Head to the Tri County Humane Society in Boca Raton. They have just received 47 dogs rescued from a truck in Tennesee. There were 141 in all in filthy conditions.
Now they are all clean and pretty and given the thumbs up from the veterinarian.
So go look for love and help a little rescued dog have a better happier life and so will you.
Here's the story.
Are you miserable?

If you live in MIami you are. According to Forbes, Miami is the most miserable city in the U.S. because we're busy struggling with a horrible housing crisis and unemployment. Detroit and Flint are number two and three as most miserable due in part to the ailing auto industry. The ranking based in part on crime, inflation, foreclosures and home prices.
West Palm Beach came in at 4 and Ft. Lauderdale at 7.

Funny, I don't feel that miserable.
Most annoying jargon

You know those useless over-used phrases at work... like "think outside the box" or "reach out" "giving 110 percent" and "take it to the next level" and "It is what it is." Well they have made the list of most annoying useless business jargon. Actually it's called the "Jargon Madness" bracket by Forbes.
Now you can vote on the one you can't stand the most. Maybe it's "touch base" or "make hay" or "punt."
Check out the list here.
The one phrase I hadn't heard was "open the kimono,' to describe revealing information. That just sounds wrong to me on so many levels. That gets my vote.
Do you have career bliss?

Yes, yes you do. Well you're supposed to. According to CareerBliss, Miami is the Happiest City for workers. The survey is based on compensation, relationships with boss and co-workers, working environment and more.
Miami? Really? Worcester, Massachusettes, Oklahoma City, San Jose and Oxnard round out the top five happiest cities.
The most unhappy: New Haven, CT, Dayton, OH and Milwaukee.

Where do you use your phone?

Survey says... the bathroom. No big surprise given how many apps there are on the cell if you have time to kill. But possibly a little surprising is how many workers use their cells while in the can. Three-fourths of American workers take their phone with them into the bathroom. Yikes.
And most surprising for me, while 92 percent wash their hands after visiting the facility with their cell phones, only 14 percent wash their phones.
