New Blogger, Lawsuit, Dealing with Change and Odd Jobs

I have a couple of pretty cool notes to get you started on this Wednesday morning.

First, Miss Georgia Leah Massee has joined our list of bloggers.  She’ll be writing about her experiences over the next year, wearing the Miss Georgia crown.

On an unrelated note, I read a very thought-provoking book at my girlfriend’s apartment the other night.  It’s called Who Moved My Cheese?.  It’s an interesting little story about change and how people adapt to change.  The story was particularly interesting to me, as the journalism industry is going through some fairly significant changes lately.  The book also provides a fresh perspective on a lot of life’s changes, and how we deal.  It’s an easy, two hour read.

Then there’s this story, which is generating a lot of buzz around town:

Suit Claims Bill Heard Recall Unfair and Deceptive
A Columbus-based automobile dealer has come under fire, accused of unfair and deceptive practices.

Finally, our media partners down at the Dothan Eagle have started up a new series of reports called Odd Jobs.  So far, the reports are a pretty interesting look at some people who’s jobs are… well… odd.

Do you have an odd job?  Leave a comment and I’ll be sure the folks at the Dothan Eagle get your suggestions.
