Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories. - John Wilmot
Ok, I didn't have that many theories, and I don't have that many kids, but you get the idea.

Seth's Blog: The new standard for meetings and conferences
Here's a post from Seth that really, really makes a lot of sense to me.
I come in to my office 5 days a week and some days talk to no one.
Not only is there no face to face interaction, sometimes my emails and voicemails go
completely unanswered until after I have left for the day or even into the next day(s).
Why couldn't I sit at Starbuck's or Caribou and crank out code? I could be anywhere for that
matter, since I HAVE an internet card that works anywhere there is a cell phone signal.
Something to seriously think about.

Belize! Sweet Belize!
The second sentence on the Wikipedia page for Belize says:
I wonder how long before the United States will need to have their Wikipedia page updated with similar language describing the sections, and I mean "sections" of the U.S. where English is the primary language. Also note I said "primary" not official. How is it that Belize can be "officially English speaking" but the U.S., or better yet, her individual States, can not?
It is the only officially English speaking country in the region.

How did THIS happen?
I have never been at this crossroads before, in any job I have ever had. Not only am I not qualified for my bosses job, I wouldn't want it if I was. And to add to that particular insult, I am approaching the idea of not even wanting the promotion that I just got. I am seriously considering asking for my old title and salary back. If my current boss is just going to keep doing things the way they were before I got promoted, I can't feel good about being paid for something he is doing. If he wants to martyr himself and be the overworked one, I guess I can't say much.
