Pointless Advice

Sometimes the deepest form of meditation...

Is taking good shit in your own toilet

Alone, quiet, nothing else
No smartphone, no magazine or otherwise

Just “let go”

And after, you may feel the toxins leave your body
Maybe even your mind

 

Commit to less.

 

I’m having a hard time watching Alien Covenant

Not because of the gore or horror
Because of the stupidity

Uhh, universal precautions??
Quarantine protocol

Sure, let’s just land on a random planet
And trounce around with not even a mask or gloves

Yes, I know sci-fi does this all the time
But I’ve just gotten real over the years

Hell, at least in Star Wars they’ve already explored and populated the locales
And Star Trek the can teleport in and out
And clean them up during the teleport or put them directly into sick bay

But basically stumbling into things...as professionals
No excuse

But I see stupid in cybersecurity all the time.
And being aware saves me woe, even if I’m in target areas.

People...come on, think

 

Choose to place your money where it can make the most difference.

Rather than spending stupid money making pointlessly cutesy valentines or purchasing nutritionally deficient foods for the school valentine's party, I spent a buck on My Little Pony valentines for my daughter (since writing her name on Valentines to hand out was her homework), and bought the teacher a $20 credit for the book fair so she could get some of the new books she wanted for the classroom. The parent volunteers at the book fair suggested that I hand the note about the credit to the teacher in person. I did. She was shocked to see me, and gushed over that tiny slip of paper with $20 written on it.

Typing up meeting notes and sending them out to meeting participants is a refreshing exercise. I recommend doing it, even if no one asks.
