Computer related:

  • Don’t be your family computer savy guy, you just found yourself a bunch payless jobs…
  • Long desks are cool and all, but the amount the space they occupy is not worth it.
  • Block work related phone calls at weekends, being disturbed at your leisure for things that could be resolved on Mondays will sour your day.

Buying stuff:

  • There is expensive because of brand and expensive because of material quality, do your research.
  • Buck buying is underrated, save yourself a few bucks, pile that toilet paper until the ceiling is you must.
  • Second hand/broken often means never cleaned, lubricated or with easy fixable problem.

    Reminds me that this is the same logic I use on the road.

    As a motorcycle rider I’ve become a very cautious car driver.

    I’m a paranoid driver and I always assume that people on the road are always going to do something stupid. I’m wrong most of the time and I don’t mind that but whenever I happen to avoid an accident because I was too careful, it reminds me why I’m always paranoid.

      This is my rule for being a pedestrian in/near roads: assume everyone driving a car is texting and driving. Legally, does the car have to stop for you when you’re in the crosswalk? Yeah. But who is going to have a worse time if they don’t?

      Sad that I have to have the rule but it definitely has helped me a few times.
