Familiar site in NYC
If you’ve ever lived in New York city you’ll be familiar with the concierge/doorman service in many buildings.
These exist for not only businesses but for many of the upscale high-rises in mid-town and the upper west and east sides of Manhattan.
Doormen are well-paid
These doormen (and they usually are men) pull in a decent salary and many of them pull down six figures depending on their role and seniority.
I recently got a call from someone at a company called Virtual Video Services and what they do is offer the same benefit of accepting packages, letting people in or preventing unwanted people from getting in, all… Continue reading
Productivity tips right under your nose
I often help my mother navigate and use very basic (to me) computer technology. As great as the technology for cutting and pasting is, it’s a pain to highlight, right-click, select ‘cut’, then place the cursor where you want, right-click and then select ‘paste’.

Then there was that drunken public urination (all over someone’s windscreen with people in the car),… Continue Reading

Fake it till you make it
Everyone faces times when they feel like a fraud; some people live their entire lives with that feeling. Many artists confess to this, especially writers. David Duchovny’s character in Californication proclaims that he’s a writer that doesn’t write. Boy I can relate to that. Interestingly enough, sometimes this feeling persists despite all of the evidence… Continue Reading
