I am obsessed with Showtime's Dexter (and have been increasingly alarmed when my On Demand stopped working and hasn't allowed me to watch season 4. So please, no spoilers).

Some people abhor office dress codes, feeling resentful that they have to go out and buy a closet full of suits. Others don't really mind office dress codes, knowing that at least they won't be stuck staring at their closets bemoaning the fact that they ...

Is it Thanksgiving already? Time just flew by.
No. I'm joking. Most of us haven't been off since, say...the 4th of July.

Anyway, in some of my blogs, I take a seemingly un-HR-related thing or event and explain how it can be used to look at HR. ...

For example, lots of ceramic figurines and doilies: Crazy cat lady.
Beer can collection and posters of John Belushi: Frat boy who never grew up.
Meticulously tidy with surrealistic pictures of nudes: Pretentious art poser. Or serial killer.

I might be past the age where it's appropriate to trick or treat without a small child in tow (which is a shame, really, because in my book, free candy is always a good thing), but that doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to Halloween.

Currently, there is nothing weighing heavier on many Americans' minds (besides, of course, discussing if Kanye West's apology to Taylor Swift was sufficient) than health care.

When I was in elementary school there were two other Jessicas in my class.
Didn't really bother me, because when the teacher called "Jessica" to answer a question, I just pretended it was for one of the other two and continued to hide in the back.
