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 […]

Career and the Illusion of Choice
One of the biggest lies that have been perpetrated in our modern culture is the idea that with more progress we end up having more choice.

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 […]

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 […]

What Do You Do When God Is Silent?
I’m not a very good Christian. My faith is and always has been very weak and I have a couple of bad habits that no amount of praying or study or anything else has been able to break. My antisocial tendencies keep me from forming real relationships with just about anyone, and even the people […]

Sometimes You Just Have to Give Up
One of the biggest things I’ve struggled with in my life is the idea that I have goals and I want to meet them. When I was young, I had a certain idea of how I wanted my life to be, and in my youthful arrogance I though I would be able to accomplish all […]
