I'm a huge coffee drinker- but since caffeine has really lost its effect on me (3 espressos later and I'm still wiped), I'm trying to cut down on my intake. Which means that the last week my productivity has been fairly low. Anyone else decide to cut caffeine out? Was it a good choice? Or is anyone an avid caffeine junkie?

Does anyone here invest in stocks?
Erin Murtagh:
@Kim-there probably is an option through my employer, but I just opened a Sharebuilder account through ING. I have a 401K through my job.

i have an english education degree with a background in corporate cube life. how do make the switch to PR?
Elizabeth Clawson:
I agree with Ceci! If you familiarize yourself with PitchEngine or other free PR tools, you could really help NPs that don't have PR shops.
