***Round-Up***

...because I haven't done this in a while.

Another Gen Y-meets-the-recession story: This latest one in the Financial Times is really worthwhile. It presents the young workforce accurately as both helpless and inconquerable. The key for managers really is to say, "here is cool technology, go be creative," and it will help their businesses in the long run.

No Grand Slam: TIME did a piece about the restaurant chain Denny's, which has upped its appeal to young people by adding midnight entertainment. The live music angle is interesting, but the author really missed the mark: "These hip 20-somethings are taking the after-party to Denny's?" he asks. Well, if you ever left Danbury, Connecticut, you would know that Denny's is a staple of after-party fare all over the country. We'll forgive you your misfortune of never having Denny's at 4 a.m.

Shred ahead!: If you hate clutter but are also uptight about organization, you'll love this list of financial documents to keep/shred. Feel reaffirmed that you are not odd to keep your credit card receipts for a month. But do go ahead and shred papers from the bank account in college you closed. Looks like I know what I will be doing this afternoon.
