Stress is your body's way of saying you haven't worked enough unpaid overtime.

Highly intelligent and well-informed people disagree on every political issue. Therefore, intelligence and knowledge are useless for making decisions, because if any of that stuff helped, then all the smart people would have the same opinions. So use your "gut instinct" to make voting choices. That is exactly like being clueless, but with the added advantage that you'll feel as if your random vote preserved democracy.

My old life - no amount of getting used to it would have made it right.

Why aren't you signed up for the 401K? I'd never be able to run that far.

I discovered what I call the Bill Gates effect. That is, the more successful you are, the uglier you get.

The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage: management.

The best plan now is to have as many bosses as possible. I call it boss diversity. If you work for a company and you have one boss and that boss doesn't like you or wants to get rid of you, you're in trouble. But if you work for yourself, you have lots of bosses, who are your customers, and if a few of them decide they don't like you, that's okay.
