Monster : Your calling is calling The monthly M word, August 2009
Board members
Whiten those teeth and tighten up those pecs, this month our
M word comes to you during the World Surfing Games in Costa Rica where the planet's most accomplished time-wasters spend ten days seeing who can stand upright the longest. It's a tough life. Continuing our holiday theme, why not use your break to do some objective career thinking? You're relaxing and having fun, so why not review your job over your shish kebabs too? On the other hand, if you want to get away for even longer – consider a sabbatical.
