What is the best piece of constructive criticism you got as a young person?
Most of us when we were younger (and possibly still!) weren’t too thrilled to receive any constructive criticism, but was there a time as a young person when you received some that you can now recall as the best you ever received? I was barely 21, doing an internship at a clothing manufacturer in Brockton as a computer programmer. My boss was a young soft-spoken man whom I had grown to respect and was hoping to get a permanent position from when I graduated.

What is a messy area of your home, workplace or life?
Home. Workplace. Life. Is there a place you are messy in each? Or maybe just one. Or are you not messy anywhere? Messy areas…..hmmmmm. As I look back over my life, I realize that I’ve been many different types of housekeepers. There were many years that I lived in a house that would have raised a few eyebrows – clutter filled, messy with a capital “M”. The older I get, the more that clutter messes with ME, and gets under my skin you might say. So, I have tried to get much better about clutter. However, I have to say that a messy area of my life that I…
