There is so much wrong with this article on The Simple Dollar. Things to consider when working out your babysitter pay.

This is silly. She was a full time employee paid with benefits and hourly wages average out expected effort.

Counter argument: the skill set to work in a mortuary is so minimal that it demands only a $17/hr wage. In Central Indiana.

Chewing gum works pretty good. Only problem is getting it out of your ears afterwards.

Maybe women don’t actually like STEM as often as they prefer something else? I mean... we make an observation, then we immediately start blaming everyone and every thing except the actual women who are choosing not to go into the field? Maybe they are to blame?

Wow, Heathrow is my least favorite airport; the four times I’ve connected through it were ALL horrible experiences (although I’ll admit, it’s been a few years). Things were dirty, badly lit, uncomfortable, and the people weren’t particularly courteous.
Hopefully my experiences are the exception.

if you have a spare hard drive sitting around that you don’t want to throw away but don’t mind taking apart, they have some very powerful magnets inside. if you pull them apart, they make nice temporary magnatizers for screwdrivers and also work as good stud finders. i have one in my toolbox with a shoelace attached…

That and maybe use a consistent, not-4th-grade-book-report font.

Thank you for that, you can also use the following pre-installed tool:

If you fail that test, you are better off. Nobody should intentionally work for a scumbag company that pulls grade school tricks like that. Anyone that pulls things like that is untrustworthy, and do you want to work for a company that is lying to you right off the bat?

How incredibly douche-tastic of these guys. Why would I throw away someone else's disposable cup ever, but especially at an interview? I have no idea if that person is finished using said cup - I for one find it more responsible to use the same cup all day. Playing tricks on your interviewees seems childish and…

Whoa, buddy, no need to dump a pint of oil into the teflon pan (**!!!**) for each pancake! A few drops will suffice. I rip a tiny strip of paper towel (extra absorbent brand) and soak it in a little bit of oil at the bottom of a bowl. Then I pick it up with a spatula and smear the bottom of the pan relatively evenly.…

Perhaps it's just me, but I've never understood the mentality here. I understand that it's a way of saying "thanks" for a year-long business relationship, but I don't see much point in giving the newspaper delivery person or mail person a monetary tip. They're already getting paid to do their job, and they don't…

I expect this is all excellent advice, but it's exactly the sort of thing that made me so unhappy as a corporate employee.

Ugh...I HATE office holiday parties, and I avoid them if at all possible.

Whitson's got you covered with tons more tips on terminal commands

Everyone stop talking to your phones. You look and sound like assholes.

As an employee of a major retailer, which sells tons of PNY products, I would suggest putting a big "Caveat Emptor" sign on this article.
