A Psychological Quiz

I received this from an email list.  An Internet rumor debunking site says it’s completely false.  On the other hand, if it’s correct, then I will learn something very interesting about my friends, so I figure it’s worth trying.

When not to use Auto Reply

A while ago, I was looking for a new Web editor.  Many people sent in resumes.  I sent a reply to each applicant, thanking them for applying and letting them know their status. I got back this from one applicant.... be sure to note where he was applying from.

Things I’ve been meaning to write, but I haven’t actually done so.  Not particularly deep things, they are, but they do take up precious brain space needed for, OK, I don’t really remember what.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
