juvenile, amateurish ploys didn't
work, these employees were thrown
under the bus to protect the man
who is supposed to be responsible
for effectively managing and safe-
guarding county taxpayers' money.
Ficano's apology is a fine start,
we just hope the demonstrated
regret isn't because he got caught.
dog residue in the back yard, but
everyone loves watching Lucy
chase her 43 tennis balls around,
throwing them over her head.
Grooming her isn't any fun, either,
and you end up looking like a yeti,
but when she lays down at your
feet with a big, contented sigh and
puts her head on your knee, well,
she'sworth it all.
All dogs are a lot of work and a
big expense, too, when you think
about it. But the joy, companion-
ship and love they bring to your
life really can't be quantified, espe-
cially if you're lucky enough to get
one likeLucy.
She's on the mend, no perma-
nent hip problems, and the vet has
no idea what she could have done
to herself to cause this kind of
damage. She still hobbles a little
and is obviously not her usual viva-
cious self, but that's OK. The vet
says it will take awhile.
I reminded my son of the time
she was chasing a squirrel in the
back yard and ran head-first into
the iron planter and knocked the
handle off with her skull, or the
number of times she's been to the
vet's office after snacking on the
wood chips around the plants in
the yard----she apparently thinks
those areFritos.
See what I mean about limited
brainpower?
But shemore thanmakes up for
it with the unlimited love in her
heart.
Don't they all?

Changing careers is common
Thinking about a new career?
You're in good company.
If you find your job too boring,
too stressful or too bland-or your
paycheck too small-you're not
alone. It's common for people today
to change jobs five or more times
before retiring. It's even more com-
mon to discover your true talents
and interests after you've been in
theworkingworld a fewyears.
There are many routes to a new
career path, but most experts agree
on some basic steps:
1. Start with some soul-search-
ing. Will you be happy taking a new
job where you work now or moving
to a different company? Answers to
questions like these will help you
decide if a career change is right
for you. And if you're bored,
burned out or stressed out, or if the
job outlook for your field looks
bleak, you should possibly consider
changing careers.
2. Decide what youwant. Higher
pay? More responsibility? More
fun? Intellectual challenges?
Personal satisfaction? Maybe you
want more contact with people.
Maybe you're after flexible hours-
or hours that are more well-
defined.Write down your thoughts.
3. Do some research. Books, Web
sites and trade magazines have
loads of information including job
descriptions, educational require-
ments, employment prospects and
annual income for many lines of
work. Talk to people who work in
industries that interest you. Start
with friends and relatives, but also
call companies and arrange to
interview executives or human
resources personnel about what
their firms do and what kinds of
experience and education they
require.
4. Create deadlines. Deadlines
aren't stressful if you use them as
tools to organize and set goals. If
you're going back to school, for
example, the admission applica-
tion cut-off date is a natural dead-
line. But go beyond that and devel-
op a timeline for starting your new
career. Be realistic, though. Don't
say you'll be working in one year if
it'll take you at least 18 months to
finish a certificate or degree and
an externship.
5. Take action. If you already
have the skills needed to jump into
a new career, start sending out
resumes. But if you need to go back
to school, check out several institu-
tions, including technical, business
and trade schools and community
colleges. Consider courses, loca-
tion, cost, financial aid availability,
schedules, externship opportuni-
ties, industry partnerships and rep-
utation. Talk to graduates about
their experiences.
Switching careers is a big step
that costs time and money. But the
rewards can be great. Especially if
youplan ahead.
