    ByBlazers and Baby July 16, 2019

    You know the drill. You’re at a meeting and everyone else just assumes you’ll take notes. You’re asked to arrange lunch for a team meeting.

    ByBlazers and Baby August 31, 2018

    “You snooze, you lose.” My favourite analogy when it comes to staying abreast of developments in industry is Nokia. Remember those guys? Remember how they dominated the cellphone market? You know what, forget Nokia. What about Blackberry? Remember how Blackberries ruled the world and it seemed like no one would ever topple their reign? And…
