The Bilz and Kashif – Sean Kingston Bollywood Girls (Remix)

I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but the voting is so close, the contest ends today and I’d like to give my boys a hand (I should have thought of this earlier)…

The Bilz and Kashif have really put Montreal on the map when it comes to this kind of music. See here and [...]

My Ideal Woman - 4 Years Later

Interesting coincidence: A recent episode of [...]

Since I insist on sharing funny/strange emails I receive with you guys, I couldn’t resist sharing this one. As always, names have been removed to protect the innocent and once again, my thoughts as I read the email are in blue.

Working on a Local Consulting Engagement

Montreal’s Beautiful SkylineI’m about to start week 2 at my new client here in Montreal. The first week was surprisingly busy and I have a feeling this is going to be a good project for me. I’m finally going to be doing actual SAP work, so I’m looking forward to it. This will also be [...]

Boreout – The New Office Disease

Proper Napping Position from Worst Case ScenariosIf you haven’t heard the term Boreout before, the best article I could find describing the topic is this one: Forget burnout, Boreout is the new office disease
Boreout works like this: a boss refuses to delegate work, frustrated underlings ask for more to do but are trusted [...]
