Reducing Stress the Negative Way!

January 31, 2008

We all get stressed. If you’re not stressed a little, you’re not trying. Stress, like negativity, is part of our daily lives and it’s how we cope with it that really defines what our life ultimately will look life. Are you constantly frazzled or are you understanding the causes and adjusting accordingly? Here are a [...]

Workplace Wednesday: Football (American Style)

January 30, 2008

With the Super Bowl fast approaching and the possibility of my favorite negative thinking team, my New England Patriots, attempting to go for a perfect season, I thought I’d throw the negative spotlight on Football. Not that sport the world calls football and Americans call “guys running around yet not scoring”. But real American football. [...]

What “Not” to do is Gaining Strength

January 28, 2008

Good to see “Negative Thinking” is seeping into the world. I saw two examples of it today. The first example is from CNN.com title “Worst things to say at work“. It’s basically a “What not to say” guidebook for dummies. Some of them are fairly obvious like “That’s not my job” and “It’s not my [...]

Failure Friday: Titanic

January 25, 2008

No, this is not the Titanic but the movie Titanic. Both were doomed from the start, but only one sank. If you remember, the industry was touting James Cameron’s a monumental flop, the next Waterworld. A bloated budget and out of control shooting schedule was sure to doom the famous ship twice. I’ll let Wikipedia [...]

The Power of the Interwebs

It’s no secret I’m not 100% thrilled with how kids act today. The entitlement, their over-inflated sense of self-worth, the fact they want respect for existing, not for anything they may have done or earned and the complete lack of understanding that actions have consequences. So it was with a hearty chuckle that I saw [...]

Workplace Wednesday: Parking Enforcement Officer

January 23, 2008

I’ve been sick lately and in my fever induced stupors I’ve been watching A&E’s Parking Wars. Talk about a job that you desperately need some negative thinking to not only do your job, but stay alive. Being a Parking Enforcement Officer (or as we call them: Meter Maids) is a thankless, job. Most people look [...]

Recession or responsibility?

January 22, 2008

With all the news about the economy floating out there, it’s time to look at our spending through negative thinking. Something people rarely WANT to do but always SHOULD be doing. From CNN.com: Across America, there are growing signs that consumers are worried about the weakening economy, which could slip into recession. While some say [...]

Liar, Liar

January 21, 2008

You look fantastic! Have you lost weight? You really should wear those pants more often. Suspicious yet? You’re probably wondering why I’m telling you all these things. Well, I’ll be honest. I’m lying. You don’t look fantastic. If you’ve lost weight, look behind you, you’ll find it where your small butt used to be. And [...]

Failure Friday: Cheese

January 18, 2008

Cheese, glorious cheese. Or so says the Dairy Council. But it is general believed that cheese was made by a failure in ancient milk storing practices. From Wikipedia.org: Since animal skins and inflated internal organs have, since ancient times, provided storage vessels for a range of foodstuffs, it is probable that the process of cheese [...]

Knowing what NOT to do will save your life!

January 17, 2008

Before I get to today’s post, I just wanted to celebrate some milestones that happened yesterday and today. This is my 100th post. If this was a sitcom, I’d be drooling over the possibilities of syndication! Woohoo! But it’s a blog and it’s been up for just over 6 months. Also yesterday the blog hit [...]
