Here are some of the things I did.

I recently took a break from blogging (both writing and reading). To put this into perspective, I follow about 160 blogs. About half of those are very much work related. I was probably spending about an hour per day reading and maybe another hour per day writing my own blog posts or responding to others.

After yesterday’s “not feelin’ it” post, I tried to make sure I rested well last night. It worked ok. This weekend will hopefully cap off charging my batteries.
Today I have a few meetings that will take up about half my day. That’s common on Mondays or Fridays because that’s when our consultants try to be in [...]

This morning, during my bus ride to work, several passengers were smirking and pretending not to listen to the cell pone conversation of a younger person and his friend. This boy was about 13 or 14 years old. Cell phones and text messaging are a normal part of his life. “No, dude! I send hella-text [...]

UPDATE: I moved my comments from the end of this post to the beginning. The report is still quoted below.
I found this report via Doc Searls. (He’s #95 on the list.)

I write this knowing that I am currently in the middle of my JobHunt. Well, actually, I’m hopefully very near the end of this one! So, I decided to add this disclaimer here at the top of this post. I don’t want this to look like I am addressing any specific previous employer of mine, [...]
