I’ve been keeping track of our experiences with recruitment. I’ts fantastic. Nine percent unemployment? Nah, that’s a myth. People are doing just fine. If they weren’t, they’d show up to interviews or something. We also have to move. More on that in a moment…

The next big thing and nervous breakdowns
May 19, 2011
0 Comments
In order to avoid simultaneous nervous breakdowns, we went to the beach last week. For my wife, it was necessary because she’s with two very needy little boys all day long. Both are perfect, or as close to perfect as they can get at their ages in my view, but let’s face it — there’s [...]

I’ve been on a little bit of a blogging hiatus, but I think — I think – I now have a little bit of time to update this thing once in a while. Hopefully with relevant, useful and even funny content. I know, I know. I’ve made promises before. I bet if I looked (and [...]

Anyone here a fan of “Band of Brothers?” Remember the episode called “Replacements?” Sometimes I feel like one of the veterans in Easy Company trying to train the FNGs (Effing New Guys) in the real ways of war. It’s never really been that much of a problem, but as My Truck Buddy grows, I have [...]

I declared Mystic Monk to be the official coffee of MTB, but one of my Facebook buddies wanted to know the really important thing: what’s our official beer? Good question. Discuss here.

Yeah, November. How did that happen? About 11 months ago I was furiously working on an “MTB Expansion Plan” in my office at my last job. And then there was this hot, bright flash which turned out to be summer. And then one day it was gone, and I had to put long pants on [...]

If it’s not one thing, it’s another… So, this summer I relied heavily on positive reviews on Yelp.com. At the high point, I had FIFTEEN five-star reviews. Not just “He’s helpful,” but full-on, here’s-a-story-of-why-MTB-is-awesome kind of reviews. In all humility, we rocked the moving industry with our kick-ass customer service. Pride goeth before the fall, [...]

Heh. I’ve been saying that since before some of you were born. Seriously, though, what’s stopping me? In a few weeks, it certainly won’t be MyTruckBuddy.com. August was our biggest month ever, and September wasn’t far behind. But here we are into the first week of October, and there are already signs of it becoming [...]

Anyone read this yet? It could be a life-changer, but I’m reserving my final impressions for the period AFTER the euphoric discovery phase. You know how it is — you come across some new book/CD/system that makes you see things in a new way, and you just know that This is the thing I’ve been [...]
