“New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.”
— James Agate
Here we go for another year and your connection with this network. That connection requires your involvement and participation. This is the award-winning free Job of the Week e-mail networking newsletter for professional communicators, dedicated to the positive unanticipated consequences of networking. JOTW is a cooperative service that relies on the contributions of its members, like you. We share job opportunities, news and information about the job market, as well as swapping stories about life's peculiarities. We connect you with others who are like you, and together we help each other. What a concept.
Will JOTW get you a new job in this new year? Maybe. What is certain is the fact that some of you will have a life-changing experience because of this newsletter and this network. We just don’t know who it will be, but it might be you. Or you might contribute the opportunity that change everything for someone else. Who knows?
How does it work? First of all, it doesn't cost you a cent. If you find out about a job opportunity in communications, send it to me (lundquist989@cs.com), and I'll share it with the JOTW network. It's that simple. And we share dozens of opportunities each week. Did I mention it was free? Your friends can sign up by sending a blank e-mail

Shonali Burke turned me on to Groupon, and I heard about it on the Area 224 site. I had to check it out. Each day Groupon tells you about something cool to do, see, buy, or eat at an unbeatable price, in your area…provided that the minimum number of people sign up. For example, if a Groupon offer let’s you buy $35 worth of coffee for $15, you only get that offer if the minimum number of people set by the company making that offer actually sign up for it. That way the company knows it will have a certain amount of business in order to extend the offer. They get customers. You save money.

*** Pat Valdata counts for something:
To Ned, who wrote: “As we complete the first decade of the 21st century, communicators have seen dramatic changes over the past few years.”
What was the first year of the decade?
2001
How many years are in a decade?
10
Therefore, what is the last year of the first decade of the 21st century?
2010
Please let’s not revisit the mistakes of Y2K when all the math challenged thought 1999 was the last year of the 20th century. In our system of arithmetic, we start counting at one, not zero. Hence: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010.
And please let’s all pronounce the new year twenty-ten, not two-thousand and ten.
