Is Good Enough Good Enough?
At one of the company’s I worked at we had a Quality Assurance engineer. I had helped him get on-line (this was back when everything was dial-up) and on the personal information screen for AOL, he had written the quote “Good enough never is.” I chuckled about it and told him I thought it was funny. The look he returned told me instantly that it wasn’t a joke. He really felt that way. I figured that if you were in QA then you probably did need to think that way. Read more »

Easy Credit Terms Available
I’ve been going through my credit report and closing the accounts that I no longer use.
