It is the 2nd day of spring, it is still a bit chilly up here in NH but it is not snowing so that is good. Tomorrow, we are going to Boston to the Food Show at the Boston Expo Center, that should be fun.
Work is going well, the renovations are going along fine, I will be happy when it is over, yesterday I was interviewed for the paper, I hope I did not sound stupid or anything one of my biggest fears is to sound dumb.
On Thursday, we went to Manchester, NH to the Women in the Workplace Conference "WOW", it was wonderful, we heard some wonderful speakers and learned alot of what people are thinking out there in this economy, different ideas for your business. All the women were wonderful, and networked, came up to give you their ideas, it was kind of nice being surrounded by about 100 professional women, all wanting to help the other woman.
All the speakers had incredible stories and were amazing, Stephanie the GM of the Manchester Wolverines, can you believe the General Manager is a woman in a man's sport? Debra Titus works for Dale Carnegie, Tina Editor of the Mirror, Tammy PR,
Kathleen Peterson from Powerhouse Consulting. Give these women a hand they were wonderful, and it was interesting, fun and educational thank you for your time.
Being a woman in a man's business is hard, and we have come along way from when I started in the Hospitality Business, but if you look at the Board member's of major hotel companies who are on the boards? MEN. AIG- who got the bonuses mostly men or women?
Speaking of AIG, when is Chris Dodd and Barney Frank going to be voted out of office? I think a special elections should come back for their stupidity alone, or can we just "fire them", "lay them off" so they can live like the rest of us, who lost our jobs and even after finding one, still trying to put my life back on track and paying old bills to catch up from being out of work for 4 and 1/2 months.
Just my opinion.
