…you should always try to recruit people who are too good for the job. The reason I make this point is that young, uneducated, low achievers rarely persist through what they see as boredom in business to eventual success. Brighter, more intelligent employees don’t mind doing a boring job for six months because, provided their company has a culture where talent and commitment is rewarded, they know they will be given a better opportunity one day.

In for a Penny, A Business Adventure, pg 35

CR is currently reading this and just read this quote to me aloud. It’s a good one that I will remember if I ever feel that I am overqualified for something.

Yike Bike (via Melissa).  It folds up very small, but is still 23 pounds, which is about the same weight as my normal Dahon foldup bike. They are also about $5,000.

Pretty cool, but just another Segway?

I’m appalled to see the word “jeggings” actually in print, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to buy them.

Working while cat-sitting is proving more difficult than expected

My evil hope that Christian’s love for cats would be abated after cat-sitting for Patrick all week is backfiring. When he came home last night, the first thing he said was “KITTIES!!!”

Speaking of March 3rd, it's my two year Tumblrversary!

Two years ago today I tripped over my neighbor’s Hummer PowerWheels and wanted to complain about it online. The rest is history.

Even if concertgoers know about damage from loud music, few children are wearing protective gear at sporting events, parades or fireworks displays, or around high-decibel motorcycles and snowmobiles.


Want a Better Listener? Protect Those Ears (NYT)

My nephews’ parents are rock stars, so they know all about these baby ear protectors. When I was little and there was still an Air Force base in Plattsburgh, I slept in earmuffs with lambs on them to block out the planes. These probably work a little better.
I’m pretty sure if I end up with kids, they’ll be wearing these all the time, along with helmets and knee pads.

After several weeks of successful breadmaking, I got a little cocky and didn’t measure the yeast this time. The result is still edible, but a bit of a mutant.
