Life in Houston is slowly coming around to normal. The only problems I run into now are traffic related. The 4-way stop issue is a mess. People are out right idiots in their cars. I’ve already seen 4 accidents because no one takes the time to think about whose turn it is to go. Its nerve wracking driving to my office. I even thought about just staying home and working from their but I know I won’t get much done from there. The XBOX calls like a siren’s song.
Also, gassing up is a huge hassle. I finally was able to wait in line for about 45 minutes to get gas. Just when it was my turn to pulling to the gas station and get a pump, some woman on her cell phone, chatting away, pulls in front of me and get’s in line. Well, needless to say, I was a bit miffed. I pulled up next to her, got out and rapped on her window. “You just cut all those people in line who’ve been waiting for almost an hour.” She looked at me like I was crazy.
“Oh…I didn’t know.” Didn’t know!? Every gas station that is open in Houston has huge lines and she thinks that this gas station in the heart of the city has no wait!
“Are you kidding me?” I asked “Get to the back of the line” I pointed to the long line down the street. She pulled away and the dozen or so people who were pumping gas at the time all applauded and cheered. That was pretty cool. While I was pumping gas the guy waiting behind me thanked me for looking out for everyone.
So not everyone is crazy I guess…on to the search terms:
hollywood failures – Man are there a bunch of these. Most people in Hollywood are failures of some type. And every star has had a failure at one point or another. You could write a whole blog just on that!
pringles on a human – What in the name of all that is holy is this person looking for?? Sounds like a weird food fetish to me. I’m sure there is a whole website in Japan devoted to this. Creepy.
what makes a workplace productive – You need to have me come out and present my training program Creating a Productive and Satisfying Workplace. Feel free to call my office or email me for pricing and scheduling!
negative thinking in the work place – I’ve done a series of posts called Workplace Wednesdays that deal with job specific ways negative thinking can be helpful. I should do more but my schedule hasn’t allowed it. If you have any suggestions on a specific occupation, let me know and I’ll be glad to post it!
” reverse engineering your life” – This sounds nefarious and makes me believe evil scientists exist out there to develop death rays, clones and manimals. Listen, Dr. Moreau, you leave me out of your plans. I don’t need the FBI coming here and asking me all kinds of questions! I watch Fringe…I know what you’re capable of!!
feed negativity – Finally we have this little nugget. Negativity isn’t something we should feed. It is something that should be accepted and managed. I’m not out to make negative thinking the “new” way of doing things. I’m out there to show you the value in negative thoughts so you can be productive in your life regardless of your attitude and emotional state. I want you to be successful. And when you have those off days, or your just geared towards on disposition, it can be difficult to change. I say “Why change if you can use what you already got?” Good luck changing, but all that effort can cause more stress and eat up valuable time when you could use the value of those negative thoughts and solve problems, avoid catastrophes and just be plain productive!
Be positive…Think negative!

My company used to do a program called “Customer Re-Orientation Program.” I don’t know what the objective of this program was, but it sounds an awful lot to me like brainwashing. That can’t be good. Just sayin…
