Worst Interview
I was reading this little guide to not screwing up your next job interview. I think it’s dead on. So many of those points are valid yet I know a lot of people who wouldn’t agree. So, what’s your worst interview experience? Tell a story!
Are you working on your business, rather than in it?
Question: What percentage of your time do you spend working on your business, rather than in it? We’ve all heard the proverbial phrase that you should be working on your business rather than just in it. Because if you are working for your company, all you’ve done is create a job. As a bonus question,…
Unspoken Office Policies
Do you have any unspoken office policies where you work?
Out of Body Experience
Have you ever had an out of body experience? Is it even possible? I feel like I’m having an out of body experience whenever I forget to eat lunch. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think it’s possible. Tell me what you think!
Have you earned your air today?
Friends often ask me that, and we tie it to productivity. If you’ve had a good day, the theory goes that you’ve earned your air. To take it a step further, I have a question for you… What Does It Mean to Waste Time?
Earthquake!
I went to Norway for a vacation 6 years ago and we were sitting down to a nice dinner with our long lost relatives (literally in Tønjum, Norway) and we experienced an earthquake. It was the first one I’ve ever been in and I think it registered somewhere on the 4 scale. So not too…

I just finished reading _Blue Like Jazz_ by Don Miller. I’m not very good at writing book reviews, so here are a few comments about the book: it reads quick, it is entertaining, and by the end of the book you want to be friends with the author.
I just started on Freakonomics – it’s a great read so far!
Blue Like Jazz does sounds like a nice book. I haven’t finished mine yet, but I’m reading a travel book by a Belgian journalist about Canada. He seems to be doing nothing much but ride buses and act all suprised and innocent all the time, whereas he sneakily tries to insert his conceited preconceptions.
I’m also reading Atomised by Michel Houellebecq. It’s over the top, sadistic, grossly oversexed, and will probably turn out as a French provincial version of American Psycho. The author seems like a twat.
See how these are not nice books? Still, I’m enjoying them : -) and will review them on my blog later perhaps.
A little while ago I finished reading How to Make Love to a Porn Star: The Jenna Jameson Story. Pretty long and pretty much what you’d expect from a porn star but fairly entertaining regardless.
Right now I’m reading “Firewall” by Andy McNabb — former member of the British SAS. It reads quite well with some amazing attention to details. Because of his past with the SAS he draws a lot from personal experience.
The first book I read of his, “Bravo Two Zero”, was a true story of his experience in Iraq. You should give that a read as well.
I just finished Song of Susannah from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Reading Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein, Book One: Prodigal Son now. In between those I’m reading and enjoying CSS Mastery (Andy Budd) and Layout Workbook (Kristin Cullen).
I also recently updated my LibraryThing list with some new book purchases.
It’s a little bit hardcore, but I’m in the middle of Stocks Bonds Options Futures. It’s a really good overview to investment banking!
I will say this, there is an awful lot of variety in this discussion. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
