Oh, in that case, GM, don’t worry about it. Thanks for the apology! Because that what helps companies survive right? Apologies?
This post is part 2 of a 5 part series on my “Hedgehog Concept.” Previously I discussed my thoughts and what I felt characterized my more positive attributes. I recommend reading my findings and then striving to determine your own Hedgehog Concept.
Looking back at my analysis and knowing what I know now (about how people see me) I

As a follow up to this post (and this article) my brother has created, by far, the best MySpace profile out there (http://www.myspace.com/deoderizer). I hope ‘Right’ starts sending me ads and coupons soon! Maybe he’ll even fill out my ‘ten things’ bulletin!

The first two people to use this link will be able to register a claimID beta account. It’s sorta dumb but sorta useful. I’ll play with it a bit more. At first glance, it does little more than my About page.. but I realize not everyone out there has an About page.
I nearly forgot I had written about my secrets to exam success: Studying for Tests. If you initially doubted me, that’s fine, I would be hesitant too. Let me assure you I received very high A’s on both accounting tests the second time around. As mentioned, take the first test and set the pace for the rest of the semester… do yourself a favor and focus on all those other important things during your extra time. That’s what I do!
