I hate dandelions

I hate dandelions. Hate 'em. Hate 'em. Hate 'em.

I wish that my neighbors would do a better job of keeping their dandelions under control. I swear, some of them don't even seem to mow their lawns at all. Ugh.

I hate using chemicals against them, and I also hate the tedium of pulling them up. Yeargh. Ugh. Blechh.

MFA: The New MBA

Creative skills are vastly underrated in many business circles. That's why I was pleased to see this podcast that said, "The MFA is the New MBA."

The thing is, you need creativity in the workplace. This is even true of technical types like scientists, engineers, and programmers. That's just the way it is. They might need to develop marketing materials, for example, or a clever way of presenting their ideas. Or maybe even a creative technical solution or business strategy.
