Reddit is a website that I enjoy reading and have been on it for ages. I do not always post, but do on occasion when I have something relevant to say. Yesterday I was reading a post about someone who wanted to leave their current job for another opportunity but they were hesitant to leave…
I have been lucky throughout my career that for the most part the leaders that I have reported to have been excellent. Generally I have been provided freedom to work how I want and provided leeway to do things the way that I want to. I am not always one that abides by the rules…
Last night I tried my experiment of not eating or drinking and trying to sleep through the night. That did not work as I am still going to the washroom every couple of hours, regardless of whether it is night or day. I think that the one consolation though is that I am actually getting…

In case people are wondering, the titles for my posts sometimes come from songs that I happen to be listening to. This one is a random song that happens to be playing at the time and it is not really reflective of anything else. The patterns from chemo are starting to come back, but as…
