Quitte the opposite. They themselves came forward about what happened, communicated clearly and took steps to mitigate the problem. From what I saw, they acted responsibly and it has only I erased my trust in them.
Re:Things I do to be consistently happy on Sunday August 19, 2012 @07:29PM (#4405612)
I have two issues with this advice. One is, it's incredibly robotic. The same routine every day, the same times doing the same things, the same route every evening. Basically he is creating boredom. I have no trouble believing that it makes the st of his life more interesting. Would I want to follow that? Hardly. Responding to my environment, doing unexpected things, improvisation, these are things that make me happy. I get bored doing the same thing twice, there is no way on earth I joule be able to robotically do the same freaking routine every day.

Second: this life advice clearly comes from someone without a family. I read some comments stating that his routine is conductive to a family friendly life style, and in theory it is. But young children do not care about theory. They have dreams, don't want to sleep yet, throw up, get sick and a million more things. Every one of which would ruin this guy's schedule. Also, he never goes out, a movie or dinner? There's never a concert in town? Friends and family to visit?

Seriously, it's advice from a person with no social contacts (IRL) who has discovered bliss by living like a monk. Thanks, but no thanks.

It would. Having pricing plans in place, to show you want to run an actual business would also help boost that confidence.

My biggest fear is I'll use it, and a few months later you're acquired by Facebook and then it's gone.
