vacation

Posted on 5 April 20144 April 2014 By antipaucity 2 Comments on vacation

This CNBC story caused quite a bit of discussion on my Facebook wall this week. In short, Americans don’t take all the time off they can, and many don’t even take any. I didn’t used to take much, either – but have since changed my view on the matter. There seem to be a variety…

yay for vacations

Posted on 8 December 20088 December 2008 By antipaucity 3 Comments on yay for vacations

I just had a great week. From the afternoon (UTC) of 28 Nov through the afternoon (EST) of 7 Dec, I had no internet access. And until 0100 (EST) of 7 Dec, I had no access to my phone. It was phenomenal. And I didn’t miss anything “important”, either. This is the first multi-day break…

they asked the right question

Posted on 11 January 20185 August 2021 By antipaucity No Comments on they asked the right question

And it’s not at all dissimilar from what a lot of budding consultants think they are going to do when either joining a services organization, or starting their own business. I have been fortunate…

7 things employees wish they could tell their boss about salaries

Posted on 17 August 201415 August 2014 By antipaucity No Comments on 7 things employees wish they could tell their boss about salaries

LinkedIn had an interesting article Friday whose title I snagged for this blog post. The 7 items are: We don’t care about pay scales Forget policies. We talk. We think about our pay a lot. We will sometimes let you take advantage. When we have to negotiate … we both lose. No matter how much we earn,…

a week without facebook…

Posted on 6 March 20146 March 2014 By antipaucity 1 Comment on a week without facebook…

…and a week to go. Normally, I take about one big break for the book of the face every year – generally when my wife and I take a vacation somewhere 🙂 This year we’re upping the ante: while home – and accessible via SMS, email, Twitter, phone, Google+, etc – I’m on a two…
