Mackgurl's Musings

We all have at least one person we like to tell stuff to - especially funny/weird/crazy stuff, right? If you don't, get you a person! ASAP!! ! You won't regret it, I promise LOL  Yesterday, I had to tell someone what happened! I knew just who to tell... The text messages went JUST LIKE THIS!!! Me: OMG! I almost had a heart attack this morning! Aly: Why what happened???!!! Me: There was a MOUSE in the break room! Aly: NOOOOOOO way!!!! AHHHH Me: Yes way! I was over there getting coffee - I mean you know I enjoy my morning coffee - but yeah I was over getting coffee and I overhear  someone say "aye!! UN RATON!"

Okay so this is a repost. No, I'm not going to flake and NOT make a new post today. But I was reading through my blog and had to post this one more time... No matter where you work, you will come into contact with all different sorts of people and personalities. This is also true of schools and civic organizations. Take a look at this list...recognize anyone from your own personal interactions?   Pleaser – This type is always ready with a smile to do whatever is asked...no matter how big or small or demoralizing the task. They are always bubbly, never a cross word for anyone. Beware of this type - they are usually up to something or have a secret agenda. I mean really - no one is THAT nice all the time. Goody Two Shoes – This type never gets in trouble. I mean never! Not that they don’t do plenty that would qualify as trouble. No, they will do whatever they have to do to ensure their name remains free and clear of all work place detritus. They are not above stretchin...

Hi there, blogoverse. The foray into the lives of others - what they do, what they like (hmm, kinda nosey huh? nah, just curious as always, lol) - basically what makes them, well THEM - continues. Tonight's guest in the WHO ARE YOU? series is Elizabeth Fiorentino Williams. She's agreed to give us a peek into her life. Mackgurl: Good evening, Mrs. Fiorentino Williams. Mrs. Williams: Hahaha! Good evening, Mackgurl. I've known you too long for all that so please, call me Elizabeth. Mackgurl: LOL You're right! Thanks, Elizabeth. My series interviewees have been decidedly male until now, lol. Thanks for shaking things up a bit. Elizabeth: My pleasure. Mackgurl: So, Elizabeth, what do you do? Elizabeth: I help others. I created Naturally Complete of NC (#NCofNC) so I could offer hands-on support to individuals and families looking to make transitions in their life with their health, wellness, weight loss, and/or other areas. I teach classes, workshops, demos, and s...

Hey there folks! So, let's talk about work for a minute. Okay, well not work exactly but let's talk about bosses. Yeah those people who usually get paid the big bucks, have the corner office with the great view and the EA that is harder to get past than a secret service agent? LOL Now some of us have been lucky enough to have really great bosses (I'm not gonna name names - ok initials ALW) but there's probably also been at least one, if you're old enough, that hasn't been so great (am NOT even posting initials...) Just in case you've been blessed and fortunate enough to escape the trials of a not-so-great (AKA HORRIBLE) boss, here are:  10 Signs of a Terrible Boss/Supervisor   Believes the entire world is theirs and you poor schmucks are lucky to be in their presence.  Reminds you daily that you can be replaced  Thrives on setting you up for failure (i.e. giving you tasks that you aren't prepared for)  Pits you and another employee against...
