Music Monday – “Should five percent appear too small/Be thankful I don’t take it all/’Cause I’m the taxman/Yeah, I’m the taxman.”

“Taxman” – The Beatles

Secular Sunday – Are You In The Game or Playing The Game?

Easily one of my favourite posters on TikTok.  This theory has a bit of the Red Pill/Blue Pill stuff that’s from the Matrix but in a less incel/nihlistic way of looking at things – more like “You know this is all not real.  It has no meaning.  So just enjoying playing the game.” @nononsensespirituality #nononsensespirituality […]

Friday Fun Link – “Oh Poop!” A Modern Illustrated Fairy Tale

With some help from ChatGPT, I/we wrote the following fairy tale… (Any resemblence to people, places or things living or on life support, is purely coincidental.)

It’s an ongoing debate about whether it’s better for managers to have direct frontline experience in their past or if a “good manager is a good manager” whether they’re selling insurance, dish soap or running a public library. We’re lucky in Saskatchewan that our province (and I believe BC) are the only provinces that require […]
