If you’ve hit a snag and feel as if it’s you vs. the world, ask yourself one simple question: “Am I struggling against something that is unchangeable?”
Ok, after you ask that one, ask this one: “Do I have any control over this thing?”
Ask these questions about each of your “battles”:
- your desire for more [...]
It’s hard (excuse the pun) to write about this and not use words that rhyme with “chuck.” So, the Worried Worker won’t stress it if it happens in this commentary. Governor, what the fuck are you thinking!
It used to be that all Democratic scandals were about sex and Republican scandals were about money. Things have [...]
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is wish it was Saturday and I force myself to forget exactly what day of the week it actually is. After reality wins and sets in, my second thought is wishing for no traffic.
The anticipation of a clear freeway keeps me excited while [...]

Participants in the study were asked to drink a bottle of a cherry juice blend twice a day [...]

We have no say in the direction of the business or with our customers - we basically have to do exactly what we’re asked and the bosses are making some bad mistakes. How can we get more say in the business?
Now that’s a loaded question……you speak as if your part owner or have a right [...]
My daughter wants to be an actress. Not of the Miley-Cyrus-put-me-on-a-Disney-channel-show-with-bad-acting-and-even-worse-writing strain, but more of a Meryl-Streepy-Julia-Louis-Dreyfuss combination.
