When you are faced with an adverse situation at work, you come to realize whether your leaders are true leaders, or are they just full of hot air.

When all goes well, leaders preach grand, noble values and belief systems, alluding to how good leaders they appear to be.

The amount of updates I’ve done for my sites in the past week were probably the most I’ve done in the past year! I’ve built 3 new sites within the space of 5 days and currently populating them with unique articles. I’ve also updated two of my much neglected sites in terms of Wordpress version upgrade, template upgrade, and plugin upgrades. I’m extremely happy with how they are presented now

What with the widespread food scare, unending inflation, pending global recession, mega earthquake in Chile , and global warming getting worse.

I wonder ”if” I will be able to get a job at all in such economic conditions, even considering my not too bad credentials. Will I have to end up working as a waiter or a supermarket cashier… if such jobs will be...

This week is pay the doctors week. Blown nearly $200 on doctor visits when I’m trying to save $ for next planned trip. Could have been more if I hadn’t gone to the university health centre to get my medication and saved on consultation charges. Spent another $75 getting an injection in my cheek for a keloid due to an acne scar that didn’t heal properly… and another $40 on the GP and antibiotics for an apparent ear infection making my left ear go ‘pop’ whenever I burp.
