Whenever I feel that the advice and support of a well meaning friend is too much, I stop and ask myself the following questions...
What if it turned out I were getting the best advice by people who actually care about me? Could I forgive them for sometimes sounding me when they are only preparing me for real life?
If we walked around with our butts hurt over the rudeness of others, then this would be a miserable existence.
Well meaning people are only trying to cut through the passiveness that a person demonstrates in order please parents and teachers.
That kind of stuff will not get you hired to work. Even when you get a job, you shall have to persevere to keep it.
In the real world, work consists of a lot of drudgery and little accolades. Nobody cares about you until they actually need you for a brief moment.
So I am quiet about accomplishments like being about to enjoy the bitter cold because I am not standing around thinking it's cold.
Instead I am walking around to keep warm, putting up with rich people. By trying to do my job, rather than be a people person with a crowd that is moderately dysfunctional, I am thankful to know that Western society values individualism yet provides rules to make society function, often at odds with each citizen's right to be free.
However, you might get lucky and get a cushy job that pays well -- but requires less time on the computer and surfing the Internet.
Your priorities shall change. Adult life is fun only if you desire to fit in. That means you have to be a team player, and not be a mere observer of life. For you too can live the well lived life.
I mean well by writing this unasked advice. Yet life is not supposed to be easy.
So deal with it.

Scheduling The Four-Day Work Week
I hit escape & lost my train of thought!
GDF his early-onset Alzheimer's! Even today I had problems filling out a time sheet.
As for my memory, it was totally losing short-term mainly because when one is chronically fatigued, the brain shuts down unnecessary parts to the point where you have to fight off sleep.
(Mentally inhales more useless facts in brain)
High blood sugar definitely leads to lack of tolerance to insomnia. Thus insulin & insomnia may be related in inverse proportion to each other.
High insulin levels should result in insomnia, while low blood sugar in the blood stream lead to the wakeful hyper-vigilant as in fasting.
In actual fact, this is untrue. It is a moderate blood sugar level leads to less insomnia and better quality of sleep.
If you wish to benefit from dropping down to deep sleep, then try a 36-12 sleep wake cycle like our ancestor did during our species' prehistory.
For men and women with such a sleep schedule had a big advantage over humanoids who stuck to 8 hours of sleep, but slowly starved to death since their smarter co-descendants "stole" all their food.
It also appears that the First Nations people may have used a slash and burn method of agriculture which led later to famine and massive migration.
Indeed, that could have been what brought First Nations people to the Americas. As they slashed and burned across Eurasia (Central Asia), they left behind ecological devastation in their wake.
It is most likely that Homo sapiens neanderthalii slept their way to extinction, which their genomes to be added to the sapiens sapiens humanoid who are our direct ancestors.
IMO it probably was a short sleep period during rest which cause neanderthals to die out.
Quite possibly, the reason elderly people get insomnia is because both the pancreas and mild obesity worked together to cause hypoglycemia complete with anxiety (and depression when one crashes after being up 36 hours.
Consequently, it would be beneficial to go to bed at 8 PM the following day if one has been awake at or about 8 AM the previous day.
I.e. If one got up at 7:30 AM, then it's best to go to bed at 7:30 PM the following day.
This gives the individual an advantage over people who sleep eight hours a night; i.e. 36 hours of Go time versus 16 for the average person, and 12 hours of no-Go time versus 8 hours.
In four days, the fellow on a 36 hours on Go followed by 12 hours on no-Go will have amassed 40 more hours of productivity than the average person does.
That time is equivalent to a full-time work week in just 4 days!
What about the other 3 days? Well, rest and recreation to relax the body.
I wish for a job with those kinds of hours!!!

BC social Development Invites Select PWD Clients to Participate in AEEE Trial
For clients who have to report income as a person with disabilities (PWD),the BC Ministry of Social Development (MSD) has a written invitation for those clients who qualify for the Annualized earning exemptions (AEE) during the trial phase for 2013.
This invitation to participate is optional.
This means that the seasonal monthly income is deducted from the annual limit, which for a single person is $9600.
Once maximum annual income reaches $9600, income may be cut off for the year. if it surpasses the amount of income assistance.
In addition, MSD will include a statement with each monthly stub showing how much is remaining on the AEE.
This certainly then is incentive to report income and helps PWD clients who have seasonal, on-call employment.
Thus, a client meets the criteria for the Phase 1 invitation if s/he|they
However,AEE is not open to all disability assistance clients until January 2014.
because British Columbia is one of the first places in Canada offering the AEE option and anticipating that new exemption option to be complicated, AEE will be introduced in phases.
This is because of the extra paperwork including printing out the AEE balance remaining.
By offering through open invitation to clients on PWD who meet the above criteria in Phase 1, the ministry will monitor the program and make necessary changes before implementing Phase 2, which involves opening the program to all clients on disability assistance in January 2014.
During Phase 1, invited clients who opt to participate may get to give feedback regarding the exemption changes.
Overall though, this benefits clients on disability assistance whose work is seasonal.

- In at least one of the past 12 months, had earnings over $500 for families with one adult with a PWD designation and $750 for families where both adults have PWD designations.

How to Solve the Panhandler Problem
I suggest panhandlers should be licensed.
If they are making money, then they are running a business.
They should be placed in the panhandler guild, and have their GST checks confiscated to pay for the guild program.
Their first license could be $10, and their locations rented from the city for $10/month.
If there are 5000 panhandlers in Toronto, then this means $1.17 million to fund the panhandlers guild by civil servants including instructions on how to be a legitimate panhandler.
The $50000 for licenses could fund the homeless shelters, and so could the $600000 for location rentals.
In total $1.82 million in revenue could be generated to fund this growing industry.
Everything else should be exempted from taxation as members of the panhandlers guild are charity cases.
