Some Holiday Downtime Ideas

2009-12-23T09:07:00.003-05:00

Here is a small list of a few 'easy' things to do over the next couple of days to keep you busy when your off work.

1. Clean out your inbox. If your like me at all, you will have 400,970,004 emails in your inbox about 89% of which are worthless. Take the time to file your emails. Make folders, its fun.

2. Unsubscribe to all your junk mail - while working on #1, unsubscribe from any junk mail you get on a regular basis. At the bottom should be a link. I strongly suggest using it and get off the list. Its a great feeling to wake up, turn on your personal email device and see that all of your emails are actually things you want.

3. Clean out your contacts. This goes double if your contacts sync with a personal device, like a blackberry. That guy you met at a tradeshow 5 years ago and arent even sure is still in the business. Delete it. Your bosses, bosees, wifes, boss who you had to email once. Delete it. The last thing you need is fully loaded phone ripe to be lost, and its a pain in the ass trying to find someone when you have 4300 contacts, 3/4 of which are not relevant anymore. Back them up somewhere, or keep the business card, lose the electronic contact

4. Tying to #3 - Email everyone on your contacts list and say hi. Just say your checking in. Nothing wrong with that, and its a good way to see if your contacts still work.

5. Complete a business plan. Even if your not in a 'business plan' type affair, its not a bad idea. Its like New Years Resoution ^5. Instead of I want to lose weight, you say I want to go to this gym, 3 days a week. I have a goal of losing 3 pounds a day, etc.... Make it granular and it will be easy to follow.

6. Review and revise your personal emergency plan. Do you have a plan? Do you know your spouses bank account #? What about where their 401K is? In a disaster, do you know where to meet? Does anyone have an extra key? What about secret passwords to accounts, codes to safes? Make a list of where all your accounts are, everything important, seal it up and put it someplace safe.

7. Clean out your closet. Its a great time of year to donate to salvation army or goodwill. If you havent worn it in years, chances are, your not going to. Make room for something new.

8. Clean your fridge/pantry. Still have that can of soup from 2002? Time to toss it. Check the expiration dates, and get rid of anything thats way past.

9. Cleaning out your office goes without saying. As well as the house and car. Start 2010 clean.

I take on the issue of breast awareness. Breast Cancer that is.

2009-03-30T13:08:00.001-04:00

I have taken to wearing a Pink Ribbon hat around town. No this has nothing to do with the pink kick I am currently on (and no that has nothing to do with living with J-Town for practically 2 years and having pink withdrawal). People will ask me if I had some 'connection' to breast cancer, or, when the hat is in my car, if it belongs to a girl.....

No, the answer is neither. The real answer is...that I am one of the biggest fans of boobs (obviously) ever, and I think we should do everything we can to keep them safe and sound for our viewing and enjoying pleasure! Granted, I really think more gals need to get excited about prostate cancer (then again, I am not sure I want anyone to offer to perform a check on me).

The point I am trying to make, is that everyone loves boobs.....girls love their boobs, and obviously guys love the girls boobs....the only people who dont like boobs are evil man-dykes, and who cares about them anyways...

So fellas....next time you have your mits on a pair of tits (that was a good one and all mine, if I catch that shit on another site, I will kick you in the shins), think about breast cancer, and how you can help, by donating something to charity

A new blog!
