Now I know that not all corporations are like this, but I am sure I am not the only one who will laugh their ass off when they take a look at this comic. Maybe you should reassess what your current job or career is if this is comic isn’t to far from the truth in displaying your viewpoints about the glory that is your cubicle work
One of the first questions people asked me when I was moving to Texas was what I was going to be doing for work. They would ask questions like, “who is your employer?” “Who do you want to work for?” “Do you have a job lined up?” While these questions didn’t bother me much at first, they soon became slight scratches against the chalkboard of my mind after hearing them repeated about 100 times. Why is it that everyone attaches a new experience like moving out of state to a job? Is it because we are getting involved in more careers that are benefiting society and help the common man? Or is it because everyone wants to know if you have something lined up because if you don’t you will likely fall on your face?
I have finally unpacked my computer and gotten most of my affairs in order and I am ready to prepare for the marvelous occasion that is the one year anniversary of this website. Truly epic that my website’s first steps out of its diaper ridden existence co-inside with my move to Texas. Not only am I happy that this move is finally over, I am pumped full of endorphins, energy, life force, crack, whatever you want to call it, and ready to kick start this new chapter of my life to the heights of awesomeness. And while it may seem that I am in a drug induced state of mind, I can assure you that I am merely euphoric beyond any account, and if you happen to live in the Texas area, I would be more than happy to share some of my love with you (read: females only need apply). I have some great articles in store for everyone and I look forward to reconnecting with everyone out there who is still bothering to listen to what I have to say after one year Cheers Gabriel
After I watched this video, I knew I had to post it up even during all the chaos of me getting situated out where everything is bigger. Definitely give this a watch if you have ever played a video game and especially if you have ever made the mistake of installing a MMORPG on your computer (If you don’t know what it is, trust me you don’t want to). More awesome posts coming soon after the dust in my life settles a bit Cheers Gabriel
7 states, 1600 miles, and countless adventures later, I have arrived in Austin, Texas for the next chapter in the ridiculous book that is my life. I have a lot to say but I am tired as %^&* and will talk about it this week as I run around and try to find my shit which I seem to have lost Cheers Gabriel
Well it has finally happened, the shit has hit the fan, all hell has broken loose, whatever the hell you want to call it, I am moving out of the midwest and making the long trek down to the dirty south tomorrow morning . Currently I am tired as hell, still knee deep in various odds and ends to take care of, and totally pumped to get down there. I will be making a few notable stops in Memphis and Nashville just because I can. Words cannot express how much I have been waiting for this moment to happen, I feel as if every Christmas I have ever experienced is being wrapped into one single adventure. I will update you all as soon as my trip gets underway, and of course offer and article of a bit more substance. Cowboy hats and country music galore. Gabriel
I was driving around today running a bunch of mindless errands and having a bit of a nostalgia trip before I permanently vacate the Midwest next week and I began to ponder the idea of having friends and enemies in life. Instantly I was transported into every Tom Clancy book ever created and quickly realized that the saying, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” is not only one of the most used phrases in any form of media, but it holds a level of truth to it that many people don’t even realize. So clearly I have way too much free time in order to ponder the ramblings of some retired naval officer, but alas it makes for a great article. Why is it so great? Because I damn well say it is. But seriously, what is the first thing you think of when you read that ubiquitous statement? Do you think about how you should always be breathing down the neck of the people you dislike in life? Does it remind you about how you should have a close relationship with everyone in your life? Does the statement itself anger you to no ends because you are tired as hell of hearing someone state it in every Steven Segal movie? All of them are excellent stances, but not exactly the kickass conclusion I came to. Continue reading Wtf Does Keep Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer Mean?
Ever had a goal that you were literally obsessing over? Like to the point where is someone were to come p to you and say you were wrong you wouldn’t just tune them out, you would likely attack them like a piece of cake at a fat camp? I know I have. There have literally been moments in my life where I would totally zone everything else in my life out in order to focus specifically on achieving a goal. I literally would have girlfriends, family members, and my cat wondering, “What the hell is going on?” Unhealthy? Maybe. Effective? Hell yes. Now the funny thing is that many of these goals that we create end up being short-lived, but not for the reasons that you are likely contemplating. I am not talking about getting some great goal and then quitting because you can’t make the cut, I’m talking about when you create a goal and look back at it a week later, a month, or ever a year and say to yourself, “Wtf was I thinking?” Fear not, you are not some underachieving dweeb you cant get enough mental leverage in their life to lift a paper clip, you just found yourself looking at a goal that has lost its luster and needs some serious retuning.
Great stuff from the all mighty and powerful internet gods. Let me know what you think about this image in the comments.
Cheers Gabriel
Crazy times would be the easiest way for me to define how my life has currently unfolding. Between prepping to move out west and arranging my entire life into a handful of boxes in order to best begin my new minimalist and/or crazed hippie lifestyle change, lets just say that shit is changing, and its changing fast. In Lou of all this controlled insanity, one of the big areas of my life that has grown in interest (and importance) to myself is that of personal finance. I know that there are a million and one finance blogs on the Internet, and to be totally honest they all pretty much point to the exact same style of advice with only minor discrepancies. Since you are all more than capable of typing “personal finance blog” into google and walking into a cluster fuck of good resources, I will not bore you with the semantics of my financial endeavours. Instead I will offer the last route and direct you to some of my favorite quotes on finance by some of the most well respected gurus in the financial industry. Have fun counting your pennies If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. Money is like an arm or leg – use it or lose it.
In all realms of life it takes courage to stretch your limits, express your power, and fulfill your potential… it’s no different in the financial realm. Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
My son is now an “entrepreneur.” That’s what you’re called when you don’t have a job.
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. If you’re not serving the customer, you’d better be serving someone who is. I think that our fundamental belief is that for us growth is a way of life and we have to grow at all times. Always think outside the box and embrace opportunities that appear, wherever they might be. |
