Beware your Microsoft Office Attachments

Several years ago, it was popular amongst virus writers to use Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, etc.) to cause you problems. Fortunately, the Anti-Virus companies have largely made these viruses a thing to be forgotten as they protect us against these so-called Macro Viruses.

Trek Enjoys a Day Off at the RIM Company Picnic

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

After the reporters left me and Trek in peace we had a quiet moment together and vowed never to be parted again! Trek would become my shadow, where I went he would be there beside me. As a treat Trek came to my husbands company picnic on Sunday at Bingemans Water Park. We had to smuggle him in as we only had enough tickets for ourselves and two of our children.

Trek was quite the hero when the reporters were accusing me of being a poor example to him. He read from a prepared press release he had in his briefcase "When Ms Ockwell-Jenner took me along to the beer festival she did not know that I was actually an undercover agent for Bears R Us, which is an organization dedicated to ensuring the safety of entrepeneurs, such as Ms Ockwell-Jenner, the owner and founder of Motivational Steps.

As Trek waved goodbye and walked out of my office I felt a twinge of sadness, my Bear of Hope was leaving me, I would be lonely again, what would I do without him. As I sat thinking about what I would do without Trek I heard a commotion outside and decided to go and investigate. There were at least 40 reporters outside and they were all talking at once and asking where I was. Evidently they all thought I was a bad employer for allowing my Company Director to fall prey to beer and that I had set a poor example to Trek by taking him to the Beer Festival.

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

The paparazzi were out in full force at the Festival, one click of the camera and there it was a photo of my new Company Director, face down on the table,empty beer glass with Elvis looking on! What a disgrace to Motivational Steps, how would I ever be able to redeem my good name I asked myself as I scooped Trek into my purse and we drove home. Trek had quite a hangover the day after his disgraceful behaviour and I decided there was nothing else I could do but dispense with his services.

Feeling Lonely in my Home Office

Submitted by Linda Ockwell-Jenner on

Hi - my name is Linda Ockwell-Jenner and when I decided to take the step of becoming a sole-proprietor and founded Motivational Steps almost 5 years ago I had an idea I would feel lonely working from home. I was proved right,but recently I acquired a new friend, who was willing to become my company director, and when I say company I mean "company" in the sense my new friend actually does keep me company! My new friend is called Trek the Hope Bear and I found him quite by accident when I was in a store discussing a fashion show I am organizing.
