I have recently become very interested in what a person's app selection says about them personally. In the spirit of full disclosure I will now outline what I think my app selection for my iPhone says about me:
Food-
Starbucks
McDonalds
Conclusion- Caffeine fueled, fast food junkie, or just merely a parent who travels and needs to know where to go to satisfy the "little one"
Gadgets-
FaceTime (included on the phone and turns out to be a great tool)
Maps
My Cast Weather
Facebook (not by my choice but..... I had to)
UberSocial (twitter app)
LinkedIn
DC Metro
DUAT
Priceline
iHandy Level (you figure that one out)
GIST- bandwidth tool
AOPA Airports (airport directory)
Conclusion- Flying Geek who travels a lot
Mixed bag
Bank account access
Verizon Account Access
efax
Priceline
expedia
Marriott
University applications
Conclusion- Parent that travels a lot

Anniversary
I have celebrated many anniversaries in the past but clearly I will not be celebrating this one.
I have worked with a small business for just over 10 years, mostly for free, with the expectation that I would have access to its resources for which I am licensed to have. I have done this at no expense to the organization and in fact have taken a loss nearly every year for my efforts.
I was happy to do this with the understanding that I could bring in new business and help them solve issues when they arose. Very recently I was removed from the roles as a leader in the organization having pre-dated the current ownership and most of the current staff.
So why be upset by this? Quite simply, they removed me without telling me why. Realizing that I am not as accessible as I used to be given that I work full time outside of what any normal human being would consider a reasonable distance from home. That said, I am not out of touch or unreachable by any measure and would still try my best to be helpful. Instead, the situation turned contentious unnecessarily.
Maybe the best advice is to "get over it" but this one really hurts. Maybe it is "not personal, just business" but I do not subscribe to that theory at all. Never have.
