Eight hours a day, nine if you count your lunch hour, is a long time when you aren’t busy.
Seconds feel likes minutes, minutes feel like hours and days, well the days just seem to repeat themselves…over and over and over again.
I would love to pass the time by eating but I don’t want [...]

Accept You Reject
Attention Outlook users; you probably know how easy it is to set-up an appointment or meeting. It goes a little something like this:

No Internet – Day 6
Phew! 6 days and still on track.
Okay, so here’s what’s great about avoiding the internet . . . Tremendously more productive. I had no idea how much time – and more importantly, energy – cruising the internet was zapping.

AIGreed
This isn’t about just the insurance company AIG anymore, folks, it’s about our elected officials, the big AIG.
Americans In Government
The House recently approved a 90% tax on AIG bonuses, like some sort of tantrum. The House is part of the group of dummies that gave AIG the taxpayer money in the first place. And, make [...]
