Candy 95 News Gal, Kat McMullen cleaned out the office’s fridge last week. A Big ”THANK YOU!” to Kat for braving the unknown. The smell was putrid and I honestly lived in fear when opening the door to retrieve coffee creamer.
However, even with the major food disposal that caused the kitchen to wreak of dirty feet and old curdled milk… The smell inside the refrigerator is STILL questionable at best. Back to the appliance cleaning, drawing board!
Check out Kat’s note that she left on the refrigerator.
