I think the only way luck plays into ending up in the right employment situation is when you are in the right place to have your skill set or whatever attracted the employer to you noticed.

My boss and I have known each other for over 30 years now going back to high school.  Our lives have criss crossed in many different areas.  The ten years prior to me coming to work for him, he followed what I was doing career-wise and we would talk about eventually working together, but either the timing was wrong for me or him.  He walked into the business I owned about 7 1/2 years ago one day and said: "Let's go to lunch".

The "luck" part in that is that I'd known him and his family for a very long time and when he finally decided he needed job skills and an attitude like mine, I was the first person he thought of.  If my reputation in sales and marketing hadn't been impressive to him, though, no amount of "luck" would have landed me in this position.  That was the years of hard work, determination, and work ethic which really won me the job.

That is what luck is all about.  That combined with the knowing the boss for 30 years is an accident of birth.  You could just as easily have known one (and probably do) who did not start a company, become successful and hire you.  But then, if the "luck" was right, you may have been the one to start the company first, and hire him!

Meh. After replacing Michael Savage with Clark Howard I pretty much have been done with them.

I'll take Clark Howard over Michael Savage any day.   Clark Howard recently arranged to have a Habitat for Humanity house in Tulsa and Joplin.

I'll give him that, but generally I'd rather listen to Fran Drescher with a sinus infection read the encyclopedia than listen to Clark Howard.

I feel that way about Michael Weiner-Savage.

I don't really have a problem with Clark Howard. Just put him on at a different time. Michael Savage definitely has a strong opinion for the right. But he is also entertaining and funny.

By "entertaining and funny" do you mean hate filled raving lunatic?

By "entertaining and funny" do you mean hate filled raving paranoid lunatic?

You left out an adjective.

Marriott - sadness.  I am a member of their "club"...and will be staying in one next week.  Would go to Hyatt instead, but they cost too much for not any more facility.

And the Ritz!!??  This was my next "go to" place for Chicago travel!!  Dam....can't catch a break.  Well, I stayed there once, so I guess that will have to do for my lifetime.... (about $450 per night.  Geez...)
