Mr. Hacker said let's go Phishing

Don't be a phishing scam victim.

I'm using a real email that I received from a scammer to illustrate how creative and desperate these bottom feeders are getting. The email went to my spam folder so that made it suspicious. Sometimes legitimate email gets caught in the spam folder. In this case if was a dangerous form of a phishing scam. The email account that was used is not on record with the credit union, and I don't have an account with the credit union so that tipped me off.

Look at the grammar on the email. WAS and CAN. No email signature. What is really dangerous and sneaky about this email is the www,navyfederal,org/support link. It's a legitimate link if periods were used instead of commas hidden in the hyperlink underline. Very clever if you don't look at it real closely.

A person worrying about identity theft might click on the link thinking someone opened an account in their name or made some change to the account. Be careful with all suspicious emails. Call the institution in question if you want to make sure your not an identity theft victim.

*Tom Brady - Super Bowl 49 Champion

My final thoughts on #DeflateGate is that Brady knew about the deflated footballs in the 2014 AFC Championship game. The coach and team owner also knew about it.

A Quarterback knows when a ball is under inflated give me a break. Brady has no balls in his handling of this serious charge made against him. He got caught so he should just apologize and man up to the charges and take his punishment like a man. What does Brady do? Continue to fight it. The owner of the team is fighting it too. The Patriots owner Robert Kraft also owns Kraft Foods.

When you destroy a request cellphone to be examined by the NFL. Huh? What did Brady have on the phone that he is hiding? Instant messages to the Ball Boy or pictures of his stuck up wife. Well we can only speculate now. 

Brady does not have a spine. He will win at any cost. The New England Patriots Organization has no morales. 

Managing with style

The character Winston Wolfe aka "The Wolf" from the movie "Pulp Fiction" is what every Project Manager should be like. Exude confidence, not arrogant, in control, charismatic, accountable, and able to respond fast.

Project Managers are called upon to deliver results on-time within a budget. They are under pressure to get the job done. You could come across at times as a bossy Project Manager when dealing with sensitive people. Some people just get offended when you deliver your orders to them. Deal with these people by making some adjustments to your style to reach them better so they don't feel offended. You have no time to make enemies when you are on a tight deadline. Don't play hardball with these people. Get them onboard with you. If they are a lost cause dump them, because you have no time for pretty please with sugar on top of it. 

Always keep your composure. You are the center of focus with everyone relying on you to direct them.

A Friday Evening in Hawaii

Spending a Friday evening on Magic Island is so relaxing. Watch the sailboats. View a spectacular sunset to end the day. If you are there on a Friday Night then you will be treated to a nice fireworks show at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
