Stephen Harris' Apprentice Views - Someone will be FIRED




You're Hired! The Apprentice is more than just a television show, it's well -- nothing personal, just business.

What can we learn from the Apprentice? Is it just TV or is there some reality in it as well? I believe that it is a game, and also serious business. It also requires a rare blend of team strategy, while attempting to be a cut-throat leader. I enjoy the Apprentice and am a "Donald" fan. However at times I might be critical of "The Donald" in this Blog.

And I know many of you enjoy the show as well. So read along - add your comments and let's see if we can figure out who will be "fired" - and who will be "hired" as the Apprentice!

Yahoo and donations - my final rant!

OK I have to get this off my chest as I climb upon the virtual soap box:

I realized after the Trump's Apprentice ended that no one that attended the Yahoo party contributed even a penny. There was many weeks or months between the event and the finale and none of - as Yahoo stated Big spenders - even contributed a dime. That is shameful. Shameful!

Hopefully those that attended this Yahoo event as carried on National TV now reach into their pockets and make a donation. Do it Now!

The Yahoo exec at the finale had to make a donation on live tv. I am sure it was a decision made once he heard that no one contributed. I am glad he stepped up. I hope he gathers up the Yahoo execs that represented this event and teaches them something about giving back and humility. What makes these execs so high and mighty. If it was me, I would be all about the charity. What better way to enhance the Yahoo (or any brand) name. Fancy drinks and blinking ice cubes is very shallow. BUT to say that this nights event is both a thank you for your business and an awareness of a noble cause - that is classy!  AND c'mon Yahoo, you know you were going to be on national TV on a very well rated show. STUPID and short sided. OK I am going to say it,,,  damn it  FIRE those execs for thier stupidity and short sidedness. Such a dumb egotistical way to be...  argghhhhh.

So it is my hope that the Yahoo execs on the show (from their severance checks) and those in attendance all reach into their pockets and make a donation. Do  it now cause it is the right thing for you to do - better late than never. I just wrote my check!!! Yes I did.

To make a donation: http://www.autismspeaks.org/donate/index.php

ok off the soap box I go...  g'night and happy holidays to y'all ... and to all.. a good night..  Hi Ho Silver away... er  Blitzen   er Rudolph  ok James... floor it!
