Confined By The Open-Office Space 04/17/2016 I recently attended an open house. It was a small office with a newly designed open office space. It was quite attractive and everyone seemed to love it. Everyone except me. So, am I the only one? Am I the only one that really dislikes this office style? In my house, yes. I love an open floor plan. I don’t like to be confined by walls. I like it free-flowing. But in my house, well, that’s private. I can do whatever I want. I can say whatever I want and I can work in any manner that suits me.

Flawed Perception (AKA "The Waitress at GC Murphy") 04/15/2016 Perception is Always Flawed They say that eyes are windows to our soul. I believe that because to understand the nature of reality, we must be willing to look through those eyes to see what the soul uncovers. I grew up in a tiny, tiny rural town.
