I’m not necessarily exhausted, but I’m tired and frustrated. I’ve had a major reality check in recent months, and it’s really not helping my well being, although I’m enjoying the burning process.
Most recently I’ve had to start giving up things that I previously thought were “necessities”. The first thing I stopped doing completely is, [...]

Someone Is Better Than You
Posted in opinion, personal, reading, technology, working on Jun 1st, 2010
In life, I don’t believe that I was ever truly prepared for this. Sure, there was some essence of competition, but nothing on the magnitude that I have dealt with on a consistent basis in the technological world. In school, there were always students better than me, but in the work place, it seems that [...]
The Office Music Sucks
Posted in cubicles, music reviews, opinion, personal, reading, technology, working on May 31st, 2010
Alright, there is one thing that I hate in corporate America’s tech world. The tech room music. I have to deal with the worst music ever. I’ve never been in an office environment where I didn’t have to put on headphones for my 8 hour shift, because of the stupid music that is played at [...]
In recent months I’ve had to deal with a lot of financial matters, that I never thought I’d have to deal with. After losing my job with Seattle’s pathetic excuse for a skate company (well, they are a snowboard company, but I can shoot from the Hip if I want to), I haven’t had much [...]
I don’t miss tech, I just miss the easy paycheck. I’ve had a problem finding a new job, and it’s a sad state of things, that’s for sure. Maybe soon, I’ll return to the low level employment world, because college was a mistake.
The TPS report is lame. It is not just something that is [...]
Another blast from the past, this one talking about my addiction to caffeine while working technology jobs. I’m glad to not be in that environment, but still, I drink too much coffee.
It is a well known fact that brands try to spend millions of dollars in marketing to try and get people to buy their [...]
I’ve heard a lot of talk about how to dress for an interview, how to dress for work, how to dress for an office, and all sorts of advice on how to dress for work. I’ve always taken that advice, initially, and have continuously been laughed at on my way out of the interview process. [...]
Once again, we go back in time, to look at another piece of my working world puzzle. It’s unfortunate that I’ve spent many years at jobs I hated, but it made for good content, at the time.
For the brave tech workers, we have a huge mountain of things to do on Mondays. I am fortunate [...]
It’s funny to me that you can spend your days downloading music all day, and still not get fired or laid off. That’s fine, but I remember venting on my website, and no one cared, and rightfully so. Here we go to July 2008 and how frustrated I was with the slow internet in my [...]
In continuation of my posts from when I was stuck in a cubicle, and warehouse at a snowboard retailer, here is another post from the past.
You have to put it into prospective. Well, I do.
I was working at a job I hated, for a wage I didn’t feel I deserved, in a position [...]
