@Graviton1066: and again... useful. It has helped my blog grow in readership each month.

@lewis82: and of the chips options, they aren't the most healthy like every overweight person at work thinks.

except for the emails that came in that you don't even know are missing.

I agree. The number one thing I hate is when people say they don't have money as they type away on their iphone. I didn't always have money... so I didn't buy shit I didn't need.

I don't think he is "heroic" but it make sense for facebook to see him as an asset. He clearly has skills and was able to figure out how parts of facebook works without being told. I'm sure he'll be valuable on the team.

@tylerbrainerd: You're right... we should all go work for our parent's businesses! Man, why don't more poor people do that?

@Paúl Mí Cócoff: Do you have a kid?

Yeah, I've never actually taken a new job for less money. In this case, I'm willing to take up to 20,000 off the posted salary, which is equal to my current salary at my current employer.

So relevant to me. My head hunter just sent in my resume to a job I think I will be great at, but I don't have the years of experience they want. I know I can do it.

I would just walk out saying I didn't want a job that would ask me such a question.

This is a great idea! I'm going to make these and put them in fun little tins to advertise my businesses. (It's food related which is why I would rather make than buy them)

I never thought of using flavored water to make my oatmeal. I'm gonna try this weekend.

Both of my parents worked full time and we still had meals cooked for us each night. We only went out on weekends as a treat.

If you are that concerned people aren't reading your email... maybe they don't really want to talk with you anyway.

I don't understand people's need to be overly cautious about everything. Just give them you damn zip code. News flash, that number isn't unique to you.

@Interstella5555: The only part of that strategy I don't get is this: If you are staying at an expensive place, you want to feel pampered. Like everything is a luxury that they provide. So to me, the should just jack up the room rate and include as much as possible.

@vicryixiv: True that. I didn't know about using a web browser for sevral years. Everything was "AOL Keword" this or that.

@WUSS: You really think you were the norm then? I'm gonna say your view is a little tainted. The majority of people I know didn't get online till 97-98.

Self check out is so last year. We have the scan as you go now. You carry a handheld with you, and scan and bag as you go. Then pay and walk out the store when you're done. So much better.
