  • Some people in my office have their work email synced to their phones. They also take home their laptops most weekends to “catch up”, “don’t fall behind”, or “just in case any emergencies”.

    They are not in leadership positions and we operate Monday thru Friday. Why???






  • I have a pretty uncommon name and happen to share it with a local news reporter/host. I don’t ever watch the local news so I rarely think about it.

    At least a few times a year someone I don’t know will bring it up. Mostly it’s if I have an appointment or made reservations. I’ll check in and they’ll have a disappointed look and say they expected someone else.


  • Rant:

    I had a pretty intense acid trip once and came to the conclusion that nothing matters, there is no meaning to life, there is only an illusion of free will, and most likely our existence and personal experiences in life will be completely forgotten within 3 generations (almost like we never existed to begin with). I was super duper depressed after that for several months.

    It eventually gave me a different outlook on life though. If it’s only temporary and there is no meaning, I can create my own meaning and enjoyment in life. Live in the moment, do what you want, and create as much meaning and enjoyment for yourself as you can while you have the opportunity. Don’t worry about what others might think because eventually their existence is going to be forgotten as well.

    The act of dying might suck, but being dead and not existing seems very serene. Sometimes things just sort of end.
