Turn-by-Turn Directions

I'm the only directionally challenged individual in my entire family.  Turn-by-turn directions are a godsend to me.  The only time that north, south, east and west are meaningful to me is when I'm in my own driveway or on I-10 or one of the major thoroughfares that run parallel to this interstate highway. 

Julia shared the most amusing turn-by-turn directions that her friend discovered in Google Maps.  There are 82 steps to get from Japan to China.  Step #43 is by far the most challenging - jet ski across the Pacific Ocean. 

Even when we have turn-by-turn directions, getting to our destination may not be as easy as 1 to 82.

Career Directional Signs

Think about how useful it would be if we had Mapquest like career directions:
Spend 5 years in job X (unless you are enjoying the journey)
Transfer to job Y (if you need to change lanes)
OR
Exit current company (only if the alternate route provides faster acceleration and far better opportunity)

Blinkers

Blinkers are important, standard automotive safety equipment. Unfortunately they are optionally used.  In driving, business and life it helps to let those around us know the direction we are headed.  Others can help, collaborate or get out of the way. 

Don't you wish more people used blinkers?
