The 17 Bottles Of project began with Urs and Sig and a bunch of other people in 1999. Unfortunately, the original, in a blue spiral notebook, has vanished. It was a fun project, though, so we're starting over. Hopefully this one will be a bit harder to misplace.
2011 UPDATE: Word on the streets is that the J.Mo. has located the notebook and has it in her possession. We'd love to see it some day...

Barbara Ehrenreich has a new book out about all the crap associated with "positive thinking," and how it's basically a big diversion from the fact that people are generally being screwed over.
I love Barbara Ehrenreich. Have you read the new book? And if so, is it good?
I haven't read it yet, but it looks good. I'll probably read it during my lunches at work so I don't have to buy it. Shh....
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Christians aren't the only ones who act happy by any means. They come at it from a slightly different angle because some of them feel that they need to be happy to show non-Christians how great it is to be Christian.
Society in general has a prescription for happiness, which is bogus. If you're a woman, being a wife and mother is supposed to make you happy. If you're a man, being a father and provider is supposed to make you happy. You're supposed to want to own a house and raise a family. The thing is though, I've never wanted any of that. It's possible I've just failed to grow up, but I want adventure.
I really want to get my hands on that book. Amanda talks about the HR culture, but I think this is an influence of the marketing culture.
