One of the aspects of life that irritates me extremely much is when leaders fail to lead.  For me it is even more disheartening when those leaders are elected by people to represent them and to lead in specific areas.  I view it as a great disservice to both the organization, and more importantly, to [...]

Today I did something that I don’t believe I have ever done in my years of working, I took a 2-hour snow delay.  Our local school system called a 2-hour delay because of the heavy, wet snow that we received last night and the impact it had on our roads.  When I heard that the [...]
