Here's what happened... I was in the HOV lane going past stopped traffic going at least 10 under the speed limit knowing stopping on 2 wheels for people who ( Read more... )

so my 6th mba (5/13 done now, will be 6/13 after this class) class starts tuesday and I usually read a little before I start the class to get ahead as there is usually over 200 pages I have to read a week in addition to written class participation and big big papers. So I start reading the "Organizational Behavior" book's section on "teams and ( Read more... )

Reading an article where Northrop Grumman's CEO is trying to make a point. While the point is valid I find his analogy silly. He says "How do you get companies to bid when you discover at the end of the day that Lucy pulls away the football? It would discourage companies from making significant investments to compete." Um last I watched (unless ( Read more... )

I had to push it the rest of the way to work...what ( Read more... )

So I go online to write a post but first check my friends page to see if anyone is up to anything interesting. Initially it seems all my friends have de-friended me, I think to myself, "I could see a couple of these folks deciding they hate me all of a sudden for no/little reason, but all of them? I haven't even written to some in weeks/months why ( Read more... )

My hard drive in my laptop died. So if anyone knows a reasonably priced data recovery service I'd appreciate your reccomendation. It seems to be a logic error rather than a fried disk or something like that ( Read more... )

I just changed my journal to no anonymous posts. If you are going to bother to write something to me at least take responsibility for what you write. Its a cop-out to write either something that's nice or something that attacks me without admitting its you. You see me, you see what I write. I try to take responsibility for all my actions and if you ( Read more... )
