Business Wife & Life

I’m bringing this blog back to life for several reasons.

1) I have a lot of things to get off of my chest, and I need a place to do it.

2) I feel odd not having a personal blog. After all, I consult with businesses on blogging practices and such- it would make sense for me to have one for myself; even if it’s not updated as frequently as I would like.

So here I am. The same person, but I am at a different point in my life. I’m not just a wife anymore, now I am a mom, but BusinessWifeMomandLife just isn’t catchy so I’ll leave the title “as is”. I’m involved in new ventures and I’m constantly learning new things, so I’m sure I’ll have a lot to blog about…when I have time that is.

So let’s dust this old domain off and get back to business!

Warning….rant ahead.

I just can’t hold it in any longer.

I am sick of all these stupid job titles.

Web 2.0 has brought a lot jobs, but with them has come the silliness.

What the heck?

Yes, when there’s a new job you have to create a title that fits, but some of these titles are taking it a little too far.

I’m all for creativity but there’s a hint of self importance that irks me. And sometimes it’s just plain silly.

What if you have to go back to work at a more traditional firm. What are you going to put on your resume? Good luck trying to network with some Corporate America Head Honcho when your job title sounds just as ridiculous as President of Donut Consumption.

What do you think about these web 2.0 job titles? Do you have one yourself?

I hate cooking, and as indicated by my chili fiasco , I’m not too great at it.

However I have improved in the past year and I think I owe it all to my mother for buying me a slow cooker.

There are so many wonderful things I can make and they aren’t plain and boring like veggie stew or other things that come to mind when you hear “crock pot”.

My current favorites are chicken parmesan and enchiladas.

The best part is that I whip everything together in the morning before I start working, or in the afternoon when I take a break so that my work flow doesn’t get interrupted just because I get a call that says “I’m on my way home.”

I’m still no Rachael Ray but my slow cooker sure does make my life easier.
