New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Congratulations on starting fresh with the wisdom you didn't have the last time you started fresh.
Some days that job is going to make him question his life choices, and that's just the math of it.
May the project run so late that he remembers fondly the simpler era of being unemployed.
Some mornings he'll look at the alarm clock like it personally insulted his ancestors.
There's a particular Tuesday in every job where you'd happily trade the salary for a long nap.
