Totem Pole – Podcast
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes The word totem is derived from the Ojibwe word odoodem, “his kinship group”. The way cats use the word totem pole nowadays is to say they are at a lower rank. In reality to worry about where you are on another person’s plantation is useless. To worry about other groups and what they are doing in comparison to you is stupid. All this is misdirection that people who feel ...

White Lies – Update
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes Yep I quit and now I start the next plantation probably monday. I’ve been out of the game so long I didn’t know that mawfuckers had to take piss tests so much. In logistics and international trade there are a lot of cats doing drugs so I expected something but damn I’m running out of pee! So Friday morning I got in early and started doing my job then ...

Little White Lies
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes When you start negotiating your positions on the plantation instead of accepting your positions you’ll notice something. What I noticed is whomever is in charge will lie to you in your face to keep you satisfied. They will tell you that something great is around the corner, some opportunity or some promotion they were considering you for. They will tell you they have big plans for you and they ...

Same Forty
Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes Right now the majority of people around me think I got a pretty good gig. I mean I get to collect a check and keep the company going. It’s down the street from my house. I go home on lunch damn near everyday and I don’t spend hardly any money. I mean this is what I said I wanted when I plotted how to get a job on the ...

Trix are for Kids
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes It’s funny to me when I go on interviews and people keep talking about opportunity. I know I have a different perspective now since I don’t feel they will ever give me true opportunity. I know I must sound and look like a asshole as I only want to talk about the money and my responsibilities. I have blown probably 10 interviews all because I know tricks are for ...

Mission Creep – Podcast
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes Mission creep is the expansion of a project or mission beyond its original goals, often after initial successes. Mission creep is usually considered undesirable due to the dangerous path of each success breeding more ambitious attempts, only stopping when a final, often catastrophic, failure occurs. When it comes to chips most people get on a roll and never secure their foundation. They move on and roll the dice over ...

The Rich are getting richer, while the Poor are getting Poorer – Money myth 17
Reading time: 2 – 4 minutes Statistics tell us that the top fifth of income earners in the US in 1995 took home 48% of the income in the country, up from 43% in 1980. Over the same period, the bottom fifth of income earners brought home 3.7%, down from 4.3%. If we look at the numbers, the rich ‘gained’ 5% while the poor ‘lost’ .6% of the pie. …of course, in 1980 the pie ...

Internal Struggle
Reading time: 3 – 5 minutes Now that I am back on the plantation interviewing I have come across more bullshit that I couldn’t have talked about before this moment. In my field I have done about everything anyone could ever do and I have my own business. I have been part of International Trade since I was in college. So that means I have unloaded trailers, drove forklifts, been on the ports and picked ...

If I really try to become rich and fail, I’ll be crushed – Money myth 16
Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes The unspoken part of this statement is that we’d rather never experience failure than expose ourselves to the remotest chance of success… and on it’s face, that sounds reasonable- until we poke a little bit at just what it is we’re afraid of- at which point it becomes manifest that what we’re afraid of is rooted firmly in unreality. If we try to learn how to ice skate and ...
