It’s raining today, but tomorrow…

Posted on August 9, 2020 by kirkhazlett

There’s something to be said about life in “paradise”… “Be careful what you wish for.” We made the transition from many, many years in Massachusetts, with a brief respite in Hawaii, to Florida hell-bent on getting away from frigid winters … Continue reading →

Frustration…It Happens

Posted on August 19, 2019 by kirkhazlett

It’s easy to say to someone, “Be patient. Things will get better.” It’s a whole ‘nother thing when you, yourself, are faced with a situation…or a series of situations…where things just don’t go “right.” The people you’re dealing with seem … Continue reading →

I Absolutely LOVE Learning!

Posted on August 1, 2019 by kirkhazlett

This “revelation” comes as no surprise to any of you who have subjected yourselves to my musings over the years. Learning, to me, is a passion. Whether it be, as a toddler, sticking a metal nail file into a wall … Continue reading →

Just Another Day…

Posted on July 22, 2019 by kirkhazlett

Hate to be a downer here, but I do not like summers. Or at least I haven’t liked them since I transitioned from PR professional to PR professor to “retired…” It hasn’t been easy…not that I’ve actually spent much time, … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “I’m Ba-aack!”

Posted on January 12, 2019 by kirkhazlett

For those of you who have paid attention, I have been “MIA” for several months now. Nothing unusual (sort of) going on…just haven’t updated this blog for a while. But, as you know if you’re reading this and to borrow … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Just Do It”

Posted on July 20, 2018 by kirkhazlett

I used those three words… “Just Do It™”…in my last post with a tip of the literary hat to Nike for beating me to the punch. But this week’s activities have really driven home the true meaning of the saying. … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “I’m a Vampire!”

Posted on June 11, 2018 by kirkhazlett

The past month was hands-down the loonngggest month I’ve endured in my entire life. Margaret (my wife) had cataract surgery on both eyes, and I voluntarily put all my own activities (PRSA Tampa Bay in particular) on hold so that … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “What’s Next?”

Posted on January 30, 2018 by kirkhazlett

One of the hallmarks of my own professional life has been a never-changing “itch” to try something new or different. Even while in high school and college, I dabbled in jobs like grocery store bagboy, bartender, poolroom manager, highway department … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Finding Inspiration”

Posted on November 28, 2017 by kirkhazlett

I’ve been in something of a creative slump these past few months. Lots of stuff going on, but no “spark”…no inspirational jumpstart. Part of the problem lies in my still-developing “retirement” mode. While I’ve merrily embraced the “sleep in until … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “I’m a ‘Vampire’”

Posted on July 10, 2017 by kirkhazlett

Now that I’ve got your attention…lemme ’splain (as Ricky Ricardo so often said to Lucy). I talk and write about the fact that I’m an introvert. And yet, ironically, I have a burning need to be around people. My Curry … Continue reading →
