QFTD, 6/20/13

From Manager Tools email “Things I Think I Think”.

If you don’t know exactly how your work is noted and valued by a paying customer, you’re not thinking clearly, or you’re too far away from the customer.

Quoting Drucker: Results only exist on the outside. Inside an enterprise, there are only costs.

This applies to both for-profit and non-profit enterprises.

Thought for the day, 3/18/13

There is no “x” in “espresso” … but then again there is no “t” in “pizza” either.

“Work spouse”

I ran into this phrase in a Think Geek ad, Googled it, and found this:

“One source characterizes the relationships as “platonic, close, opposite-sex couplings, with no romantic strings attached.””

Let me just say, I’m happy that my “work spouse” is my actual spouse. (And, just to be clear, it’s non-platonic and there are romantic strings attached! 🙂 I <3 working from home!

QFTD, 2/26/13

“My love of pi is irrational.”

I love the subtitle of The Straight Dope

The Straight Dope

Fighting Ignorance Since 1973

(It’s taking longer than we thought.)

Hahahaha.

Some people have too much time on their hands

And/or they’re amazing. Take your pick.

(Yet) another reason to avoid Glenn Beck

… not that I needed one.

Dramatic reading

My wife is a bit of a weather geek. So while I was surfing xkcd this evening, I did a dramatic reading of http://xkcd.com/1126/, The Saga Of Epsilon And Zeta. A good time was had by all.
