Goals Achieved and Dreams Yet To Come
I'm not making any specific resolutions this year, for Vocal, or for anything else. As most people who set New Years Resolutions can tell you; that rarely ends in anything but disappointment, guilt, a lingering sense of shame and failure, and a general feeling of futility.

Time Attendance system in Dubai
A time attendance system: what is it? Your employees' start and end times for office work can be tracked and monitored with the use of a time attendance system.
