On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do you sing?

The musical scale I was taught only went to 8. Doh Ray Me Far So La Te Doh. I'd probably rank 'Far', seeing as there's no 'Lo' to go with the 'So'.

If you get it, drop a comment.

What's your favourite memory from the summer of '09?

Do you believe that employee loyalty still exists in today's work environment? How loyal are you as an employee to your company or boss?

In a position I held many years ago, I made the statement that I did what I did because I enjoyed what I did. A close friend of my guffawed and called "Bullshit! If they stopped paying you, would you still roll up?"

He was right then, and he's even more so today. Working for someone else is a transient experience, and should always be treated as such. It's an exchange of labour. You sell your labour to the employer who makes it most worth your while. If you adopt any other standpoint, you're leaving yourself open to exploitation, and believe me, employers who look to exploit employees outnumber fleas on the mangiest of dogs.

So? How are those resolutions going so far?

What resolutions? I've resolved not to resolve, in fact, I resolved not to resolve so many years ago that for years and years now, I've not felt like resolving at all. Ever! Dissolving occasionally, but resolving? NEVER!!!

Which 5 words would your best friend use to describe you?

What friend? I don't have any. It's better that way. No obligations, no back-stabbing and no people hanging off looking for hand-outs. If I DID have a friend?

"Who the fuck are you?"
