Hamachi, salmon egg, basil, basil flower.

March came roaring in like a lion, 74 degrees and sunny here in Richmond. The other side of the lion will be roaring on Sunday when we get sleet and snow… I guess the lion felt schizophrenic this year? I’m cool with that, the 74 degrees weather is like a delicious Amuse-bouche  I have a taste of summer and that is all I need!

This week I’ve found some great articles and information you might have missed,  check these out:

Is Snooki Pregnant? What it means for her career! - don’t roll your eyes just yet.  This is actually an interesting post that ties it back to working women and single mothers.

Diversify your dreams - ever lie awake at night thinking about that “one thing” you were “meant to do?” This is a good piece about the dangers of introspection,  kind of funny because that is counter-intuitive to what we here a lot of.

Google’s Recruiting Machine – if you don’t read anything else read this one.  Great look inside the machine that gets Google the best talent in Silicon Valley and the world over.

In case you missed my own writings this week check them out:

The WTF Interview

Part 3 of Implementing a TMS System over on the Kapta Systems Blog

Next week I’ll be writing about hard work and dedication,  until then Peace Out!

So this week was pretty normal…I started a new job,  and counseled some friends through a tough job situation…yea the usual week for the me. All joking aside it’s been a good week and I end it with some recommended reMix reading:

Why would anyone leave Google? Actually not too many surprising reasons here: working at a satellite office doesn’t have as much cache, sometimes it’s just time to move on and sometimes you just want to cash out…OK maybe the last one is not something we can relate to.

The main reason Googlers leave

Should you send that email? Ever wonder if people read your email?  You should probably consult this workflow before you send out that six paragraph email explaining the file naming convention on your Sharepoint site:

Should you send that email? 

If you aren’t interested in bonuses or compensation,  read this just because the company name is Wooga, it’s like Wookie, but different:

Wooga,  a case study in no cash bonus culture
