Has your office’s e-mail system ever gone down? Remember that panic you felt? That feeling of helplessness? Today, conducting business without the luxury of e-mail is unthinkable - downright prehistoric. It’s become an indispensable business tool, yet many people don’t treat it with the gravity it deserves. Far too often, professionals fire off half-formed thoughts or messages rife with errors.
Of the many mistakes made via e-mail every day, here are the Top 10 according to AllBusiness.com:

The holiday season is upon us and everyone is bustling to finish their Christmas shopping. If the task of buying gifts for corporate friends, colleagues, clients, vendors or co-workers has fallen on your list of things to do before Dec. 25, then you’re in luck! We’ve got some fabulous ideas that are sure to make you or your business a hit this holiday season.
For your co-workers try: (6) 8 cookies from flourpot cookies, (7) The Keep Calm and Carry on tote bag from Decorative Things, (1) personal desktop speakers from the Container Store, (8) these groovy notepads from Rusell and Hazel or (3) the Tazo Gift Set from Starbucks.
For your boss and clients, these gifts are sure to impress: (10) a functional piece of art — the Michael Aram cheese board from Williams and Sonoma, (2) a basket of gourmet goodies appropriately titled the best of Dean and DeLuca, (11) exotic truffles from Vosges Haut at Saks, or (4) delicious chocolate-covered, Christmas-themed strawberries from Shari Bari’s or membership to a wine of the month club courtesy of the Wine Cellar.
Finally, a great gift for anyone philanthropic in your life is a donation in their name to a great cause — two of my favorite charities are (5) St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and (9) Heifer International. Donations can be made on both of their websites and it’s a great Christmas gift for the person that has everything!
Happy holidays and peace to everyone in the new year!
My introduction into the world of BBR Creative started with a bang. Or, more accurately, with a bash. It all began in 2007, back when I worked as a feature writer (though I called myself the features editor) for a local newspaper and entertainment magazine. There, nestled all snugly in the print media’s nurturing arms, I wrote a weekly humor column that resonated strongly with:
1. 20-something slackers and…
2. Moms who usually recognized me at the grocery store
One sleepy afternoon in the newsroom, I figured it might be in my best interest to check my mailbox. Good thing I did, because packed amidst low-fi band demos and event listings for The XXth Annual X Festival, I received a curious invitation to something called the BBR Beer Bash. The invite’s contents included one admittance pass along with a poster designed especially for this particular event. (That poster, for the record, instantly became my most prized cubicle decoration — right next to a lonely plastic Spider-Man figurine usually set up in a compromising pose.)
“You have got to go to this thing,” said my then-editor, one Mrs. Jan Risher. “I know the BBR partners and … just trust me on this one.”
