Who has the most irritating driving habits, men or women<\/a>? I don’t think this question has an answer but found the comments section funny.<\/p>\n

The other Russell Shaw<\/a>. Actually, there are several. This one I’ve been in touch with several times over the past few years, as people sometimes send him an \"Familyemail in an attempt to reach me. Russell always forwards them to me. He is (in addition to being a very<\/u> nice and very<\/u> bright
\nguy) a VERY prolific blogger. And until now he had not been blogging about real estate. He is now<\/a>. As much as I might like to take credit for some of the insightful things he writes, I don’t want to risk getting caught – so I wanted to point out that I am not “that Russell Shaw”. In the past it was Russell the blogger and Russell the Realtor. The line became blurred once I joined BloodhoundBlog and now the distinction of “the one who blogs about real estate” just went away too.<\/p>\n

He damn sure better not move from Portland to Phoenix and go into the residential real estate sales business – because then we are<\/em> going to have trouble. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Years ago I read a book (now out of print) called the Robert Half Way To Get Hired in Today’s Job Market. Robert Half<\/a> had and has one of the largest employment agencies in the world. As I’ve always considered the process of me “getting a listing” me applying for a job – I got a lot out of it. About two years ago I happened to run across this website<\/a> and was very impressed. His name is Nick Corcodilos. He has a free weekly email newsletter where he responds to letters from people looking for jobs. Lots of smart employers and business people read it regularly. There isn’t something I can use in every issue but there is often enough to make it worth my time.<\/p>\n
