The Ending is Always Subjective
I’ve had a lot of jobs in my time, 14 and 9 months is probably not the most ideal time to start a job. On one hand it creates independence, and gives you the financial freedom to waste your money on whatever you want. Whether it be drugs, general consumerism or the massive phone bills from all the data you were using. On the other hand, it gets you used to the idea that your money is all your own to spend as you please. This makes it quite difficult later on when you have genuine expenses related to keeping yourself fed, clothed and sheltered. It creates genuine resentment over having to pay for things like toilet paper when you have spent 10 blissful years spending your money on drugs and concert tickets while someone else took financial responsibility for the boring stuff.

Technology companies facing more pressure to share location data with gov.to fight covid-19.
By now most Americans have gotten the message that, as much as possible, they need to stay away from everyone else. In San Francisco and a growing number of other cities around the world, all non-essential travel has been banned. Even in cases where life more closely resembles normalcy, the government has encouraged social distancing. And if anyone in your life isn’t yet under self-quarantine, sending them this brutal essay by Jeff Wise ought to do the trick. It’s a plausible account of how you might contract COVID-19 even while doing your best to wash your hands and minimize social contacts; the prose is so sharp and severe that I almost found it cruel.

How Can You Define Your Market Audience?
When you are coming up with a marketing strategy, it is important for you to define your market audience. As a business leader, your goal might be to attract as many customers as possible; however, if you spend your time trying to speak to everyone, you are going to come up with gross generalizations that are going to fall flat with your potential customers.

The Survey
When your life goes to the shit in a big dramatic way, its normal to spend many sleepless nights and anxious days trying to pinpoint where it all went wrong. Despite being an extraordinary boy, I am also an ordinary boy, thus not immune to introspective moments in the aftermath of my surprisingly frequent life implosions. After everything went to hell in a hand basket at KRONOS, I needed answers. In an attempt to understand what had happened, and to get a bigger picture perspective, I decided to survey former co-workers.

The Bullshit of KRONOS
The bullshit of KRONOS is extensive and all-encompassing. They micro-manage every aspect of the job to the North degree not allowing for any deviation, no matter the circumstance. When taking blood, there are different tubes for different tests. Each tube has a particular additive inside, and which tube is used depends on the tests required. The majority of tests are done on serum. Serum tests are done using a gel tube which has a yellow top and a gel serum on the bottom of the tube. The gel is silicon and it basically looks like clear glue. When you centrifuge this gel, or spin it really fast like a merry go round on acid, it separates the red cells from the serum. Imagine a clear tube like a hose, around 10cm long. On top you would have an apple juice like liquid, then you would have about half a centimetre of clear gel serum, then bright red blood cells. That’s what a gel tube looks like after centrifuging. Now the main feature of these tubes is whether they have a clotting agent or a non-clotting agent. Some testing requires your blood to clot. Blood left to its own devices, naturally clots. Medications like warfarin impair clotting, so if a person on warfarin is stabbed, they are going to bleed like a stuck pig, while a person not on anti-coagulants will bleed like a pig with a paper-cut. Citrate tubes have a chemical that halts clotting, this allows the lab to test the bodies clotting ability. It is used to test anti-coagulant levels and to look for clotting disorders such as Von Willebrand’s. Other additives, such as EDTA, which prevent clotting, are added to other tubes to allow for separate testing. Now this is where the story gets interesting, this is where the micro-management gets ridiculous.

Toronto Is A Ghost Town
The atmosphere is positively unnerving. The bustling city of Toronto has turned into a ghost town. When I came to work this morning (I’m not one of the lucky ones who can work from home), I checked my phone to see if I perhaps had made a mistake and it was 7:00 a.m. instead of 8:00 a.m. It was indeed shortly before 8:00 a.m., but where were the cars, where were the people?
