Google’s recent design changes to the Google Drive / Docs / Sheets have generally made each product more difficult to use. Now they have added insult to injury with the rebranding of Google Apps to G Suite. Google Apps is a great name that specifies exactly what the product does – provide apps for your business.… read more “G Suite Rebrand is Ridiculous”

7 Years
Coalition has been in business for over 7 years now and tonight I am taking the team out to happy hour to celebrate. Building this company has been the largest project of my life so far. I work on it most days including weekends. Lots of days I put in 11-14 hours. I have dealt with many nightmares (lawsuits, bad employees, bad clients), as well as celebrated many successes (over 70 full time team members now, romylms.com… read more “7 Years”
Makeup is Sexist
I saw a photo of a female CEO in the news today and she looked like a clown. Bright red lips, purple eye makeup. The weird thing is I just thought that was normal at first till I thought about it more.
Half our population is expected to cover their faces in pastes and ooze and powder, supposedly so that they can appear more attractive to the other half.… read more “Makeup is Sexist”
Chile Lime Watermelon
Laurel came up with an amazing dish for me I have been eating every weekend for a weeks now. It is simply watermelon chopped up into pieces with Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend sprinkled on top. So tasty!
Everyone is crazy
I have been dealing with a lot of crazy people lately. Family members who won’t join on a family reunion visit, clients who have had epic returns wanting to cancel, etc. Gets frustrating.
TimeDoctor to QBO Time Tracker Importer
I spent a good amount of time last weekend and a few hours yesterday building a tool that automatically imports TimeDoctor worklogs and parses them into Quickbooks Online Time Tracker. My team seems pretty happy to have a tool to do this as it eliminates the redundancies of entering time in both systems. Nice win!
Knee
I have taken a week off of running so far due to the knee pain I have had. I think it is an IT band issue. May need another week or two off. I am still climbing pretty tough though as that seems to put a bit less stress on the knee.
Leaving Wells Fargo
As the CEO of a much smaller business, I completely agree that the management team of Wells Fargo is guilty of creating the policies that led to this widespread scamming of customers. As a Wells Fargo business customer, I also experienced their reps trying to push sketchy accounts and sales on me. I would love to switch banks, but we have hundreds of outside accounts (customers, employees, vendors, other accounts payable) linked in to Wells Fargo.… read more “Leaving Wells Fargo”
Knee Pain
I have had some pain in the outside of my right knee for a few weeks now. It got especially bad over the weekend, so I have stopped running for now. I am hoping it is just an IT band issue that with some rest and added stretching / strengthening gets better. Did some research on it and have been doing some little strengthening things.
Football Viewing
Football viewing is much better done at home on a big screen than in person where you can’t see anything and don’t have instant replay or good snacks or comfort.
