This title is way better. Designer + Man of Mystery are completely vague. His name, + his role, + his organization drew me to the headline. I like guns. I like mystery. The CIA is inherently mysterious. It has the opposite effect for me, th

That's why I refuse to do a single minute of overtime even if it is paid. I've told employers to fire me if they feel like I should be staying longer and none of them have yet. If I ever need to make up time or do extra work, it&#

There's something precious about the currency of sleep in the work place. It's non existent. You've never felt like you're dozing off for a minute and would kill to be in bed at that moment?

I've lost the ability to focus on a single task for hours at a time like I used to as a kid. Even if it excites me. My attention has been completely ruined by social media and I don't know how to recover. Always some sort of chat

"And even better, it lives in the cloud". Lost me here. I just want a solid desktop app that isn't a web wrapper or lives in the browser. I can't stand web apps to be honest. It's almost there, but it always feels l

With that mentality, I should just stay home in the fetal position because it's better than anything since I won't be spending a dime. Honestly, it's cheap as fuck. Have you met a regular person? Regular people go shopping ev

I like to look fashionable though. I already went through my $3/shirt, $35/outfit phase and it was great, but I've moved past it now. Those prices already are cheap. That's a $40/year jacket. I mean I guess I could

Summer or Winter? My argument is about Winter because it's Winter where I am.

My boots were $250 that I've had for 7 years now. Jacket $600 (going on 8 years), sweater 50, glasses 500 (going on 5 years), pants 50, other random shit. I rather buy super expensive quality items every decade than constantly shopping

I "portrayed" so hard that I was let go 3 months after starting because they thought I was much much better than I actually was. They judged me on my theoretical knowledge not my applied knowledge. Oh well at least I know I can ta
