Bill Kroen "gets a-round"
... even if you never have and never will play golf, if you are merely a female then Bill Kroen wants to hear from you. He performs great cunninglingus but needs to take Viagra to perform like a man. so take a number and bring your little blue pills! Bill is awaiting. And he loves it when you call him Doctor Klinton (Bubba is his rolemodel.)

Great Holiday Gift
This Calendar is loved by golfers as it is all instruction and not just pretty pictures. Golfers love this as a stocking stuffer and I give them every year. This is simply the best golf calendar on the market.

Great for the office!
This block calendar has kept people around me entertained for the whole year. You can temper with it, it folds inside out and in several different shapes, folding back showing different months. It is also great as a calendar, takes up little space, looks good, and still shows no signs of wear.


Elvis Presley 2002 Mental Block Calendar

Overpriced
While the concept of the block is cool, it is not worth what they are charging for it. (...) If you keep folding the block to see the pictures, the pages will wear thin at the folds and eventually tear apart. If you buy this, put it in a display case so nobody ruins it for you.

excellant!
As a true ELVIS fan it's something special - and it's excellant.
Therefore it's not to be abused - each person to their (own) view.
I'm waiting for next year's already! Mags.

This is not a wall calendar! Some product descr. say it is.
My husband is a Tolkien fan so I pre-ordered this calendar as a Christmas present. When I pre-ordered the calendar (early in the summer), the product description claimed it was a wall calendar. I found out it was a block day calendar when I opened the package. Even though the product was not what I expected, it is a treat for anyone who likes Tolkien.


Who Moved My Cheese 2003 Block Calendar: An A-Mazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in Your Life

Don't bother
While the message in this book would seem obvious, not everyone takes away the same "lessons". My wife, for instance, insists that it is better to enjoy your cheese while it lasts rather than looking for new cheese all the time.

Someone else has created entire website around this subject and insists that you should resist when someone moves the cheese.

An insipid book to give to an incompetent employee before laying off.

Don't buy it
Found it full of patronizing pap and pizzle. Offers few tips for managing change. Mostly tells you to get over it.

Little substance.
For those who are not familiar with the book, "Who Moved My Cheese?" is a simple parable that illustrates the natural tendency to resist change. The uncertainty that generally accompanies change in the workplace provides a level of discomfort that some try to escape. Rather than take the necessary steps for change, some employees cling to old notions and actions that produce little or no results.

Of course, it has been known for decades that people tend to avoid tasks that cause physical, mental, or emotional discomfort. Why it takes a simple little story about mice and cheese for some people to understand this is beyond me. Perhaps it provides a non-threatening, feel-good reminder of what we already know about ourselves?

The problem I see with "Who Moved My Cheese?" is not the message, but the difficulty in reducing such a simple little concept into practice. Knowing that we need to "search around the maze for new cheese" is equivalent to the stock market wizards telling us to buy low and sell high, or business experts telling us that we need to possess organizational savvy to be successful. These are things we all nod our heads in agreement with . . . but then what? We are left without any guidelines for determining when we are "moving around the maze" or simply "sitting at the cheese station."

Reading "Who Moved My Cheese?" is like signing up for the membership at the health club. It sure feels good, and it can be the start to something better, but the real work is yet to come. Read the book. Ponder its contents. But expect some discomfort if you really want to make progress.
