A wise man once said, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Because you'll get fired for doing what you love, rather than doing your job."
As luck would have it, that leads us nicely into this week's blog post, which is also on the theme of jobs.
1) Thankfully, I've worked at several companies with hard-working managers who do a good job. However, I've worked at the occasional place like this...
"Due to cutbacks, we're going to have to fire Dave."

Random thoughts (part 14)
Every now and again on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, I like to post about random unconnected subjects, and today is one such occasion.
To start things off, here's a thought on the transformation of fairy tales over the ages.
1) Fairy tales used to start with, "Once upon a time..."
Nowadays, fairy tales begin with, "According to experts..."
2) I want to be a billionaire like my dad.
He wants to become a billionaire too.

Silly tautologies (part 6)
I'm absolutely certain, one hundred percent sure, without a doubt that a tautology could be described as 'needless repetition'. In fact I used a tautology right there in my opening sentence!
Or if you were more technically minded, you might describe a tautology as a 'repetition of truth', but that's basically the same thing.
Anyway, rather conveniently, tautologies are the subject of this week's blog post.
New innovations are so much better than old innovations!
To be serious for a brief moment, an innovation is a fresh concept or a new idea, so you can't have an old innovation.
And that leads us into the next tautology...
