I’m currently working through the idea of “enough,” and not wanting for anything. Our society thrives on making us believe we need more of everything—more goods, more time, more love, etc. So far, it’s kept me from buying crap for a week. Have any articles, books, or podcasts you recommend on this concept?

I am enough, and I have enough!!

There’s a documentary on Netflix called “The Minimalists: Less is Now” and I really enjoyed it and actually ended up watching it twice. It’s only about 65 minutes so not a big time commitment. It talks a lot about this—not just minimalism in terms of things but how it impacts the way you experience life and relationships. They also have a blog and a podcast if you end up liking the documentary.

Ah, yes, I started listening to their podcast some. I didn’t know they have a doc though. Thank you!!

Hello all, I’m planning for a career switch. As I’m currently in Finance sector and planning to quit my job and to start my career in IT Hardware companies like: HP, Dell and Lenovo etc.. Before taking this jump I want to know how is the career growth in IT Hardware, how is the promotion structure in such companies. I personally don’t like my present job as it doesn’t relate any part of my interest.

Is it me or do people don’t know how to write test cases? Or understand what pre-requisites are?

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
