The food thing is so much more socially acceptable. Sometimes I’d be right there, sitting at the gate, watching the clock, but the clock is just more numbers, and still I’d miss the flight. I have always found that my struggles have made me more humble and compassionate. I bring my VIN number to the window where the lady is.

You don’t ask for more money because you don’t believe in your own value. The more people you find who are like you, the more you can connect with others and feel okay with who you are, and then you believe in yourself and you start to move on. And, in an information economy, you can’t have a more important tool than that.

People spend more time thinking about answers than questions, but it’s the questions that make you look smart. And the answer is to ask much more insightful questions than that one.

So I figure that maybe I'd have a more popular blog if I published my sucky poetry. The world provides a mirror for us to see ourselves more clearly, if we give the world a chance to reflect back to us what is there. Lean into the pain, embrace it, breathe more. And I don't need to tell you she is no poetic genius.

The farmer likes that idea more than the chores one because he doesn’t know about cheese so I don’t bug him about it.

Just like thinking "classical music" is more authentic than new music. I guess I've been at my CareerJockey.org thing so long I was expecting more.

I get my own story out, the way I want it, on my blog. More than feeling compelled to justify myself to your audience, I feel compelled to protect my schedule and my family from your intrusive calls and seemingly random deadlines. I used to work in it and can't bear it any more. But for now, I’m exhausted. Just quickly.
