    There is a great concept in the Bullet Journal Method (the actual method, not the Instagram arts and crafts stuff) that emphasises using the journals as a way of identifying and eliminating goals and tasks that aren’t that important to you and just add stress and noise to your life.






  • The situation was more like “Dear lawyer, your clients have committed a federal felony offense and they did it in such a sloppy manner that they didn’t even follow our standard document formatting. Drop the suit, have them pay our legal fees and a fine, and we won’t inform the US District Attorney and then ask the State Bar of Texas to look into whether you knowingly partook in this scheme”.

    I’m glad I’m near retirement. These sort of situations chip away at the soul.



  • Expat normally means someone living abroad but maintaining their citizenship and expecting to return to their home country eventually. This is often the case with situations like people deployed for a few years on a long term project. An immigrant is someone who has left their home country and resettled elsewhere with no plans of returning.

    Given those definitions, “migrant workers” should really be called expats but, you know, racism and xenophobia are a thing.
