The Difficulty of an Online Presence in the Modern Era
It’s hard to know how many people actually follow my blog on a consistent basis. Sometimes I use the phrase “those of you who follow me regularly” with the assumption that a fair portion of the more than 250 listed followers actually read the content I used to put out on a fairly regular basis,…

The Hourly Wage Needs to End (Well, Sort of…)
During this extended period of enforced inactivity, I’ve had a considerable amount of time to think about various topics in a way that I hadn’t really approached in the same way I did back when I had specific things to worry about every day. When you don’t have a rigid schedule forcing your mind into…

The Shift Away From Meaningful Content
Over the course of the last year and a half or so, I’ve been trying to establish an online presence in the hope of turning my ability to write into something that can actually provide a sustainable living for the modest lifestyle I’ve come to enjoy. For the most part, it feels like I’ve been…

We Need a Job Search Revolution
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about working in the modern world is that time when you come to the end of whatever it is that you’re doing and you start to realize it’s time to start looking for work again. Perhaps you’ve been on a long project with a company and it’s over now and…

It’s Not What You Have, It’s Who You Know
I am very proud to have maintained this blog for more than a year now, and in that time we have grown together to more than 250 followers. While I haven’t been the most consistent with putting out content, it is gratifying to know that at least a portion of those who have made the…

A Wasteful Recruiting Process
As someone who has generally struggled in the job search arena, it never ceases to amaze me how inane the process of looking for a new position truly is. My personal philosophy has always been that I hate looking for work because it generally involved a lot of work that I’m not getting paid to…

Just Felt Like Writing
I don’t know if this will get a video, mostly because I don’t really have any specific point that I want to get out of my time writing here today. No earth-shattering, philosophical points or outrage against all the terrible things going on in the world or advocacy for the agenda of returning back to…

Remembering How Good You Had It
I think most of us tend to have a relatively negative view of our work life. It’s easy to get involved in your daily routine and become lost in the mundane banality of the mindless work that is likely a part of whatever it is that you do. If you work in an office all…
