Yes. It is true. Here's what happened. I have been following The 3Six5 Project almost since it began. The concept is essentially this -  Every day for 365 days, a different person will write an entry about their experiences that day.  Recently the editors of this site announced that they are closing it down at the end of this year.

Its a little tiresome to be in this position. Exclusivity isn't always good, I think to myself. I got an email related to some work that I have been wanting to take up and I'm very pleased about it. ...

I've compiled some PLOW for the benefit for all those bright-eyed, bushy-tailed youngsters (NO, I'm not old. I'm   mature   and   wise , OK?!) who can't wait to jump into the whirlpool called "Work" Freaky Friday Law : On Fridays you have the most work and the weather outside is magnificent and you are cooped up in office thus preventing you from enjoying it. If you don’t have much work, the weather is oppressive and you just don’t want to go out and you   have   to, for some office work. When It Rains, It Pours Law: This one is simple.   When you have work, you have a humongous amount of it and you feel you'd give ANYthing for having none. But, when you don't have work, there's absolutely none. So much so that you actively create some for yourself out of sheer boredom (and the need to look busy when the higher-ups come strolling by !) You Can't Beat Boss Law: This is an old and unbeatable one actually.   When y...
