Preparing for Spring’s Surprises

Spring is just around the corner. Thank goodness! We’ve all been subject to our challenges this winter with extreme cold, above average snowfall, and icy roads. However, there IS light at the end of the tunnel. This past weekend was “Spring Forward” for those areas observing daylight savings time.

With spring upon us, we will be able to enjoy longer days, warmer weather and the sights and sounds of spring. Along with the joys and wonders of this new season come new challenges, including tornados, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

The Stress of Being a Contract Employee

“Oh my gosh, my contract is over in less then a week and I do not have another job lined up yet! Every time I turn on the TV I hear how the economy is not getting any better. I have a ton of bills to pay and I can’t afford to be off work for who knows how long.”

Is there anything that you can do to help your odds of getting another contract quickly? The answer is YES!

It hits around the same time every year. The buzz of the holiday season is behind us, the days are shorter, the weather colder, and many people start to experience changes in their mood, behavior, and overall demeanor. These symptoms are usually associated with the “winter blues” and may be an actual medical condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Tax Season is Upon Us

Tax season is right around the corner and its time to start preparing! Here are some general rules to follow that will make the tax season easier on the nerves.

Keep your paperwork together
Even if you are preparing your own taxes, in most cases you will need to have some paperwork to accompany your filing. Some people keep paperwork in a shoe box and other have an organized file. No matter your method, keep your paperwork!

Keeping Healthy Through the Winter

Many of us make New Year’s Resolutions each year, and even more of us break them the first month. This year, let’s change it up – let’s make a goal to stay healthy during the cold/flu season. With all of the viruses and germs being passed around, it can be hard to avoid those nasty bugs. But it can be done. Even though we are all in the medical field, we sometimes forget that even the simplest things can keep us virus free.
