What to do when something has been lost....

First, you try to find it. If it can't be found, you might consider replacing it.

What you don't want to do is stew about the loss. Move on... Protect the things you have and don't think about the things you don't have...

The things you don't have consist of :

1) a lot of nice stuff.. (it's a material world and we're all material girls)
2) the stuff you lost...

Someone stole a box from me, it contained comic books that might be worth around $4000 dollars that I collected from age 10 to 13. They're gone. I need to protect the valuables I have now, namely, Carrie, Dallin, Thad... more to come.

Fake Cherry blossom for the office

It's going to look so nice...

Standing work station

Sitting to much sucks... but we work a lot. So why not stand up?

Life is good when...

"Life is good when we control it and master ourselves."

I got this quote from a LDS talk I found on LDS audio iphone app.

Good questions

When projects go wrong, an investigation is appropriate. I think you'll likely to find that the project didn't start with the right questions being asked and answered by the correct people.

What
When
How
Why

These questions have to be answered!

What's the proper order? Here's my take.

1) Why
2) What
3) How
4) When


They all connect and have some obvious interdependences but I would say that number 3 gets neglected the most.

Midnight laundry

Sooo... wouldn't it be great if clothes didn't get dirty. Or if you could just shower with your clothes and then entire a wind turbine and just dry 'em off. I'm not saying wear the same clothes everyday I'm just saying wouldn't it be great if you just hang it all back up and put something new on. If that were possible, I'd think I'd start hitting the gym in my business attire. Yes there's a chance that I'd split my pants but so what.

Okay, I'm going to do some laundry right now but I'll be thinking about that big turbine wind tunnel. Someday...

I'm thinking about a new watch.

Online guild motivation

http://casualhardcore.wordpress.com/2009/01/08/how-do-you-motivate-members/


Well, I don't have anything to do with an online guild but I am interested in the topic of motivation. I thought it very curious when I found this article about motivating a guild to show up on a raid or do some other online venture that might be associated with an Everquest like guild or group.
