Mama said, Marmoset

Ugh. Bad economy, hiring freeze, more work for fewer people, 8-10 hour days become 10-12 hour days, I'll just take this work home tonight becomes maybe I can finish this up over the weekend, and office closed for the holidays means an opportunity to work on those big projects... I might catch up if I work real hard.

But just remember



Marmoset, it's the failing global economy, stupid. You can't fix it by spinning faster. Days are gonna be like this.

I'm the type of person who thinks a life focused on a career is a selfish life wasted. When someone leaves the room because it's time to go to work, I call out, "don't work too hard." That said, I love my work. And I love doing it a little better. Lately, I'm trying out these ideas.
