Back when I was a pre-teen, I resolved to never make another New Year's resolution.

Waiting until the beginning of the New Year to change something in my life seemed like an easy excuse to procrastinate. It also seemed like a good way to justify not sticking to my resolution. After all, it was only a New Year…

My biggest time sink was following up with coworkers and management.

It has become A LOT less of a time sink since I switched to a different department. However, in my previous department, I spent the majority of my time following up with coworkers and management so I could finish projects that I was working on.

I started picking strawberries and delivering newspapers as a pre-teen.
As a teen, I was a waiter.
As a young adult, I was a dishwasher, short-order cook, and kitchen manager.
From cook, I moved to being tech support for an ISP.
When I moved to Seattle, I became a receptionist, followed by customer service.
In the past few…

I am also the one who (primarily) does the laundry in our house. Laundry gets put away because I am neurotic. If I don't put it away, I get that nagging feeling that something is incomplete and the universe is in chaos.

My wife gets annoyed at me washing clothes that she has not put into the hamper. I tell her that…

I wonder if that is how a lot of misuse of words started. For instance, the overuse of the words, "like" and "literally". These words are not ones that people tend to write a lot, but I do hear them used a lot.

Envy is the emotion when you want a possession someone else has. "You got ice cream, I am so envious".

The part of the sentence after the semi-colon is a start of a new thought. They were talking about John enrolling in sociology class, but then they switched to talking about swim club.

Using "jealous" when you mean "envious" (as an, "I am so jealous") is like nails on the chalkboard to me.

I can also confirm that this happened in Seattle.

Know what gave me the incentive to take better care of my teeth? I had to pay over $20,000 to have my teeth repaired. And, that is after insurance.

Three "hacks":

I created a spreadsheet in Google docs a few months ago that does a similar thing. The only difference is that you need to plug the numbers in yourself:

For over the past year, I have worked a minimum of 45 hours a week.

Flipping an omelet takes a lot of practice, a good pan, and timing.

I cannot say it enough; pay attention to your surroundings.

It is about time someone can tell me what I am about to do. I've always had issues with being indecisive and often change directions in mid-pace. It often frightens those around me and irritates my wife.

I fully agree with your post. One of the first things I do is back-up all purchased digital media to a DRM-free state. This includes eBooks, music, & movies.

There may not be need for him to build bionic arms for anyone else. Just wait until some company in China creates a cheap knock-off of the arm and is selling it on eBay.
