Thursday’s Tricky Trivia Winner:
Shucks. Unfortunately, nobody got the answer right for Tom’s question, which means it must have been pretty tricky! Good job Tom! You’ve stumped us!
So for this particular question, instead of posting the answer, we’re going to save it for later and possibly for a bigger, better prize.
Thanks for all those who participated.
Make sure you check back with us next Thursday for a new question- a not so tricky question!

QUIZ: “How would you handle these business situations?”
For fun this morning I took the “How would you handle these business situations?” quiz on LearnKey’s website and I nailed it! Well to be honest, I nailed it all, minus one question- #4.
The question asks this:
You get a promotion! Good for you. But now you have to try and manage former friends who think they can take advantage of you. How do you deal with this?
a) You should be there for your friends. You would expect the same treatment if the situation was reversed.
b) Let your friends know that you can be friends when you are off the clock, but during company time you have no friends.
c) Talk to your friends. Let them know you are committed to your friendship and part of that commitment includes helping them keep job and commitments and responsibilities so they too can be promoted, or at least not fired when you get transferred.
d) Fire them. This will serve as a good example that you should be respected and feared. Besides they have served their purpose, and it’s time for you to make new friends anyway.
Which one do you think it is?

Help Wanted: Hackers
This morning I read an interesting article that had much to do with what’s going on in our production studio. As mentioned in a previous post, we are currently filming the CCNA Security training featuring Tom Carpenter and this article, titled Help Wanted: Hackers, written by Annie Fisher with CNNMoney.com, couldn’t have fit more perfectly for this entry.

Excel 2010- Michael Meskers
As I type this entry, Author and Trainer Michael Meskers is in our production studio wrapping up this week’s filming of LearnKey’s Excel 2010 training.
I’ve been popping in and out of the shoot this past week and can’t tell you how eager I am for this product to be released (I’m going to be taking the training myself). Not only has Michael been exciting and interesting to watch and listen to, he does an incredible job of teaching everything, and I mean everything, there is to know about Excel.
During a quick break of the filming today, I ran back into the control room and asked Michael to give us (fellow blog readers) a brief thought on the new Excel 2010. Here’s what he had to say…
My Money Plan
Nearly two months ago, I ran into some serious financial problems. I’ll avoid telling the specifics as I realize I’m not the only going through this and you all have your own problems, but it is important to know that my situation is difficult and seems almost impossible to recover from. In my life thus far, I’ve really never had to worry about financial stress… until now. And let me tell you, it was not a pretty sight! It hit me like a ton of bricks!
For days and days, I researched on the Internet hoping to find advice on how to solve this particular problem. After reading countless blogs and articles, I was left feeling even more tired and hopeless than before. It was inevitable- I was doomed!
