What else I'm reading this week #2

For those of you who've been with me for some time, you'll notice that the blog went under a bit of a redesign this week. I've not only made it a little more reader friendly, but I've also added some new functionality to the site. On the sidebar to the right you'll see a box that lists all of the items I've shared this week from my Google Reader account. Each Friday, I'm going to archive each week's links in a post. So without further fanfare, here's what I've been reading this week (in no particular order):

Family friendly, also from The Evil HR Lady, discussing the difficult choices employees must make between job and family.
