The Greatest Things You May Be Wondering About

The greatest thing about the bathroom at work is the hot water faucet - turn it on full blast and it only gets warm and so you don't need to fiddle with the cold faucet to get the temperature right - it just works at the optimum temperature.

The greatest thing about Monty's trip to the vet was the deranged and happy look he had when he was delivered back to me after being restrained so he could have an x-ray.

The greatest thing about dinner tonight was the chicken pot pie.

The greatest thing about work today was getting a big fat document out the door and delivered to the big fat client.

The greatest thing about waking up today was that it was 5:40 am and I knew I had another hour and a half to sleep.

The greatest thing about now is that I can do a little reading before I go to bed.

If you are wondering about the Harvard Business School Press article I devoured at lunch that I'd read it 5 times before, then wonder no more. (PDF file)

If you are wondering why meditate, then watch this and wonder no more.

If you are wondering what the current weather conditions on Toronto Island are - we overlook the airport - then wonder no more.

If you are wondering what Microsoft's latest releases are, then wonder no more.

If you are wondering about Vipassana meditation techniques, then wonder no more.

If you are wondering about 14 Key Principles for Project Management Success, then wonder no more.

If you are wondering about an easy way to improve your status and reputation at work, then wonder no more.

Kilgore Trout's unwritten reply to the question "What is the purpose of life?" was:

To be
the eyes
and ears
and conscience
of the Creator of the Universe,
you fool.

So it goes.
