Let me tell you a sad story. The story begins in a meeting room, where a group of people are sitting around and chatting about a document. In its current form, the document doesn’t allow for new processes and needs to be changed. Over gallons of coffee and chocolate, they decide that multiple documents need
This is a combo post written by Bill Szczytko and Peggy Hale: We weren’t fortunate enough to travel to Boston for NAA this year. Honestly, watching our Facebook friends post status updates about their travel and arrival at Logan Airport, photos from hotel room windows with great views (like Israel Carunungan’s) and not so great
“I grew afraid of the blank white screen with the flashing cursor.” You see that? I did it! Now I’m four sentences in! Can you believe it? You’re probably wondering what I’m talking about. That’s a fair thing to ask. Most of you saw the first sentence in this post as just a sentence, an
I’m glad you’re here. Been busy today? Here – have a cupcake. I baked them myself. It’s my birthday you know. Not the man behind the curtain’s no, no… his birthday was weeks ago. It’s my birthday – BSitko.com! I turn one. Aren’t you happy? Last year around this time, the curtain man typed his

“If we were all given by magic the power to read each other’s thoughts, I suppose the first effect would be to dissolve all friendships. ~Bertrand Russell We are all pathological liars. The average number of lies they say you’ll tell today is 4-7. Hard to get an indication of how reliable that data range
“Men have become the tools of their tools.” ~Henry David Thoreau The gears turned and it started a chain reaction which would ultimately lead to my demise. There’s always a chance it won’t. Something could misfire, the boot might miss the bucket or the blue pole with the hand might go awry, causing the metal
Complainers change their complaints, but they never reduce the amount of time spent in complaining. ~Mason Cooley I had to get an epidural last week. Feel free to insert a pregnancy joke here: “How many pounds was your baby?” or “Have any problem pushing the little sucker out?” Ha Ha, you’re all real hilarious. I
