]]> Lately I’ve been feeling less than powerful in the workplace, so as  I walked by the new bookshelf, POWER: Why some People Have It–And Others Don’t  by Jeffrey Pfeffer practically leapt off the shelf into my hand. The bad part is that by page 4, I already understood why I don’t have any. Now I’m afraid to continue, it can only get worst. Saved by an Interlibrary Library Loan request for the book and I gave it up for another reader.

Finished Fray by Joss Whedon, and it’s good to know we’re going to be saved from demons in the future by another Slayer. Whedon uses the same snarky dialogue to move Melaka Fray through her initiation into slayerhood. Karl Moline is the gifted artist giving us  a flatter chested, kick butt female heroine.  I found her definitely likeable.

I don’t know about you but this whole Columbus Day thing isn’t very exciting when you’re at work.  Give the Huffington Post a read about why  we shouldn’t give Old Christopher the day anyway.
