It’s Wednesday. Are you thinking about work, or fishing?

August 6th, 2008

Morning Cutbow For the highly productive worker, obviously concentrating on the latter…

  • Fly tying your life away, and breaking the bank while doing it - Singlebarbed explains it in one “desperate” pictorial. I knew there was a reason I bought my flies.
  • Marshall Estes has been prowling the South Platte, and putting them in the net. I applaud his choice of waters.
  • The Fly Fish Chick was back in Montana, and the fishing was good. I’m pissed…because she’s much more photogenic than I.
  • Speaking of Montana, the fly-throwing carp master by the same name got skunked last weekend. He doesn’t really care - the kids were still cute when he got home.
  • And while we’re on the subject of kids…Jeffrey Prest found a great tool for teaching them how to fish.

    • Now I’ll say it again…get back to work.

    PS: If you get busted reading this, just tell your boss corporate fly fishing still sucks!

    A new way to work

    June 8th, 2006

    Cato Unbound gets Richard Florida talking about the future of the American workforce in the new age of creativity.

    Call it what you like, but there are risks to going it alone. Like, working in a one-person office, working 24/7, and working on too many different things at once (the grand attempt at throwing a pile of stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks - something those ADD-laden creative types tend to go for quite often).

    Then there is not having any creative capacity to begin with, but simply thinking you do - like me ;-)

    But, never feel sorry for any of them. Despite all these risks, they only have to be right once to make it all seem worthwhile.
