OK, I did it today. Acted on my gut feel. And apparently, I'm not as rational as I thought I am, as someone pointed out today. This is what I've always done.

I thought that I've done a pretty good job of letting my head lead but I guess that's not quite true since I'm absolutely dying to act on impulse right now...

I thought we've evolved in the familiarity with and role of the Internet in our lives. Apparently not. Since I never cease to come across the strangest, most basic questions in my line of work.
Seriously, do I still need to pepper my marketing messages with "click here", "click here to do this or that"? When I send you an email with distinctly coloured text-links for the call to action and name of service, would you not know to click on the "sign up" text-link? Especially when 99% of the other people have no problems with it.

Dealt with my first, and hopefully last, case of sexual harassment with an errant staff today. While the women did not lodge formal complaints, we had to sit the person down for a verbal warning to prevent future similar happenings. Such delicate handling it required. Goodness! As the Chinese saying goes, why would anyone shit where they eat?

Wonderful. From scratching the character marks off my keyboard to actually popping a letter off my keyboard today, I am simply too violent with my keyboard

I don't think I'm a worrywart. I believe that worries are just a waste of resources that produce wrinkles and gray hair.
Yet, in our mid-20s, some friends and I had what we termed as quarter-life crisis as we pondered the goals and direction of our life. And amidst all that serious discussion,we joked about this new affliction to strike our generation.
And now, I discover another new crisis -- the pre mid-life crisis. Unfortunately, there is nothing to joke about now. Unlike those earlier years, more seem to be at stake now as I grapple with what I want in life. The window is narrower and the impact of the decision harsher.
This is not a good time.
