Proof of Heaven.

Catch-22 is a really entertaining read and relatable. You’ll meet real life versions of a lot of characters in the corporate world.

Brave New World and 1984/Animal Farm are good dystopian novels. I liked Brave New World the best out of those three.

The Story of Philosophy is a really good book to get a high level overview of important philosophical thought. Mostly focused on the Western philosophers though. Highly recommended for interesting ways of looking at the world

Hello plant fishes, need some help saving my myranta prayer plant. It was healthy and had around 15 leaves before it slowly started dying. I think it is either because I added fertilizer and it did not like it or because of underwatering when I was away traveling. I looked at the root system and didn't notice any rot. Anything I can do to save it? Thanks for your help!

Mid-year review time.

Are you meeting or exceeding your objectives?

I’m not talking about the objectives your manager set FOR YOU.

I’m talking about the goals YOU set for YOU.

- Finding work that fulfills you
- Joining the company that aligns with your values
- Getting paid what you’re worth

No one sets these for you. You do the work.

There’s still 201 days in 2022.
