4 Day Work Weeks? Go to Utah

Welcome to Utah

I have heard some people toying around with the idea on cutting down the number of days worked in order to try and save energy, although I didn’t ever think people would do it.

Starting next month, in Utah, many GOVERNMENT positions will move to a four day work week (Monday - Thursday). It will be part of a year long experiment.

However, everything comes with a price. Although they will be working less days, now they must work 10 hrs/day rather then 8.

Supposedly the proposed plan will save $3 million per year out of the the state’s $11 billion budget. Seems like a lot of change that needs to be done for such a small portion of the budget back.

Public transportation schedules will have to be adjusted, while still satisfy those with the normal routine. Parents will have to restructure day care plans. Also change is always expensive. No matter what it is.

Time to Celebrate and Rejoice

If you are like me, then you are probably already sick of the whole oil dilemma.

In order to get your mind off the whole situation through this nice long holiday, I thought I would post links to some of the best articles in the first month of this site’s launch (Sept 07).

It feels like looking at baby pictures of yourself in the family photo album. Enjoy!

The Run Down:

Get Rich Off Alcoholics - My first real post on the site. Till this day, I still think it is one of the best. Hey if people want to keep drinking, then why not making money off them.

Black List - SNE

The black list is comprised of stocks, companies, or anything I highly DO NOT recommend you getting close to.

SNE

Everyday it seems like some new technological advancement is being made. It makes us wonder what we were doing in the past? With evolution comes the inability for some companies to stay ahead of the curve. Hello Sony (SNE).

For those that don’t know, I love playing video games and been playing it for most of my life. Just like any type of sector there is always some form of competition, with one company usually out-pacing the others. Nintendo (making a come back) and Sega ran the early days of gaming; however, eventually Sony captured the hearts of many.

Back when Sony launched the Playstation in 1999, it marked the evolution of a completely different type of gaming system. They were single handily knocking out all other competitors. The games were fast and revolutionary in what could be done with them.

Time to Stop and Refocus

I like to take pride in my organizational skills; however, even the best can falter at times. Lately I have found myself in a state of uncertainty. Let me explain.

Over the past couple of weeks I have taken on many different projects and there is still time left before they can be considered “finished.” The problem is that I haven’t drawn out how things will get done. I say yes to this, this, and that, but I never actually pause to wonder how will it get done? Bring in the uncertainty.

My mind has been cluttered with so many different ideas, that it is having trouble processing what to do first. This is definitely a symptom of horrible planning.
