bodies. (It is worth exploring this work with Mr Sheridan) Once again, internationally-driven decisions to close GEs compounding business in Australia forced Mr Sheridan to look for an alternative employer and he joined Meritor. It was a good introduction to the heavy vehicle OEM marketplace in Australia and Mr Sheridan had significant team leadership responsibility in this quite large role.

Its location is home, and where ever I go, I will always know where the best cup of coffee is served. The atmosphere of Holstein’s is a quiet, yet busy establishment. It has people on their computers hidden in the back corner,…

“You are what you make yourself out to be,” is a saying that I have heard frequently, but didn’t quite understand until it finally clicked. Anybody seeking power, whether it be a politician, business owner, or an average day competitor, uses the essence of acting. The use of narratives and white lies allows for the powerful to entice the people surrounding them by painting themselves as a perfect person. Author of Empire of Illusion, Chris Hedges, contends that artifice is needed as a skill for…

While on patrol, I was dispatched to Troy Market Place in reference to a intoxcated male attempting to get into an 18 wheeler and leave. Upon arrival, I observed a white male in the driver seat for the rig, while it was running.
