I’ve always been a fan of flight. Watching birds migrate for the winter, seeing airplanes take off, watching clouds of gnats bounce in the breeze. It doesn’t really make a difference. Flying things intrigue me, they always have. So when this year’s Boy Scout Sub-in trip to OMSI was called off for a scheduling conflict,

IT wandered aimlessly down an alley, akin with the darkness and aimless in ITs tasks for the night. IT still didn’t fully understand not just what had happened, but what IT was at all.

How well can you follow directions? Not necessarily instructions provided with your new desktop computer, but directions in general.

Whether you’re looking for a new job or just refining your portfolio to attract new clients, it’s important that you itemize and monetize your accomplishments. “I helped to increase business” is less impressive than “I was directly responsible for $100k in new contracts.” At any given time, it might seem like your most prized accomplishments

I The wispy tendrils of someone else’s thoughts pulled at the edge of Richard’s thoughts. He could feel someone or something there, just beyond, but he couldn’t quite see them. They were hiding in the shadows, yet beckoning his consciousness to venture forth and join them. It was an ominous feeling, to have such a
