What the problem of job is that...
You have to proceed, but your boss just draws you a circle.
You'd like to color your life, but your boss stick you to repetitious part.
Unsubscribe half the feeds in Reader
Last month I increased subscriptions from 53 feeds to 106, all of them are my job&interests related. Ever since the feeds increased, I never read an article once through, "mark all as read" became most frequently used function. More news filled in my eyes, but less information was accepted.
So last night, I spent one hour to reduce feeds to 56, unsubscribe from those keep silence since two months ago, and those talk about things make-nonsense. I also optimized folders and labels: the frequently updating feeds were moved to Quick News folder, IT blogs were grouped into two languages - Chinese and English. Stars' blog were listed in Friends folder now, because I read them as friends~
I have time and patience to read through nice articles now, and I have another finding: there are some news sources that you'd better visit directly websites rather than subscribing, because you don't want lots of ads with articles' summary in Reader. Sites like Netvibes is definitely a nice assistant for this.

Think it over
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrow points of view.
We spend more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses, but smaller families.
We have more compromises, but less time.
We have more knowledge, but less judgment.
We have more medicines, but less health.
We have multiplied out possessions, but reduced out values.
We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much.
We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors.
We have conquered the utter space, but not our inner space.
We have higher income, but less morals.
We have much more food, but less nutrition.
These are times with more liberty, but less joy.
These are days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase.
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.
That's why I propose, that as of today.
You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs.
Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love.
Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment, not about survival.
Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it.
Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" or "someday".
Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"!
Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them.
Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.
Every day, every hour, and every minute is special.
And you don't know if it will be your last.

Chandler's Job
There is nothing creative but weekly repetitious work.
And no one knows what I'm doing!
