Wintry Mix for the weekend
Today is National Clean Off Your Desk Day. (A good day to clear away the clutter).
According to a survey of HR managers, what does a messy desk say about an employee? More than two-thirds (68 percent) of human resources (HR) managers interviewed felt it is at least somewhat acceptable to have a messy desk at work. In fact, nine percent even said it is a sign of a creative person.
*One organizational tip: Spend a few minutes at the end of each day straightening up your workspace so you can get a quick start in the morning.

Business 40 Project Update:
Fourth Street Bridge is now open over Business 40 in the West End area of Winston-Salem. *Fourth Street crosses Business 40 to the west of the Peters Creek Parkway bridge. The reopening creates a new way for drivers to go between the north and south sides of the Business 40 construction zone on the west side of downtown.
From its intersection with Burke and First streets, Fourth Street heads south through a section of the West End neighborhood before crossing Business 40 and intersecting with Peters Creek Parkway just north of the Academy Street intersection.
