Hey, everyone! Prepare to be less-than-astounded by the quick video below. Circles under your eyes are the newest in fashion, by the way. Be sure to check out the sponsor links below, too.

Sometimes you just have to force yourself to be in a good mood. I don’t know how it all works, but I spend a lot of time being very peppy. As in people-wonder-if-it-is-chemically-related happy. I see it as my job to help others be positive and excited about the day ahead. But sometimes it doesn’t always work. After starting out so well on Tuesday, I spent much of my day in a funk. Why? It’s a lot of things, but none of them were very important. When you’re generally feeling blue, lots of tiny things seem huge at the time. But with a little help, I was able to pull out of the slump and have a pretty good day (a sincere thanks to April and Stephen!). It really did turn into a Tuesday where I kicked some tail.
I’m on Twitter (follow me, if you dare). I mentioned something Tuesday morning about kicking tail during the day, and Stephen quickly threw out the #KickTailTues hashtag. A hashtag is just a word/phrase that people can use to search for things on Twitter. Here is the search page for the #KickTailTues hashtag to see when it’s been used.
This Tuesday, plan on doing something great. And remember, “great” is objective, so it all depends on you. But whatever you do, tell us about it. We’d love to see how you are making things happen in your daily life. And if you need some pepping up or an idea to get you rolling? Hit me up. I’ll be back on track, kicking tail as always.
Update 11/14: Eric has won the free PHR practice exam for giving the best comment. Good luck to everyone who commented!
Just a quick reminder to everyone out there contemplating the PHR or SPHR exam—the test window is closing on November 13th. If you miss the deadline, you will have to wait until mid-2010 to take the exam. I can tell the final registration date is closing in, because I’ve received more than a dozen emails from people looking for support, encouragement, direction, or resources.
Everyone knows that the best PHR study guide was developed right here, but everyone might not know about the free bonus exam that goes along with it (thanks to April for helping!).
I want to hear from people who have taken or who plan to take the exam. Why in the world did you study your tail off just to have the opportunity to add a few letters after your name? Was it for a promotion? Did you want a new job? I’d like to know the motivations behind your attempt at the PHR or SPHR exam. There’s a free 50 question practice exam in it for the best answer I get by November 13th! And remember, the deadline from HRCI is November 13th, so sign up if you plan to take the test.
If you purchase the HRCP study materials and use “UPSTART12″ as your promo code, you will get a $20 discount!
