death suicide hard-work
In case the rest of you missed it, the inspirational speech was: 'If you work hard, you can achieve great things. And then you die'.
death suicide serial-killer
Lately, the only thing keeping me from being a serial killer is my distaste for manual labor.
death suicide perfect
You might argue that my example is bad because Einstein is dead. But according to physicist Erwin Schrodinger, Einstein is neither dead nor alive until we dig him up and open the casket. If he's alive, he might want his brain back, which I understand is in a Ziplock bag in some guy's freezer. And this is a perfect example of why examples always distract from the main point.
death suicide festivals
He was deader than a shrunken head at a Hackey Sack festival.

The computer cuts my production time in half. I love it.

The longer you work here, diverse it gets.
creativity trying stuff
I try to manage my day by my circadian rhythms because the creativity is such an elusive thing, and I could easily just stomp over it doing my administrative stuff.
thinking voice long
I think 'Dilbert' will remain popular as long as employees are frustrated and they fear the consequences of complaining too loudly. 'Dilbert' is the designated voice of discontent for the workplace. I never planned it that way. It just happened.
creativity people cubicles
In fact, most people are being squeezed in their little cubicle, and their creativity is forced out elsewhere, because the company can't use it. The company is organized to get rid of variants.
drawing hands fancy
I burned out my drawing hand by using it too much. The common word for it is writer's cramp. The fancy words for it are focal dystonia. The symptom in my case was a pinky finger that went spastic when I tried to draw.
entrepreneur would-be cartoonist
I've always defined myself not as a cartoonist , but as an entrepreneur. That was true before I tried cartooning. I always imagined cartooning would be how I got my seed capital. I always thought my other businesses would be the less dominant part of my life.
