I was really struck by the book, Abolishing the Performance Review , by S amuel Culbert , professor at the UCLA school of business. What you pointed out is crucial, not just to better performance but to keeping relationships strong. You can’t shortcut it by adding quality to the front. Needless to say the 35 year friendship has ended.

I made an effort to see museums and theatre because I never knew if I would be back. I don't regret it.

I think too often we are so worried about accomplishing as many tasks as we can that we don't focus enough on the task that is right in front of us. Have you ever stopped to think about how much of your day is taken up dealing with other people's inadequacies or the lack of other people to successfully perform their job?!?

Penelope, your true and accomplished voice at this time is writing.

I'm thinking specifically writing vs. webinars. They aren't going away any time soon.

I'm sure you aren't selling such a caveman notion, but your comment reads like you believe sex is a duty women perform without any enjoyment for themselves.

Here's my stance on happiness and choices: For as long as I can remember, everyone in my life has been telling me that I am wonderful and that I can do and accomplish absolutely anything I want in life. We look at others and their "happy buttons" and wonder how to make our "happy buttons" perform the same function.

Sorry to be a downer but creativity in the workplace is highly overated and tough to accomplish. Incredibly successful people, in addition to having more successes, also have WAY more failures than people performing at the "normal" level. Leave my job you say for a more creative one?

Your employer is not interested in your profile on Facebook because it doesn’t reveal anything about how you perform at work—it reveals what you’re like at a party. But when watching TV or in a darkened movie theater, intimacy is so much simpler to accomplish. So this is why I’m comfortable posting photos of my kids here.
