parylose··on The money, job, marriage myth: are you happy yet?
That reminds me of a Billy Joel (singer) interview. He said he was always asked if he was happy now and he stressed out when he couldn't answer yes. He ended up pursuing happiness at high cost. He eventually realized just because he wasn't happy didn't mean he was sad. Happiness and sadness are extremes. Most of the time you just are. He learned to just be and appreciate the happy times.
parylose··on The end of India’s ‘IT miracle’?
The problem is they have to give three month's notice when quitting a job. When other companies or headhunters learn that you gave notice, they do their best to hire you away from whatever new job you took.

Our HR Department now calls new-hires every couple of days to keep them engaged so they don't take a job elsewhere. It sucks when you hire someone, plan things three months in advance, and.... they don't show up to the job without ever telling you they took a job somewhere else.

parylose··on Civilization 6 is coming in October, with big changes
I loved Call to Power II and Ages of Man

But I can't play those any more because I'm addicted to hex maps now. And pie menus. I hope Civ 6 has pie menus.
