(Steve continues his dream-destroying exploration of why “Do What You Love” doesn’t address the darker truths of careers. Dive in for more sarcasm, dark insights, and asking how we can overcome these challenges)

Steve’s Update 9/15/2014

by

Not too much here today.  I got sick last week and it really held me back.  Just a long, plodding illness that wasn’t horrible but was draining.  Seems a lot of stuff is going around.

I’ve updated my speaking and coaching sections, and am gearing up for some conventions in the next few weeks. If you’re in the Bay Area, do check out where I’m speaking.

Sadly I’ve not updated the Geek Catalog at MuseHack this week – I got ill and things got on top of me.

I am considering some new generators for Seventh Sanctum, though I’m a bit out from putting them up.

That’s it for me.  You?
