I believe in quitting.
Growing up in America, in a middle-class home in a suburban community, I was instilled with a solid work ethic. I learned the value of pulling my own weight, taking responsibility for my actions, and being dependable and reliable. I respect authority, obey rules and help others whenever I can. I am strong.
I am also weak. The perfectionism in my personality eats away my strength from the inside out. It insists on showing me all the rules I've broken, and all the people I've failed to help. It focuses on the distance between who I am and who I "should" be. But I have learned how to battle this enemy. I have learned how to quit.
When my husband left me several years ago, and my world came crashing down, I got a chance that many people don't get. I could start my life over, from scratch, and build it however I wanted, using knowledge I didn't have the first time around. As I surveyed the wreckage of my life, I began to see patterns, unnecessary patterns.
My life had been built on assumptions gleaned from the world around me. My goal had always been to do everything "right". I allowed the world around me to tell me the "right" way to live. To be a good wife, I must do this, and this, and this. To be a good mother, I must do that, and that. Sitting in the dust pile at ground zero, I saw the flaw in the design. The house I had tried to build was doomed to crumble. There were no load-bearing walls, only facades, propped up by assumptions and "general wisdom".
If I was going to rebuild, I would have to establish a firm foundation of who I truly was and throw away all the debris of who I "should be". I spent many months clearing the property. I examined every commitment I was in, and quit all that were not compatible with my new foundation. Each commitment, in and of itself, was good and right and some were even noble. But they weakened me, because they did not fit my true design.
Once the foundation was laid, I established guidelines to screen every timber and bolt before it was allowed to be used. If it did not fit my foundation, it was unacceptable. My new house would stand. As new commitments presented themselves, they were screened and tested, and only those that passed were allowed in. Some that passed the initial screening, proved later to be unsuitable to the structure, so they were removed.
Quitting has brought me peace. I make commitments very carefully, and I fulfill them to the best of my ability. But I am no longer bound to the universal guilt of needing to do every good thing.
I do what I do, and it is good. When I'm done, I quit. And I stay whole.

There are many of us who like to explore different options in the market to make easy money. I am sure that if you have been researching about trading options, you must be pleasantly surprised the see the growth of the binary options trade market as a promising market that brings sure returns on your investments.
What is this binary trade and does it really work?
Binary Options like its name suggest is picking from two options; either yes or no. The investor makes a prediction on certain stocks that he is invested in. These predictions can be based on knowledge of market trends and other analysis or by merely following the signals that are offered by the websites with which one signs up to be their brokers. Once the command is put in, if the prediction comes right, you make profits else you lose out. This has to be done within a specified and pre-determined time frame. The simplicity with which you can conduct this trade is the reason why so many investors are being attracted to it every single day.
It does work. You would have read up about enough and more people testifying about how they have suddenly found the treasure that they have been seeking for all their lives. It is very lucrative market provided you are cautious about a few things;
Firstly, one needs to pick the right broker. If you manage to do this task well, then you have already won the battle. One has to be discerning enough to not be lured by the various bonuses, offers and incentives that these scammed websites offer and opt for those who have a reputation to carry and uphold. It is safer to opt for brokers who are listed and regulated under the supervision and control of a government body. Find out which brokers are listed with CySEC or FCA and other such regulatory bodies depending on your geographic locations and then take a sound call about whom you want to trade with.
You can really make money using the binary options trade because it is really simple and even if you are an apprentice you can learn along the way. One of the reasons it has become a rave is because people are quickly learning the knack of trading successfully without having prior knowledge or experience. Before you choose a binary option automated systems, read this: http://cybermentors.org.uk/online-wealth-markets-approved-see/
Lastly, I would like to say that there is no such thing as easy money. A passive investor can never become as successful as compared to one who is actively involved. It all boils down how you perceive this trade; if it is just about making easy money, your attitude of mediocrity will limit you from gaining consistent success. However if you wish to excel; you would spend time in understanding and analyzing the market so that you make wise decisions resulting in success and accomplishment of your dreams.

In the US going to nomorobo.com and registering for their service offers much better results that registering with DoNotCall list. Political calls are exempt from DoNotCall so now that an election is coming up, people registered with DoNotCall will be flooded with all kinds of political calls from candidates.
NoMoRobo allows you to register a phone number you want to block, no matter whether it is a politician, a charity, a direct marketer or a someone just making annoyance phone calls. I have been using NoMoRobo for a few years now and have rarely been bothered by unwanted callers.
In denmark you have to go to your local city hall to citizen service or in danish (borgerservice), and ask to be put on what is called the robinson list, this should cover both your phone number and your adress.

Firing your property manager is a Landlord's right and many do it without a second thought. Landlords have the power to do it and for some there's joy of taking the action with a sense of accomplishment i.e. increasing in cashflow by getting rid of the property management fee. However as we know good times don't last and this is when property managers come into their own and landlords using them breathe a sigh of relief.

From SignOnSanDiego:
Three men who pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a series of brutal beatings after a gay pride festival were sentenced Monday to prison terms.
James Carroll, 24; Lyonn Tatum, 18; and Kenneth Lincoln, 24, pleaded guilty on Friday in San Diego Superior Court on the second day of their preliminary hearing during which they heard testimony from three victims.
Prosecutors said Carroll, Tatum and a boy assaulted six men with a baseball bat and a knife as the men were leaving the annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Festival in Balboa Park on July 29.
Judge Frederick Maguire sentenced Carroll to 11 years in prison, Tatum to eight years and Lincoln to 32 months. They were immediately taken from courtroom after the sentencing.
There was a 4th thug who was only 15 years old and he's facing 13 years of confinement. All these sentences seem a little light to me given that they committed multiple counts of attempted murder, but at least they're going away.

Meal planning not only saves time and peace of mind through the week, but it also saves money and decreases food waste too. Don't let the process intimidate you! Here are 8 tips to help you plan a week's worth of meals. For meal plan samples and dinner ideas, click here.
1. Open your calendar. Plan your meals around your life, not the other way around. Before I pick even one meal, I look over the week ahead and consider which days I'll be strapped for time and which ones I have a little more wiggle room.
On the days we are at play group all afternoon, I usually plan a crockpot meal. Nothing is better than walking in at 6pm and having dinner DONE. If we have nothing planned, maybe I'll pick a meal that Hailey can help me with, knowing we'll have more time to play around.
2. Visit weather.com. Though the weather is hardly ever accurate for the entire week, it gives me a sense of what to expect. A day that looks cold a rainy usually requires and soup of some sort, while 70 and sunny makes me want to light up the grill!
3. Peek in your fridge and freezer. Do you have any items (meats, herbs, vegetables) that you didn't use the previous week that need to be used soon? Take note. Not only will it save you money on the grocery bill, it will help ensure you don't waste any food.
4. Limit new recipes. Sit down with your favorite cookbook/blogs/pinterest boards, but don't get carried away. I like to switch things up, but probably try a new recipe on 1-2 times a week. New recipes, even if simple, take more mental effort and focus than old standbys. Plan to try a new recipe on a day you have extra time. Sundays or Tuesdays are usually what works for my schedule.
5. Fill in the other days with family favorites. You'll see spaghetti squash with meat sauce, sweet potato chili, layered fiesta bowls and homemade pizza over and over again on my meal plans because we love them and I could make them with my eyes closed at this point. Plan meals that come together quickly or easily and won't stress you out.
6. Consider leftovers. We usually eat the amount that I cook, or I eat any leftovers for lunch, so we typically have a new meal each night, but if you usually have leftovers, hooray! Take a night off of cooking the next night.
However, sometimes I know I'll have one things leftover (extra chicken) so I can repurpose that the following night. Example: roasting a chicken one night means that the next night is perfect for a homemade chicken soup.
Also, consider freezing for the future. If I make a huge pot of pulled pork and don't want it two nights in a row, I'll freeze it to eat in the next few weeks, which gives me an easy meal down the line, without any waste.
7. Be flexible. Life happens and schedules get turned around. Don't let your meal plan be a stress to you. Typically if things get mixed up for us, I switch up which meals fall on which nights and try to make the meals that require the use of more fresh ingredients first. That way I can reschedule a meal for the following week and still possibly get away with using what I already bought.
For example: Spaghetti and salad is an easy meal to put off for a few days. I refer to it as a "wiggle meal" which means it can wiggle its way right into next week without wasting any food. Ground beef, onions, spaghetti squash and pasta hold up pretty well, so I can usually delay that meal a few days without wasting any of the ingredients I bought.
Also, consider freezing any meats, poultry or fish you didn't get to that week and use it the following week. It will be a pleasant surprise to already have an item bought when you peak in your freezer the following week.
8. Prep as much as you can on the weekend. It's amazing how having washed and cut lettuce or diced onions can make meal making so much easier. By the time dinner rolls around, it feels like you're in a cooking show where all the ingredients are set and ready for you to cook with right away!
With all that being said, here is a peak at my plan for this week:
Sunday– Garlic Butter Shrimp & Quinoa with Salad
Monday– Spaghetti Squash and Meat Sauce with Salad
Tuesday– Crockpot Lemon Chicken and Quinoa Salad with Artichokes
Wednesday– Crockpot Brown Sugar & Roasted Garlic Pulled Beef Sandwiches with Roasted Broccoli
Thursday– Layered Fiesta Bowls
Friday– Homemade Veggie Pizza
Last night's dinner was really delicious, but a bit heavy in butter.
Next time I'm going to try and reduce the amount used and see how it is. If a meal isn't any good or isn't a keeper for other reasons, I go back and delete it off my pinterest board so I don't accidentally make it again. It's a great habit to get into so you know you always have a collection of tested recipe that you and the fam enjoy!
I've found a lot of value in keeping on going meal planning notebook where I can keep all my meals plans organized and easily accessible to refer back to. Though any notebook will work, I started using this weekly meal plan and grocery list and have found it so helpful… and pretty! It's on sale now and use the code SLICE20 for an extra 20% off!
What is your best tip for meal planning?
Or, if you're new to it, what is the most intimidating part?

More than 100 applications have been submitted so far for £1m of support under the Farming Recovery Fund to support victims of the winter flooding. Farming Minister George Eustice is urging more farmers to apply.
Farming Minister George Eustice has urged farmers hit by flooding in December to apply for funding available to aid recovery of their land.
All farmers in Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham or Northumberland who suffered losses as a result of flooding caused by Storm Desmond or Storm Eva are eligible to apply for Farming Recovery Fund grants of up to £20,000.
Farmers suffering from uninsurable losses can apply via the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) for money to help restore farmland, rebuild tracks and repair drains and reinstate boundaries.
Funding was announced in December. The deadline for applications is April 1 but Mr Eustice is urging farmers to get their applications in as soon as possible in order to access vital funds sooner.
So far 107 applications worth over £1.1million have been submitted to the RPA.
Mr Eustice said: "These payments are part of a wider £200million package of government support set up to help communities affected by the devastating floods in Northern England.
The grants could make a real difference to farm businesses trying to get back on their feet.
"The agency has been acting swiftly and doing a great job approving applications within 10 working days."
"But I want every eligible flood-affected farmer to be able to access this vital money as soon as possible to help them get back to normal."
Farmers can apply for funding here
Guidance for farmers who have lost livestock as a result of the floods can be found here.
Those wanting support to apply should call the Rural Services Helpline on 03000 200 301.
Once all checks are completed, the RPA can approve an application and farmers can claim.
Payments against valid claims will be paid directly into bank accounts within five working days.
The fund covers a range of restoration and repair works including:

|Summary, etc.:
In every facet of postindustrial society-the way we eat, the way we communicate and entertain, the way we work, the way we court lovers and raise children, educate and govern-technology and affluence now let us reach our goals with a speed and efficiency unimaginable even a generation ago. But the result, Paul Roberts warns, is not all milk, honey, and gold. Companies now reflexively maximize short-term gain at the expense of long-term success. Politicians resort with ever-greater speed to nasty campaign tactics, and can count on their damaging claims to spread before the facts catch up with them. Consumers engage in serial over-indulgence in a self-tailored bubble. And the costs are substantial: financial volatility, health epidemics, environmental exhaustion and political paralysis, to say nothing of a growing, gnawing dissatisfaction.

Don't Tread on My Don't-Tread-on-Me Flag
My favorite flag as a boy growing up in Appalachia in the 1970s wasn't the Confederate flag, or even the state flag of my beloved Commonwealth of Virginia with the half-naked Amazonian Virtus stomping on the vanquished guy's chest. I liked that 1776 "Sic Semper Tyrannis" ("Thus Always to Tyrants") one so much that I took it off to college with me for all four and a half years of undergrad. But it wasn't my favorite. That honor went to the yellow flag with the coiled rattlesnake and "Dont Tread on Me" written across the bottom. Yes, the angry rattler always won out whenever I sat around in the woods back home as a lad thinking about my personal flag rankings.
So now that it's become the de facto banner of the Tea Party movement, I have mixed feelings. Maybe it's because I used to look at the rattlesnake flag and think about the American Revolution and kicking some Redcoat butt, and now I look at it and think about crazy Glenn Beck on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and homemade protest signs that say Obama is a "Muslin." Regardless of whether we think Obama is a type of fabric, perhaps the flag's appropriation by the Tea Partiers shouldn't be all that surprising. After all, the original didn't have an apostrophe in the word "Don't."
My aunts, Mary and Margaret, are going to kill me for that joke. Because not only am I the only NEWSWEEK writer who had a pet bear as a child, I'm fairly certain that I'm the only NEWSWEEK writer who has more than one close relative active in the Tea Party. And you can damn well bet Mary and Margaret have rally signs that are grammatically sound and spelled correctly. Speaking of misspelled Tea Party signs, I have a pet theory that a lot of the dumbest ones are actually planted by clever liberals who then photograph them and post those pictures on Facebook and Twitter to start those mean memes that make the good Tea Party folks look bad. I'm serious. And if the lefties who are running around panicking about this movement haven't been doing that, they ought to be. It's really a good idea. (You're welcome.)
Come to think of it, my relatives down south aren't really big fans of NEWSWEEK, either. My aunt Mary posted on my Facebook page recently: "You are the best no matter who you write for." How can you blame them? Practically the only week we didn't put Obama on the cover during the presidential-campaign year was the week we featured Michelle Obama instead.
Anyway, back to my fixation on the rattlesnake flag, which most likely dates from 1775 and, as any legitimate vexillologist can tell you, is called the Gadsden flag because of Christopher Gadsden, a South Carolina patriot. He was a colonel in the Continental Army and presented the flag to the commander in chief of the Continental Navy, Esek Hopkins, for use as his personal standard.
The origin of the flag's snake-equals-country status probably goes all the way back to at least Benjamin Franklin, who wrote in 1751 in the Pennsylvania Gazette that rattlesnakes should be sent to England and released in the gardens of the nobility and gentry, where they would be the "most suitable returns for the human serpents sent us by our mother country." Well played, Ben Franklin. Well played, indeed.
Then in 1754 he published a now infamous editorial cartoon depicting a serpent that had been sliced and diced, with each piece representing one of the colonies or a region of the country and the slogan "Join, or Die." The snake as a symbol of the colonies knocked around for years after that, and was found on currency and modified and reprinted by such luminaries as Paul Revere, among many others.
Since the days of the American Revolution, the flag has been tied to all manner of movements and causes: from the Navy to the Marines; from Ron Paul to Pat Buchanan; from Nike to the Boy Scouts of America. Some recent Twitter tweeters whined that the Tea Party affiliation had overshadowed the flag's association with American soccer, which I didn't even know about because who can stay awake long enough watching soccer to know what flags they fly.
Rightly or wrongly, the Gadsden flag has also been associated with biker gangs and loners and survivalists, and one even flew outside Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Michael Fortier's ramshackle trailer in Kingman, Ariz. And in a recent politics-makes-strange-bedfellows case, none other than the ACLU defended Arizona resident Andy McDonel when he was told by his homeowners' association that he should "remove debris"—meaning the Gadsden flag—from his Phoenix-area house and that he would be fined if he continued to fly it in the neighborhood. He is fighting the ruling, according to his blog.
So this Tea Party flirtation isn't the old girl's first rodeo. But that's sort of the point. If the current Tea Party capturing of the Gadsden flag teaches us anything, it's that symbols tend to be fluid things in American society. It's easy to sit back now and assume that every Gadsden-flag flier in your neighborhood is a Tea Party radical, just as it's easy to point at misspelled signs and say those people are a few Crayolas shy of a 64-pack. But I know better.
So if you're down on the National Mall at the next Tea Party rally, amble up and say hello to my aunts Mary and Margaret. If you're nice, maybe Margaret will give you some of her ridiculously delicious deviled eggs or macaroni salad, or you can try Aunt Mary's potato salad. It's my grandmother Tuttle's recipe. Really, there's no reason to be afraid of the Tea Party folks. They won't bite. Unless you're an out-of-touch politician who treads on them, that is. Or you're allergic to mayonnaise.

Good types of padded footstools include Taboret-style stools, which feature a rounder padded top with four low legs. Joint stools are also attractive and elegant antique pieces, featuring four turned legs that are joined at the top beneath a padded canopy. Other varieties include gilt wood stools, which featured ornate and braided tassels hanging off of their cushions.
Padded footstools are available in all shapes and sizes, but many also have additional features that set them apart from others. Some padded stools include a storage container within the design. They are durable and comfortable enough to act as a footstool, and they open up to provide users with additional storage within.
Many footstools also feature more personalized designs and embroidery patterns. These include pillow-top and button-tufted varieties. A tufted footstool is more stable as well, as the tufting keeps the interior filling from bunching up after repeated use. Pillow-top varieties are similarly built for style and comfort, as they provide users with a padded surface for regular comfortable use.
Some footstools are designed exclusively for their function, resulting in a less decorative overall appearance. These footstools feature metal or wood frames, and they feature adjustable height and width settings for quick customization for different users. Many of these products also contain wheels and other mobility accessories to allow users to move them where they are needed.

That one was particularly excellent, it's been a while hasn't it? Good to see BOFH back on form.
"All I'm saying," I say, trying not to lose my rag, "is that you don't have to keep all your email messages in their entirety." "Yes, but I need my email as a record," the PR droid burbles. "That may be, but you don't need a record of the 50 messages between you and the woman from the office across the road saying 'what do …
That one was particularly excellent, it's been a while hasn't it? Good to see BOFH back on form.
Real Cool Dude :-)
Mines the one with the 'should do better' sign on the back.
I'm about to be no longer a project manager.
Here's a clue: when the paperwork takes longer than the implementation, it's probably not a project.
The one with 'so you want to build an airport' in the pocket, thanks.
"Implementation plan: Click the mouse button on the ON radio button then click OK. Contingency plan: Click the mouse button on the OFF checkbox and Click on OK"
well played!
Bloody brilliant, as always.
Just at the start of that I'd thought we were going back to episode 1 (I wasn't sure but in true geek style I had to check)....
"Well, let's see, you have 4 Meg available"
"Wow! Eight Meg in total, thanks!" he says, pleased with his bargaining power
"No" I interrupt, savouring this like a fine red at room temperature, with steak, extra rare, to follow; "4 Meg in total.."
"Huh? I'd used 4 Meg already, How could I have 4 Meg Available?"
I say nothing. It'll come to him.
Thanks for the Friday giggles Simon keep em coming!!!!
...sadly not every Friday...
... of pretty much every project manager I've had the misfortune to work with over the last 15 years...
... anon just in case any of them are reading this...
great episode, from the "i need my emails" throught to the "fighting back the nasea"
"Bear in mind that these are the sorts of people whose sense of achievement is measured in reams of paper and time wasted" - it would be funnier if it didn't sound so much like real life...
Beer, because it's Friday and we all need one (or ten) after dealing with project paperwork...
Although my strategy involves amiability, apparent openness/receptiveness to HR's concerns, and complete agreement with their requests for more form-filling.
Those requests are then promptly ignored, until such time as even HR have forgotten what they were asking me for: such is the price of paperwork.
What was the contingency plan for banging on the door? And what was risk 3 and its contingency plan? I'm guessing just ignoring it would work for the banging but still, I'm curious.
Plan 3 probably involves an overcharged cattleprod, black plastic bags and shovels
Well, she's locked in a plant room. There's plenty of kit there that could "accidentally" go wrong. It's underground, so there's presumably some form of ventilation system, which could "accidentally" break down. In either case, asphyxiation would soon reduce / eliminate the door banging...
Try electrocution from exposed wires going to the lights illegally taping into the mains on the provider's side of the meter. After all the sort of person growing their own drugs didn't want the company spotting their personal little "project".
.....forgot the quicklime!
Spot and a nice reflection on reality. I hate bureaucratic PMs nosing in when you want to change something that involves clicking one button.
The Dynamic Duo have returned. The BOFH is none the worse for having been dead for a few episodes, and the PFY is none the worse for having been given the poisoned chalice.
Individually, they can do each other an incredible amount of harm. Together, they can not only wage a holy (and successful) war against the bureaucracy, but cover each other's tails too.
Simon, just in case you're still sober enough to drink it after all the other readers have said this, have a beer on me.
Come to think of it, I'll have one myself too.
needed that...a bit surprized there was not a single kerZAPPPPP in the whole thing.
It's good to see the Bastard is back and up to his usual stuffl with the PFY at his side, as is proper. Knight and Squire, riding forth and kicking ass, taking names and chewing bubblegum - but they're all out of gum and notepaper.
I only read BOFH to read the comments section, so I can see some idiot post the words "back on form" every time a new episode is delivered. It's like a rock of stupidity in a sea of otherwise mundane posts.
Yes. It's just like the responses to Woody Allen's film output over the last decade or so.
Right, but the hugh difference is our BOFH is excellent entertainment!
... bloody Woody Allen....Grrrrrr
Yup Beer is called for - that was a BOFH to warm the cockles of a rather cynical heart.
Well done, Simon!
Reminds me of going into the QA managers office at a client a few years ago and asking what all the box files that covered every bit of wall space contained. The bloke had printed out each and every email he had sent or received. Apparently he 'needed' a hard copy.
what are the F##### winning lottery numbers!!!
pint all round down the pub if we win :)
... of BOFH's than mine which was to stuff all of the project paperwork into every available orifice of the Project Bod and watch them slowly drown in risks, contingencies and flippin critial paths.
That's about the most exciting use I have ever heard of for those hell-damned pieces of paper.
Does that count as extreme pr0n? Thumbs UP, 'natch.
Never fails, someone whinges about the comments or the BOFH episode
There's a special level of hell for users that abuse mail stores. Those that used up too much mail store were tortured with not being able to send/receive email until such time as they migrated their mail off the server. I'm ROFL on this subject because the entertainment it's provided me over the years of torturing upper management over excessive email storage.
I'd have to go with the bullhorn, because there are times one needs it to let the users know that they're pulling a boner and need some instruction.
...thank you.
Day is half done, new BOFH and oh look.... It's beer-O-clock. I like these kinds of Friday's :-).
As the title suggests all these corpses & dead bodies following simon & the PFY aroudn must be pretty numerous, considering the amount of people locked in tape safes, random rooms etc.
I do so hope they have a contingency plan for the incoming zombie apocalypse? Come on Simon, we need to know, how will you deal with the zombie hordes of your victims?
The bit about the email is to much like what I have to deal with on an almost daily basis. No, you don't need the email from 1998 with a 4 MB attachment in it for a procedure / policy the company no longer uses. Save the fraking document to the file server and delete the email. And don't put it in a PST file either because we aren't going to worry about it when you get a new PC or lose your HDD.
I actually had to do some work on Friday so missed this till just now.
But it was worth the wait .
"Don't use more than 100mb" idiots complaining because their mail servers are so terrible. In the real world, microsoft, google, etc, will happilly give you gigabytes of email space for free. Amazon will sell it to you at 15cents/gb.
Whether I need 3gb of email is irrelevant, filtering out the stuff which is now no longer relevant costs time, that time is worth a hell of a lot more than 50 cents per month.
Storage is *not* the only parameter that determines mailstore size.
For example, a top of the line mail server still has to deal with the speed of backups and restoration as the bottleneck. Larger mail systems with lots of databases take a long time to backup/restore, and if they're too big then if something goes wrong you need to wait longer before your email becomes available (see: SLA agreement), which may *also* cost you time and money. Then there's mailbox performance which degrades based on the size of the mailbox (well technically the number of items in the mailbox), and unless you actually like slow-responding email then there should be limits.
So your mailbox size is relevant despite your wonderful analysis on the price/GB of storage space on amazon.
(not that I approve of 100 MB mailboxes in 2010 that's pretty small)
PS: Google/Microsoft etc are rich, have great/expensive infrastructure and are making money off the data they collect from you so they can offer a few gigs for free
Overpromoted bureaucrat with the authority to waste way too much of the company's time and money on marginal-to-useless paperwork?
Story of my company nemesis.
Bonus 1: she's not only weighs in on "projects", she's also a beancounter
Bonus 2: she's 9 friggin months behind on her accounting, yet she still somehow finds time to whine to everyone about large amounts of non-accounting-based paperwork
Bonus 3: she spends so much time on the phone talking to employees, yet asks everyone else to make more important calls to other companies/accounts "because she doesn't have time to do it"
Bonus 4: she's friends with the CEO (for some unexplained reason) so the chances of her leaving before retirement are pretty much zero
Grenade, because that's the least she deserves
New Lotus notes system 100 shift tech support staff no fixed desk, just kept some useful emails each. oh we used up our department allocation in 5 weeks. Well haft the team never logged in and the allocation was way,way too small.
So we lost our emails, after that about 80% stopped logging in.
It was another straw, I just gave up and quit.
..life was as simple as that.
by locking her in that room leaves me somewhat, unfulfilled...
In the old days the bofh would have had fun first. Perhaps by searching her email for references to 'dating, home video, personal photos' etc and sending the contents to various key people, from her account of course.
People like her need to be tortured before being disposed of..
"...the projects office is pretty much staffed by those people who couldn't get into the workplace safety industry because they're too petty."
Absolutely brilliant. I do appreciate the useful aspects of both workplace safety and planning/recordkeeping for large projects, but the unusually high proportion of whiny, nitpicking, hair-splitting, hyperventilating pettifoggers in both areas is astounding.

I'm going to transfer to a different seminary in the fall. Before I give a more complete explanation of that decision, I want to emphasize that it is not because of any negative judgment about my current school. I deeply appreciate its many strengths, and I feel blessed to have begun my preparation for ministry here.
Following are some of the great things about Palmer.:
Real Dedication to Kingdom Values. Palmer's motto is "The Whole Gospel for the Whole World through Whole Persons." The school consistently strives to live up to that motto in multiple dimensions. The student body and faculty are very diverse. Over half the students are Black; mostly African-American but also African and Caribbean. Slightly more than half the students are women. About 42% of the students are white. Ages range from 23 to somewhere around 70. Half the students are Baptist, and some 30 other denominations make up the other half. The spiritual, emotional, intellectual and practical dimensions of ministry are woven through the entire curriculum. Spiritual formation, pastor self-care, keeping Sabbath, and means of grace are stressed in almost every class, and are the primary emphasis of some of the classes. The atmosphere is warm, collegial and loving. The concept of "holistic ministry" is constantly stressed. Palmer teaches that it isn't enough to proclaim the "good news" of the gospel. The church must actually be good news to the poor, with a commitment to justice, systemic social change, and social action.
Academic Freedom. Palmer is a "bigger tent" theologically than I expected. On its website it describes itself as theologically conservative but socially progressive. Faculty are required to assent to a specific "statement of faith." Before I got here I wondered how comfortable I would feel in a "theologically conservative" school. It was fine. In fact, I have found myself rethinking my positions on some things, and becoming more willing to at least entertain different viewpoints from those I held before. I have never felt out of place or disrespected for my views. In papers where I am expected to say what I believe, I have been honest, and I have never been criticized or downgraded for my opinions, nor have I felt any pressure to tell people what I think they want to hear. Community and relationship are valued more highly here than conformity.
Great Teaching. Palmer has assembled a talented and dedicated faculty from all over the world and from many Christian faith traditions. Both "regular" professors and adjunct faculty are deeply committed to their teaching ministries. They are patient, persistent, and dedicated. They bring a high level of professionalism to their work. Most of the teachers are also currently working in pastoral ministry. In their teaching they bring a real understanding of and sensitivity to the practical challenges of ministry.I think that's critically important.
Scholarship. There are professors here who could teach anywhere they wanted to. They are well known for their accomplishments in fields of evangelism, social justice, and biblical scholarship. I don't want to name names, because I don't want anyone who I don't mention by name to feel slighted. I assume, though, that there are unique things about Palmer that attract and hold them, and make them prefer Palmer to someplace more famous or prestigious.
Commitment to Christ. This may seem like something that would go without saying about any seminary, but Palmer is unabashedly Christian. I was talking to an alumna of one of the six schools on my list (shortly before I found out that I did not get into that school.) She made a strong case for attending her alma mater, but she said, "You know, it's not actually a seminary. It's a secular divinity school." At Palmer, classes usually start with a devotional, almost always led by the teacher. People share joys and concerns, and they pray for each other. I don't think going someplace that is less devoted to practical Christianity will make me lose my religion or anything, but I really appreciate having been in a place that gives priority to spiritual direction and spiritual formation. I went to seminary because I felt called by God. It would have been a bit disappointing not to find God waiting for me when I got there. In my first orientation session, in August, 2008, the leader announced, "God has called you all to be together in this place." I needed to hear that. Although the school is thoroughly Christian, there is a respect for other faiths and a willingness to engage in interfaith dialog.
Commitment to Pastoral Ministry. Many of my classmates work full time, or have other major life commitments. A significant number of students are already working in ministry, some as senior pastors. The class schedule at Palmer is designed to help working adults get a solid theological and pastoral education. Required classes are offered at night or on Saturdays. Some people come in from three or four hours away. They can take classes on two consecutive days, and spend the night, making the most of their time in school. This is a huge benefit to the Church.

A fifth season of Arrested Development is still possible, Neflix's CEO Reed Hastings has revealed.
The cult comedy, which originally ran for three seasons on Fox from 2003 - 2006, returned for a fourth season on Netflix last Sunday (May 26).
Hastings told CNBC's Squawk on the Street: "Arrested is unique because that's really up to the talent.
"If the talent were willing to do more… I'm sure we would be willing."
Hastings confirmed that Netflix will not release ratings for the show, however, he revealed that they are pleased with its performance so far.
He said: "We've had very high expectations from the beginning for Arrested Development.
"It's got a well-known brand, and it met all of those expectations. We've been thrilled with the response, it's been huge, just as we had hoped."

So far, this is best zero issue I have read. I'll admit, I was not excited about the concept of throwing all the DC comics into past-revealing zero issues. But if it has to be done, I wish more were done like this. Since the Wonder Woman series itself is an origin story of sorts, Brain Azzarello and Cliff Chiang use this issue to have a bit of fun. It's billed as a reprint, a classic tale from All-Girl Adventure Tales For Men #41. Wonder Woman #0 is played for a laugh, and yet it still tells a great story.
Azzarello writes this issue as if it's a relic from the past. It reads like a book from the 50s, overly wordy, too much dialogue and ridiculously dramatic. It's seriously done so well that I had to look up wether All-Girl Adventure Tales For Men was a real book or not (it's not). While it does manage to give some insight to Princess Diana, it mostly just feels like a joke. A really, really good joke. Still, after the previous issue's mind-blowing cliffhanger, this one just feels like a momentum killer.
Chiang doesn't alter his style too much to fit the throwback feel of the book, which is both good and weird. It's good, because he's Cliff Chiang and his art is a-freaking-mazing. It's weird because it makes the retro vibe of the book appear to be slightly half-assed. It would have been interesting if the art had colors and inks to match the era the book is supposedly parodying. Of course, when the art looks as good as it does, it's hard to complain. You won't ever find me saying I don't want an issue filled with Cliff Chiang art.

im 16 weeks and eating everything but then i throw up
6 answers
how do i eat and not throw it up
answers (6)
I had this problem early on when I was pregnant. I was throwing up 10x a day. I didn't think there was anything I could do except suffer through it, but my doc said i could take Zofran. I took 1/2 a pill in the morning and 1/2 a pill around lunch time.I did this becasue the whole dose made me a little drowsey and I had to be able to go to work. I was still nauseaous but I wasn't throwing up. Maybe once in the morning before I managed to take the pill. So if yu ahve no objections to taking medication I would ask your doc about Zofran. It helped me tremendously.
thanks i really need something my doctor said that ginger ale helped if i didnt wanna take medicine but it didnt work good
If it makes you feel better, I'm always hungry and don't have the appetite for food (if that makes sense). I want to eat but my baby doesn't want me to eat. Do tums work for you at all?
sometimes they work others they dont
Also, I munched on crackers or dry cereal throughout the day when I started feeling a little sick. I think having a little bit of food in my tummy helped out. At work I also sucked on sour hard candy throughout the day and that helped as well. I recommend sour jolly ranchers:)
I was diagnosed with hyperememsis during my first pregnancy and got Zofran. (It was covered by my insurance.) But it can be expensive, so if you need to ask for Onedansetron, its the generic name for it and its a whole lot cheaper and works just as well in my opinion.

Today's featured book is:
A passion for humanity drives Rona Altrows's Key In Lock. The people in these entertaining yet poignant stories wrestle with self-doubt, ethical dilemmas, money problems, health issues. Yet somehow they survive and sometimes they even thrive. Key In Lock also marks the return of Irene, beloved manager-in-all-but-name of Marjorie's Lingerie introduced in A Run On Hose. This time Irene takes on issues as diverse as dating later in life, the effect of childlessness on a person's psyche, stress incontinence, and the love rituals of banana slugs. Irene also brings us tales of her youth in the days of the polio epidemic and Vincent Price horror movies.
How I Know Rona Altrows:
Once upon a time I wrote my very first book. I was so proud of it and so amazed that I'd actually done it that I forced it down the throats of all my friends and family members. Bless their hearts, they all congratulated me on a job well done. One day I spied a free Writers In Residence programme being offered at the Calgary Public Library. Shaking from head to toe, I brought in my twenty-five first pages and left them there for Rona Altrows, the Resident Author, to read. This was my first experience with a real, live author. The following week I went in to meet with her, and she absolutely amazed me. Yes, she liked the book, telling me "You've got it, kid," but she also smoothly and patiently (and compassionately) taught me the basics of editing a book, making it something people don't just set aside.
Rona has always been a mentor to me, though she is humble about that label. She's a very enthusiastic supporter and promoter of aspiring and little known authors, she's an author of unique, eye-opening, poignant tales, and best of all, she's my friend. Thanks for being a part of this, Rona!
A man needs a certain amount of intercourse. You can stay at the rubbing-pressing-groping stage for only so long. You may be able to stretch it out for months, which is how it's been going with Raymond and me. When you are in your sixties, like we are, you like to extend everything out, move at a more relaxed pace, as though that will convince the Grim Reaper not to rush.
It's not as if he's said so in words, but through the way he acts, Raymond has shown me how he would like the scene to unfold; he'll be ready any time I am. And to be fair to him, I can't hold out forever. I mean, he has been patient, a gentleman—no pushing or insisting. But at some point, no matter how sweet a guy is, or how old, only penetration will do. I'm in a jam now. He's great company, a fine man, and easy on the eyes, but I'll never love him. What's more—and this is the part that scares me right now—there's something I don't want him to know. If we keep seeing each other, there's a chance he'll learn my secret; if we go all the way, he'll find out for sure. Can I live with that?
So I've given myself a deadline. Tonight. We're going out to a movie, and then he'll drive me back to my apartment for a drink. By then, I'll have made up my mind.
Right now I'm still doing the back and forth. We humans would probably be better off if we were built more like banana slugs. In her university classes, my young friend Julie learns how animals go about their business. She knows I am curious and tells me the juiciest stuff, like the slugs' story. She talks about how they court for hours, which is like years for them, and how they snack on each other's slime before sex. But to me, the best part is the location of the genitals, not too far from the head. With that anatomy, I figure there's a good chance that they use their heads when it comes to deciding about sex. Not like us. All that distance between the brain and the other place leads to nothing but trouble. Bad matches, heartache, aggravation—I'll bet those are not major problems among the slugs.
And there's another thing slugs have got on us—mucus. In slug sex, there is an exchange of mucus, which is what I will need more of if I am going to take that next step with Raymond. Not mucus exactly, but lubricant.
Rona Altrows was born and raised in Montreal and lives in Calgary, Canada. She is the author of two books of short stories, A Run On Hose and Key in Lock and is currently writing a book of flash fiction. She has received the City of Calgary W.O. Mitchell Book Prize and the Brenda Strathern Prize for her fiction and has been a finalist for the Howard O'Hagan Award for Short Fiction. Altrows's work has appeared in many Canadian and American magazines and ezines. With Naomi K. Lewis, she is co-editor of Shy, an anthology in which 39 writers reflect on their own shyness. Shy will be publshed in fall, 2013 by the University of Alberta Press.
And two fantastic additional Christmas presents:
Kaki Warner's acclaimed trilogy: THE RUNAWAY BRIDES—three strong-willed women headed West in search of new lives. But when their train is stranded in a dying Colorado mining town, they get more than they bargained for…and find love where they least expect it.
"Lightning paced, innovative, topical … and most of all, frightening."
-- James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author

After months of dreaming and being lazy,
weeks of acquiring working hardware,
days of setting up the OS, Apache, and MySQL,
hours of migrating wordpress data and configurations,
minutes of settings up network IP routing,
and seconds of testing,
I have finally migrated this blog from WindowsXP to FreeBSD 6.2
It's time for me to grow some horns. I'm looking forward to seeing how much more reliable, faster, and secure the blog will become. I'll soon be posting tutorials on the troubles I've encountered throughout this process, but for now, this is FIRST POST on the new system!

I have been working at Glassdoor full-time (Less than a year)
I wake up every morning pumped to walk into work... sounds cliché, but so true! The culture is unlike any company I've come to work for or interviewed for. Everyone in the Glassdoor community is truly genuine and extremely helpful in all aspects. Upper management will help you focus on your next career steps, in setting up mentorships and having one-on-ones to meet your goals. Since I've started as an OSR (only about 3 months ago) 3 of my teammates have been promoted so growth in the company can be fast and is expected.
We moved into a new office on Fulton Market, which is completely beautiful with a great view of the city.
Your coworkers will become family!
As a new team, the role is continuously changing, but management's positive energy and great communication helps for an easy transition.
Advice to Management
Every day you have a smile on your face and bring great energy to the entire office. The team appreciates everything you do for us and the company!

The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Glassdoor (Chicago, IL (US)) in November 2017.
This was the most fun and interactive interview process I have ever been apart of. The whole point is to really get to know the candidate, which many companies lack nowadays. The interview consisted of 4 steps and the whole process took about 3 weeks. The first step is a brief phone screening with a recruiter - I had Linda who was an absolute gem to work with through out the entire interview process. The second step was a phone call with the hiring manager - Come with a reason why you are leaving your current position and why you would be a good fit for GD. The third, and in my opinion, the most difficult part of the interview process, was the product pitch. GD provides you with all of the necessary tools to be successful - Be sure to practice, practice, practice! The fourth and final step was an in person meeting with sales managers/directions. This portion was surprisingly pleasant and conversational - Not nearly as intense as most interviews. I heard back the same day and am ecstatic that GD has welcomed me into their family!
Interview Questions


text: Choosing the right books for beginning readers Much has been said in government and in the media about the need to improve literacy skills but a workable solution remains elusive. In order to improve global reading results, we need to focus on teaching reading skills explicitly. This includes the teaching of pre-literacy skills, such as rhyme, vocabulary, visual matching, and language comprehension. As these skills are developing and we begin to introduce reading skills, we need to maintain an emphasis on vocabulary, and explicitly teach word decoding skills and reading comprehension skills through example and practice. Research tells us that for most people with reading difficulties the underlying problem is a phonological deficit, a difficulty working with the sounds in words. The brain is malleable and particularly so in young children. We need to engage junior primary students in a powerful program, such as Jolly Phonics, that teaches them about the sounds in words and their relationship to letters. These are the foundation skills for reading. An introductory literacy program will be most effective if complemented by a phonics-based reading program. One of the major barriers to the teaching of phonics is the adoption of reading levels by Australian schools. Levelled books are classified in different ways depending on the system. Criteria include degree of difficulty based on semantic difficulty and the complexity of the sentences. What this means is that a book with a levelled vocabulary can have mixed text in it with all kinds of spellings as long as they are within the level. As a result, students may find some books easy at a particular level and others too hard. These systems include a testing regime to determine when children are ready to proceed to the next level. Well known systems include the Lexile Framework for Reading, Reading Recovery and Guided Reading. The PM Benchmarking kit enjoys widespread use in South Australia. My concern is that reading levels have been adopted by schools because they offer a convenient structure for a whole school reading program. Books classified according to a particular system can be grouped into 'the red box, the blue box etc' and the testing regime used to guide students through the levels. In many schools, there are expectations in terms of level for each grade. For example, students should be at Level 23 by the end of Grade 2. Because reading skills are not taught explicitly and systematically through these systems, students can find themselves at the same level for a whole year. This can have detrimental effects on their motivation and self esteem. The systems that level books now have a strong commercial base and schools prefer to buy books that fit into the levelling system they are using. A few years ago, I visited a junior primary school and asked if they would show me how the reading levels work. The reading levels coordinator showed me the manual with the tests the students are given. As I looked at level 1 with words like "painting' and "climbing", I commented that the words seemed hard for a beginning reader. "They don't have to read the words," I was told, "they look at the pictures. It's a form of reading." This approach to 'reading', I believe, is responsible for the strategy used by many junior primary students who are not automatic readers, what I call, the 'look and guess' approach. They look at the picture and guess the word based on key letters. Using this strategy in one of the tests I use, "book" has been read variously as "ball" and "bird". You see all the pictures start with the same letter! And then there's the little boy who said to me as we progressed from test items with pictures to items without, "I can't read that, there aren't any pictures." Choosing the right books To ensure that beginning readers enjoy success, it is important to explicitly teach them phonic skills. These are the foundation skills of independent reading as they provide students with the ability to decode words they have not seen before. Teaching starts with the sounds of the letters of the alphabet. Phonically controlled books Phonically controlled books have titles like The Pet Hen and The Owl and the Clown and follow two guidelines: 1) They are written with a phonic rule in mind, eg, short e and use mostly words that follow that rule eg, The pet hen got the vet wet. You won't find words like 'cough' and 'Guy' thrown in with 'cat' and 'fat'. When reading phonically controlled books, you show the child the new words, teach them the new phonic rule and the student can read the book independently. 2) Other words used are either words the student learnt in earlier books or new words that the author lists in the front or back pages of the book. Only a few are introduced in each book. Phonically-controlled books are classified by difficulty, too, but the classification is based on the difficulty of the phonic rule introduced in the book. One of the best known series of phonically controlled books is the Fitzroy Readers, now available in hard copy and on CD. Regrettably, phonically controlled books are being relegated to the scrap heap because they don't fit the system. As a result, children who need to be taught using the building blocks of reading (phonics) are failing. How many children might this be? Let's look at the statistics. Assuming a normal bell curve, the IQs of 25% of students are below average. The majority of these children need explicit skills teaching to learn to read. When you add to this the 3-10% of children with an average IQ and dyslexia, we are now talking about 30% of children and this still doesn't include children in neither of the above categories who might have a language disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or Auditory Processing Disorder. If we are serious about improving reading skills, we need to spend time providing explicit skills teaching. The value of running records is ignored if they are used to decide on promotion to the next reading level rather than for their primary purpose which is to find out where the student is having difficulty and what they need to be taught to progress. That a minimum of 40 minutes/day be spent in junior primary classes on the explicit teaching of phonics, spelling rules and handwriting skills. At the beginning, this should be supported by the use of phonically-controlled books. Once students' reading skills take off, then they can move to levelled books with confidence and achieve success.
