Business Etiquette

/ CC
I recently read The Essentials of Business Etiquette: How to Greet, Eat, and Tweet Your Way to Success as I felt I needed a refresher on the do’s and don’ts in this digital age. Although I got my first computer in the 3rd grade (my Mac SE still works), the permanency of Facebook, Twitter, and selfies do make me a bit wary of what I share online since the privacy line between personal and professional has blurred so much.

Alot of it was for people just entering the job market or common sense (like “don’t eat messy food during an interview meal” also applies to first dates). The section on Facebook’s privacy settings was useful, albeit a bit outdated since Facebook constantly changes that. The author’s tone was very personable and inviting, given that manners can be a delicate subject. 

MyFitnessPal update

 I've been using MyFitnessPal (MFP) for a few years now and continue to go back to them even after trying others. The iOS app updates have been good, although the website itself is a bit outdated. The mobile app has a useful barcode scan feature and I appreciate the website's ability to automatically detect the ingredients from an online recipe URL.

verdict: opening bag, initial smell was of sushi ginger. had imagined it would taste like wasabi peas but doesn’t. does have some wasabi heat along with ginger sweetness. could see this pairing well with a cold light beer.
