Instant gratification

Instant gratification

Change. People change. Work changes. The world changes. Everything runs quicker and more efficiently. And as everything and everyone adapts to this change, perceptions change too. I want it perfect, and I want it now. But what does that mean you might say? In such a fast-paced environment (I wonder how many people considered another decade to be way faster than the previous ones), people are expected to achieve great results, to work more,...

#Compensating

#Compensating

The idea of compensating is not something that is new to me. At school, I was able to compensate a bad score through better scores in other classes, and ever since I got myself my new truck, people have been yanking my chain on how I must be compensating for a small junk. But only yesterday did I start to realize how much compensating people actually do, and I was hoping that you too, could see it. For a start, what do I consider...

Then try and visualize all the things that don’t work so well, and try to see if it’s due to a lack of skill...

At Quick, in my usual self, I insisted this mother from another line had been there first, so she came before me and pulled a Sally (Harry’s friend?...

Tempur

With a delivery that was 7 weeks late, I finally slept on my very own first Tempur matrass last night. I didn’t sleep all too thoroughly, a cigar or two too many, but when I first woke this morning, no back-ache! Will test it for a few more days, but so far, so good! (just avoid Meubles Oestreicher if you value my opinion )

Experts

To my IT and non-IT readers, here’s my latest. For 12 months, I’ve now had an HP PC at home. From day 1, I installed Ubuntu and it worked like a charm. Up until a month ago, where it would shut down whenever it reached a certain temperature. Luckily, within 12 months, there’s still a warranty to claim! So one (1) month of repairs later, the only obvious thing Hewlett Packard did was deleting all of my data (thanks a bunch)...
