HOUSTON — Halliburton’s fourth-quarter earnings grew nearly 50 percent as it followed customers from natural gas into oil and gas liquids exploration in the U.S., company officials said Monday.

Off to the office, you battle the traffic, thinking about how to tell your rebel employee that there have been complaints about his behavior.
You dread the meeting and yet know it can’t wait.
Pulling into the parking lot you feel a wave of frustration, seeing that someone has parked in your reserved spot and the rain is now coming down in buckets. Glad there is an umbrella on the back seat, you make a run for it hugging folders from last night’s homework close to your chest.
