funny. and regarding google it’s nice at it returns lots of openings as happymakers http://happymaking4u.blogspot.com/2009/05/happymaker-wanted.html :-)
maybe people should try that for a while and then try the search again :-)

Maybe we should have Google reorganise their search tips. Although, that will only hide the facts. Great blog btw! Been following for a while and always interesting comments and reflections. Would be interesting to see some content (or maybe you have in history – I haven’t checked I admit) about workplace in educational arenas, such as a university setting.
Cheers from Sweden!

Kind of scary but on the other hand; people who are really unhappy at work are probably much more likely to search on Google for advice than those who are happy at work :)

Well MY job isn’t!
It’s sad that the default position is for one to hate his/her job. There are way too many opportunities to be happy!
