Thinking about old-school journalism…like five years ago.

Had a chat with a coworker of mine the other day. He had run across a book–or I should say had run across a blog post about a book.

What the?!

Everybody quiet. Nothing happened. The last four months were filled with regular blogging. No need to draw attention to– Doh! Haha, well I’m a jerk, but you knew that. There’s no way I can maintain my steady stream of ranting, writing and fixing the world. Something’s got to give! Lots happening. Lots to consider. First [ READ MORE ]

Corporate life and the new civilian

Five hours of meetings? No prob. Paycheck still goes through whether I’m working or listening to people talk all day. Doesn’t bother me at all[ READ MORE ]

Situational awareness

In the service, there's this state of mind called "situational awareness." It's almost this Zen-like state, where a service member is imbued with the near-godlike ability to know where he or she is in relationship to the universe[ READ MORE ]

Wow, nice place I have here!

For the more active employees, there are four gyms at the complex. The main fitness center in building A is open 24 hours. All day, son! I can get my kettlebells on![ READ MORE ]
