You forgot 1 spoon to fling croutons at someone when they’re not looking.

My favorite story in this vein was from a CFO who was part therapy group I was in. His then CEO had asked him durning a meeting to do something ethically dubious at best, criminal at worst. He said no in no uncertain terms. After the meeting the CEO steps into his office to ask him again and the CFO picked up his coffee mug and threw it across the room at the wall near the CEOs head. It never came up again.

4 spoons for the meeting, 1 spoon for the mug.

This man also gave me a quote that I still ponder today, “You cannot invest your soul in compromise.” I have interpreted and reinterpreted it through many phases of my life. It is both simple and very complex at the same time.

Yes. Yes. The corporation is never wrong.

Sucks to be you.

You are going to freak out when you load up Kickstarter for the first time.

My wife and I use spoon theory. Sometimes one of us says "Sorry hon, I just don't have the spoons." And it is always respected.

“But you have to wait for it to get good.”

No. No I don’t. Write better.

Tick is great:

“Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit!”
