How to Talk to a Person with Bad B.O.

This may be a recurring nightmare among folks in management positions: a star employee has a problem with body odor… and it’s up to you to talk to them. What do you say? How do you approach the subject tactfully? It’s not an easy one. Even for the people we hold closest — family and friends — it’s not always easy to point out a flaw like body odor.

At which point I promptly made my second mistake: I got my training mixed up and thought that I … Continue reading →

My Embarrassing Trip to the Courthouse, Part One

Yesterday, I talked about a job that may be the perfect fit for you: Researching info at courthouses. If you missed that blog, you’ll definitely want to read it before you read this blog. 🙂 I had been to my courthouse before to file some small claims cases for the bricks and mortar job I had had previously, so when I was told by Sunlark (the courthouse research company) to go to the courthouse, I thought, “Okay, I can do that.” I went upstairs to the Magistrate office, laptop clutched in my sweaty hands, nervous as a thief in the … Continue reading →
