Blasted insomnia. Must get some sleep. Especially in the state I’m in, with my conscious mind so unguarded, I could buy an Apple iPod without really meaning to do it. A 10-gigger. Must resist urge.

Especially with my set-back. I mean, I had a third of a year’s salary before 15 April, but now, who knows? I should. I should pick up Quicken Deluxe. Argh, there I go again.

I mean, three and a half years on the job and all I have is a third of a year’s pay in the bank? Oh, wait. That’s last year’s salary, not the earlier, which was much much less. Be grateful, be grateful, slow down, don’t friggin’ move that mouse to the Apple Store window.... :.(

Willa Cather. "There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]

Another quote applicable to the consultant’s life. The one following is something I should keep in mind, with my tendency to overemphasize the how.

George S. Patton. "Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]

Huh. Got moderator status on Slashdot again, and I haven’t more than glanced at the headlines for the last week. Go figure.
