In today's economy, how many people can say, "I love my job!" and mean it? I do! I get to meet and work with people from around the world, and I learn something new every day. I look forward to waking up every morning and I'm excited to get to work. I love my job. Do you? Thank you for reading my bl ...
Last week I received an email from Neil Asher in which he included a link to a free Elance E-book. This free e-book has been written for people who want to outsource but it is also a good read for freelance writers who use Elance as a means of getting freelance writing jobs.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit yesterday issued its opinion in Scroggin v. Wyeth, et al. The opinion is overwhelmingly positive for women and their families who have been injured by the hormone therapy. Donna Scroggins, like many women who took hormone therapy, suffered fr ...
