LexisNexis Announces Top 25 Blogs for Workers’ Compensation

I was setting at my laptop going trough some articles wondering what I could post that someone hasn't already snatched up. Feeling a bit guilty because I have been to busy to get to it all. Even with a new helper, I have just too much on my plate some of which needs to be weeded out but can not be as of yet.

I thought my next email was another of those you have just won...... you know the score. It gave me my needed pat on the back. I am not sure who signed us up for it but whom ever it was Thanks for thinking of the Weekly Toll.
