CAREER + MONEY THINGS

What would you do if you retired? I have a post that’s a variation on this theme somewhere here in my brain that should be written down.

If you don’t have money to pay fines in Alabama, this judge would force you to give blood.

Jessica Pearson is an awesome boss because she’s played by Gina Torres, duh.

FUN THINGS

I don’t tend to like celebrities. As a group, they’re so far removed from my day-to-day I don’t see how I could possibly form any accurate opinion on the real them so I just don’t. That said, I do find myself nodding at Daniel Craig in this interview. It’s a job well done, sir, when I want to quote the whole thing. Forcing myself to pick just these:

My own role models are people who have a moral compass. People who have the courage of their convictions: great journalists, writers, artists … You know, one of the greatest problems we face today is people’s self-awareness. It’s all about “Who am I?” instead of “What am I doing?”

…

Don’t confuse role models with heroes. My heroes are very personal to me. Both my grandfathers fought in the Second World War—one was in Germany, the other with the Royal Air Force in Siberia. But let’s not harp on about that. They hated talking about what was a terrible time. We should respect that.

…

Speaking of women, many men admire Bond for his way with the ladies …

But let’s not forget that he’s actually a misogynist.
