Howdy Reader! If you read that you might be thinking: "Wait, what?!" That's fair. It may not be your superpower, depending on where you are with your after-work 5-to-9. Right now, my job is definitely my superpower. It enables me to work on my 5-to-9 with a position of strength. Even with all of the little annoying things. Even with a shutdown looming. It's there, providing a mostly worry-free source of income. Many creators have been able to quit their 9-to-5 jobs with their creative efforts.

I had a lot of things to get together to sign up for it. It took the better part of an hour because I hadn't organized things well. I still may not have everything I need, and will need to call the IRS to get a document. Disorganization costs time, and money. (I wrote about this quite a while ago...
Howdy Reader! I had a choice of activities today. One was a picnic with my colleagues. The other was a once-a-year art and wine festival that my wife and I have attended several years in a row. It was unfortunate scheduling, but I had to choose. What won out was who I'd see there. I spend a quarter of my week with my colleagues. Most of the interactions aren't friendship, really.
