Greetings future business leaders of America! What would you say if I told you that I knew a way you could double your income, increase your benefits and add precious dollars to your retirement fund? Now what if I told you that you could do all of it without leaving your current job? I bet you'd think I'm crazy right? Well I am crazy, crazy about dating!

Dating is a wonderful networking opportunity available to all business people. It's fun, it's easy and everyones doing it. If you stick with it long enough to get married, it can lead to all of the perks listed above.

This week's column is about letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation are important in all aspects of business, but especially in relationships. It's called a relationship for a reason. Being in a relationship is kind of like being on a boat. You wouldn't take someone for a pleasure cruise on your yacht without knowing a little something about them first, right? Of course not!

Jesus! Is it May Already? Kelly is gonna be so mad. I wonder if she's realized yet. Oh man, Valentine's Day was 14 weeks ago. I can't believe I forgot again.

I don't think she gave me anything either. Maybe I can turn this around. I can make her look like the bad guy. I'll march right into her apartment tonight and say "I can't believe you didn't get me anything for Valentine's Day!" She'll never even see it coming. She'll feel terrible. I may even get a BJ out of it.

She did buy me that A-Team DVD set back in February. That may have been for Valentine's Day. Man, that seems like it was forever ago.
