And not for the reason you might suspect. It’s just an annual reminder of how I wasted a career doing this crap and never really built my life’s work into anything meaningful. I met some of the worst people and worked for from some of the meanest, cruelest bosses imaginable. I know that most of this was due to my inability to read people and I ended up at places like Mellon Bank and Arthur Anderson. Nothing I can do about it now, but this time of year really hurts. (I couldn’t find an image of a jackass, so I settled for this monkey.)
