Forget Donald Trump! It's Personal And It's Still Business!
If you have watched the reality TV show by Donald Trump, The Apprentice, you will agree with me that Trump is one of the best businessmen in the world today. From the way he arrives at decisions as to who goes up the suite and who takes the elevator, to his vast business interests, Trump comes across as the archetypical shrewd businessman of o

Writing a Website That Sings!
If your online sales have taken a dip lately, your product or service isn't necessarily to blame. Even the best products and services can be hidden in obscurity when covered by a blanket of bad website copy. So what can you do to make sure your copy sings the praises of not only your product, but your business smarts and credibility as well?for…?

Switching gears: With rising real estate prices, renters have been facing spikes in rent and shrinking vacancy rates. It’s difficult for the average renter to afford to live on their own without making drastic lifestyle changes. One bedroom is now two, two is three, with privacy being cast aside. This is the new reality in Vancouver, as condos shrink --- number of occupants increase.

I too began to feel the rent pinch and recently allowed a friend of several years, Bob (named changed), to move in on a temporary basis. At first, the perfect arrangement, opposite work schedules (except for weekends), meant: we were never home at the same time.

Was an opportunity dropping on my lap? A roommate could fund a vacation. Go brain calculator: six months x say, five bills = sunshine. Slow down big boy --- you’d be letting someone in --- into the inner sanctum.

Downsides?

Downsides?

I’m over twenty-five, and past that age --- *roommates, are a ridiculous idea. Okay, thirty, because of inflation. Thirty-five, because it’s Vancouver. After that…

Problems: Accepting other peoples habits. First weekend, my flat-mate crashed for 24 consecutive hours. It freaked me out. When questioned? “I work hard and my body shuts down?”

Five bills led me to justification. Can you evict someone for sleeping?

Second weekend, 84 out of 92 hours of downtime. My cat became angst ridden. I thought of setting up: Dead Guy Cam, sort of along the lines of: Eagle Cam.

When confronted, “I suffer from bouts of depression.” A slight oversight on my nonexistent rent application.

I justified: five bills = white sands.

The following weekend he stayed mostly upright, a positive turn? Until I came home one day and someone had been “entertaining” in my bed. Gross. And, an incredibly well hidden stash of cash, had been violated. White sands will have to wait. Evicti
