Random Watercooler Thoughts & Stuff

I’m going to let you in on a little secret, its a little stupid, but hey if you’ve made it to this page and are reading these words then its not that big a deal. So yeah, the secret is that I would probably post more on my blog if I didn’t have to come up with a customized image for each posting.

See… I told you it was stupid.

Today’s post, (and so soon since your last one too taji) is a bunch of brain farts and things that I wanted to put out there and discuss with my readers.. or myself, out loud.

How Not To Be An Idiot

How Not To Be An Idiot

So Its been almost 6 months since I’ve written anything for The Voice Emporium and for my regular readers I apologize. The truth is that in some cases there was not much to report about and in others I was extremely busy.

As most of you have already forgotten I am not a full time Voiceover artist, though that is the goal, the dream, the target, which means that for around 8 hours everyday for 5 days a week I am not available to record or write for my blog or do much in the voiceover-verse. I was given a promotion and handed 23 people and a company to manage and that has meant longer hours at work and many sleepless nights trying to figure out solutions for problems that I never knew I would ever be involved in.

Time To Man Up

Time To Man Up

Sometimes I make an effort to come up with a subject to write about on Taji’s Voice Emporium, and sometimes stuff happens that needs to be shared.

Today I learnt a business lesson the hard way. I broke all the usual rules to please a client and ended up putting myself  between a rock and a hard place.

Mottoes to live by

  1. Don’t Assume anything… assuming makes an ASS out of ME and U.
  2. CYA – Cover Your Ass
  3. When the time comes to do the right thing… Man Up

Pointing Fingers

In business they always tell you that Pointing fingers is a waste of time because by the time you reach the point where you have to point fingers then a disaster has already happened.

Except that pointing fingers is a good way to figure out where the problem happened and at what point in the business process it happened. Pointing fingers is not only something that happens between people but something that you can practice on yourself to audit your business.
