Fake New Year’s Wishing
January 4th, 2010
I LOVE how folks start off with ‘Happy New Year’ or ‘Happy 2010′ before launching into their problem….
Either wish me a Happy New Year because you mean it and move on, or just ask me a question. Don’t sugar coat it….it makes it feel fake.
Anxiety
January 3rd, 2010
it has developed over the years, and has been worse in the last couple especially. I came to realize it about six months ago, and it takes all my willpower to handle it. needless to say it sucks.
Happy New Year

From Dallas, so I still have 30 minutes, but Happy New Year to all y’all monkeys out there!
And you too Rich!
Why the Holidays Make Work Worse
December 28th, 2009
1.) Because all the people that need something are working while all the people that can approve things are on month long vacations.
2.) I know everything is global now, but seriously, for a mostly US based company doing business in the last 2 weeks of December or the first two weeks of January is a waste of time.
3.) #2 does not apply to retail. If you are in retail, then may god have mercy on your soul during November/December/January
4.) Work stress + Holiday stress = Your Mugshot on CNN Headline News
5.) Who the hell in their right mind starts someone on a new job during this period when half the month is taken up by office parties and vacations?
Sending the Wrong Message

Listen, Windows 7 is huge change from Vista. The UI is different, the code is different, it is just a better operating system.
If you are going to commit to upgrading to it from Vista, after bashing Vista and pestering me about an upgrade, don’t come to me two days later saying you don’t like the UI, and that you liked the way Vista handled it better. Deal with it. Learn it. Because the worst thing you can do IF YOUR JOB IS TO CONVINCE OTHERS TO USE IT is show that you don’t like the way it works.
That’s like working for Car Company X but owning and driving a car from their competitor Car Company Y.
