This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

        The little things get me worse than real tragedies. Tragedy brings what's important into focus and I slip into crisis management mode. Small thing adds to a pile that big thing makes irrelevant.

        Yeah this is hard to model. I think I hold it together in a crisis too, but then a small thing will probably level me that pre-crisis I’d laugh off.

        I sobbed after working through an expensive HSA issue this past week, so I'm probably between tax audit and serious illness.

        For how long? I’d probably feel that way if I lost my phone... but only for an hour. However, if I was diagnosed with terminal cancer...
