Don’t forget, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on November 1. Set those clocks back an hour and get some more sleep (or party longer at those Halloween parties)!

Training Day 2009
Posted in Credit Union with tags annual training day on October 14, 2009 by Lori
So Training Day has come and gone. We’ve gotten a lot of great responses from the staff (which filled our buckets).
My favorite part was the Branding portion…um, just kidding. Really, my favorite part was the last presentation on How Full is Your Bucket. And in particular, the stats on the Korean war – wow! To die of a negative ambiance…there’s one I’d never heard of before. But it makes sense.
I never knew how much more room for positivity I had. Gave me something to think about – as I’m sure many of you can concur.
Any particular moments that stand out from that day that you’d like to share? What was your favorite part? Least favorite part? Anything that hit home for you?
Sound off!
Do you hide behind your computer?

I can say whatever I want because they know me as "coolguy88".
So it’s recently occurred to me (after spending countless hours online) that people seem to get bolder and act differently when they’re using an alias online.
For example, you’re more apt to call someone out if you strongly disagree with someone online by merely typing in a response on an Internet message board. Or, you might fulfill your fantasy by posing as a famous actor to try to get the girl of your dreams to notice you (OK so this really didn’t happen but I’m working on the screenplay).
But why? Why do we get bolder behind a screen name? Why does having a different name and complete anonymity make us speak our minds? Is it fear? Fear of what?
