Thirty years of working and I've never had a pointy haired boss. Until now. A few months ago, I decided that I would feel less stressed at work and be able to walk away more easily if I stepped down from management and became an "individual contributor." For the same pay of course, my mama didn't raise ...
Life choice evangelism and snip snip
Last week, we got a day off from work to do this personality theory testing thing similar to Myers Brigg's and based on Jung's writings. I turned out to be an "observer", one of the traits of which is to consider both sides. So anyway, I'm too flaky / indecisive to be a life choice ...
Mr. Money Mustache vs. Chuck Norris – who would win?
Tonight, I read more of Mr. Money Mustache's blog but couldn't stop the Chuck Norris jokes from swirling in my head. It's better than captioning LOL Cats photos - sort of. I do like the kittehs. Anyhoo, here's the result of a pleasant hour with my son LOA'sO. I hope you find them a bit ...
Worrying
Will write more about this worrying problem this weekend (and how I kinda sorta live in denial try not to worry) when I don't have to worry about how I'm spending my time - here's a post from The Onion in the meantime: Giant Hole Swallowing Up Your House Added to List of Things ...

Lottery being that ...
What is this “hedonic adaptation” you speak of?
No seriously. I don't get this hedonic adaptation thing. I bought my SUV at auction about a year and a half ago (has it really been that long?) It has heated leather seats. It's awesome when the temps are circa -25C - or -5C. I've never adapted to it. Every time I sit or drive in ...
Notes on: The Trick to Money is Having Some!
What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though. ~ J.D. Salinger The Trick to Money ...
