]]> For several years, I have opted to do my own gardening. Well it’s not much of gardening at all if you imagine that I just do the lawn mowing and cleaning weeds. I get my enjoyment doing it because of several reasons. First, it’s a form of exercise. Second, it’s a way to get a break from work once in a while. Third, I enjoy being with nature. In reality, I am lousy at it. I spend most of my time zooming through the lawn like a crazed man. I wanted to finish the chore in the shortest amount of time, because deep inside, I think I rather do development than mowing the lawn, as much as I think I enjoy this. Usually it’s 30 minutes before we have to go somewhere. My wife usually complains when I left the lawn un-mowed for 2 weeks, for all the grasses sticking out, or it’d be about those weeds in the back.

]]> Heard from a colleague that on a project she’s on which the team has gone under tremendous stress that within the same week, she saw one lady was having a nose bleed while doing some data profiling work, one guy ran outside during a meeting because of chest pain, and another girl crying in the midst of a conversation.
