Are You All "Life Hacked" Out?

washer.jpgWash. Rinse. Repeat.

MyBlogLog has truly validated for me the vast wasteland known as the Internet – especially where the career genre is concerned.  Look, I want to play nice with fellow bloggers because I know that inbound links, approved comments and guest blogging is where it’s at to make a few cents off of your Google AdWords.  But Jesus!  Every Web site has lists and tips.  Will this ever end?

At least I can sleep tonight knowing I’m trying to be original. And tune in tomorrow – for 7 Common Resume Mistakes.  Just kidding.  Or am I?
