The problems with the economy have hit home. Massive layoffs. The boss’s boss let go, the person next to you let go, people allowed to stay until the end of the month, like a living corpse – corporate-style. Calling someone about a project and saying: “Oh, you’re being cut? That’s too bad – are you [...]

This morning I forgot to grab an Atkins bar when I got out of the car to go to work, and said to hell with it – I’ll skip having it first thing in the morning. I drank (chugged) my 50 oz of water, and drank way too much coffee. By lunch I was way [...]
