Things that I’ve learn lately:
Hmm. You tell me if there is anything wrong here.
For those of you who came from my wife’s blog, feeling clueless on what is happening to her, fret not.
Please continue to pray for my wife’s safety. I hope I can be the….
An officer who went to help when a baby fell in a pool says she slipped in a puddle. Today, the baby cannot even swallow and lives in a rehabilitation home, and the cop decides to make matters work by suing.[ link here ]
Well, I am just stunned. I suppose that I shouldn’t be, but I am. It takes a certain amount of stupidity to purposely do something that will tarnish one’s reputation, but it takes even more than that to do it after having been advised, by people smarter than ones self.
Is it reasonable to for a knife maker to complain about getting cut? How many chefs have become obese? People all over the world deal with pain and suffering all day, every day, but the don’t go suing others who are dealing with arguably MORE suffering in order to gain some measure of financial gain.
Too bad her taser didn’t go off while she was in the puddle. 🙂
As if outsourcing a country’s labour and others to another country group of foreign trash talent is not bad enough, today, it’s the turn of the yanks in the endless quest towards outsourcing everything a soldier could do to a machine instead.
Over the weekend, I came across one interesting article.
When a romantic relationship ends, the emotional backlash for women can trigger brain changes visible on MRI scans, new research shows.
This new window into women’s grief sheds light on the connection between normal sadness, grief, and depression.
To me, women generally suffer more emotionally following the breakup of a romantic relationship than men. But it’s long been a question: Why does unresolved grief spiral into true clinical depression for some, yet others recover? Is grief purely a prelude to depression, or does it have a different quality that needs further research?
Women still grieving over the romantic relationship had the greatest brain changes, he reports. Although there was increased brain activity in many regions associated with sadness, they also had much less activity in the brain region associated with emotion, motivation, and attention…
Sad account for some women out there…
Backstabbing, closed doors, bullying, gossip, infighting, favouritism, grapevine, string pulling, buck passing, sucking up and blame-storming.
Whatever the expression, it’s all about politics. Most of us view office politics as a bad thing, creating stress and blocking productivity, but that’s not the complete picture.
In fact, I think office politics is a perfectly fair means of making organisations work. Politics is like the Force: it holds the universe together, but offers terrible power to those who are tempted by the dark side. And in our high-speed, high-stress offices, there are all too many Sith Lords with willing apprentices waiting to strike you down mercilessly. 🙂
If you want to avoid politics entirely, you’ll need to live on your own in a cabin in the middle of Tatooine. Unfortunately your nearest neighbours are likely to be Jawas or some other militamen, so you’ll have other problems to deal with there 🙂
Politics at its worst can be terrifically ugly. But at its benign best, politics is a social lubricant, allowing people to work together with minimal interpersonal friction. I believe that if we can understand the politics whizzing around us, we will be able to get the resources we need to do our job well. And definitely, you can defend yourself and your team in the event of a political disaster.
May the force be with you.
When a woman went into a Florida hospital to give birth to her child, she not only left with her baby, but also with a foot-long piece of gauze cloth inside her.

I was going to say something about frivolous lawsuits, but this account doesn’t qualify. As a direct result, she CAN’T HAVE ANY MORE BABIES. 2.4 million dollars seems pretty low and conservative considering how the impact of such things usually go. 🙁
If the doctor fucks up, paying a year’s salary should deter others from making the same mistake. It’s not as if any amount of money can repay her now.
This is a very sad episode.
