A side-job roller-coaster

Michael Baird August 29th, 2005

I occasionally do some side jobs to help with bills and spending money. I have a few pretty steady side clients that actually prefer to work with me rather than anyone else, which I am proud of. What I don’t understand though is sometimes a month can pass by and I don’t hear from any of them, then all of a sudden i get a call from each of them within a few hours time…like today.

I had all last weak off, enjoyed spending time with my wonderful wife and relaxing, but I did have some free time where I could have used the time to work on some of this stuff, but instead everyone decided to call me on my first day back at my full-time job.

I’m not complaining though, I just think its interesting. I guess its like the old saying…how does it go?
Catholic school girls can’t be tamed…oh no, sorry its…when it rains it pours.

bored? got ice? make fire.

If you ever find yourself stranded on the sorth pole use this technique to make fire from ice and set a penguin on fire.

Always in a constant search to hack your physical environment? Give this a shot next time you are too lazy to take the stairs.

While some elevators require a key, others can be put into “Express” mode by pressing the “Door Close” and “Floor” buttons at the same time. This sweeps the car to the floor of your choice and avoids stops at any other floor.
