3 Things

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

  1. I started drinking coffee when I was in elementary school.
  2. I’ve actually wanted to leave Phoenix several times but thus far it’s never quite worked out for me.
  3. I took a fancy version of shop in high school and learned how to read a schematic and built some cool stuff like a light bulb that turns on automatically in the dark. I could also tell you the amount of ohms in a transistor based on the color of the bands at the end of the transistor. I have no clue how to do any of that now.

This Better Get Better with Age

What do you think gets better with age?

With proper planning and luck, my retirement fund cause I don’t plan to stay in corporate life until death.

Semi alive roses in July in the desert- they’re skill kicking!

Gotta make sure I have time to smell these before they (or I) die.

Avoidance

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

Act busy to avoid getting more work assigned. If you’re already busy, act busier. Rinse and repeat. This also works if you want to avoid chatting with coworkers. If they want to ask you questions about work stuff, tell them to throw a meeting on your calendar. 90% of people from my experience will never willingly schedule a meeting but be prepared for the 10% that will. None of this is a guarantee of smooth sailing but it helps make the daily less rocky.

Good luck!
