tax that fellow behind the tree
who knows why they call it “playing hooky,” but i don’t think it really counts if you give notice a week in advance, and it’s so you can go get your taxes done on the last possible day before bad things happen.
and now that i double-check, the last possible day is actually monday. so i guess i am really getting my taxes done early this year.

“i get very infatuated with people i come in contact with every day. someone i work with, someone i see regularly, someone i don’t even talk to. i develop ‘crushes’ on almost anyone mildly attractive or interesting, with no real reason. it always last for long periods of time and it’s pretty pathetic really. my way of dealing with it is to never act on it and never discuss it in any way, with anyone, ever.” — “puke & cry” answering a question about crushes on askmefi.

“It is a myth that people resist change. People resist what other people make them do, not what they themselves choose to do. . . . That’s why companies that innovate successfully year after year seek their people’s ideas, let them initiate new projects and encourage more experiments.” Rosabeth Moss Kanter, in The Vineyard Gazette, sometime during the summer, 1997 (from isenberg’s favorite quotes)
