I’ve got a friend or 2 that work for a companies that are hemmoraging employees. Every time I talk to them, it seems as if they’re going to another going-away lunch, or cross-training to take over someone’s role. After a while, and enough stories about what its like to work at these places, I realize [...]
I went out last night, for the first time in a while. And I don’t mean that I’m a hermit, but that I don’t go out to the bars very often. I don’t go to the bars because, everything, and I do mean everything, turns into drama. Invariably there is going to be at least [...]
I recently subscribed to the daily quote from The Foundation For A Better Life. I’ve found myself looking forward to their daily dose of inspiration, even on the days that I struggle to believe in them.

If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you [...]
If you’re a Calvin and Hobbes fan (which you should be), check out this Calvin and Hobbes Search Engine. I’ve already wasted plenty of time on finding some of my favorite comics, which I’m posting on my door at work.
Of course, the geek in me wonders if they really took the time to [...]
I’ve always rather thought of myself as a writer. By no means am I a good writer, or even a prolific writer, but I enjoy the process of putting words together into sentences, sentences together into paragraphs, and paragraphs together into… well, whatever it is that I am writing.

A friend and I went through an interesting exercise the other day. We know that one of the services in our building costs $1.00 per minute. So, we decided to figure out how much we get paid by the minute. Since we’re on salary, we don’t even really think about how much we make an [...]
