Some of the local kids (including mine) came around today asking to wash cars for a small sum. The motley collection of kids got together and came with buckets and sponges in hand. Being the easy pushover that I am, I offered to hire them for the job. I put them to work immediately.

It was fun to watch as they fell to and began their chore. They had soap everywhere and had a river of water flowing into the street. I was glad that they were learning the value of working for their money and encouraged them with important tips on car washing. I was glad when they finally finished and I gave them an appropriate fee. They went off to find another pushover and I was glad to see them go!

Recently, I was assigned a major project. I was able to take advantage of a useful tool called PMBOK Templates. They were free and helped me to organize the plans we had made. I also was able to find some useful insight by reading the many articles available. I just wanted to let people know this kind of thing is out there!
