We relocate fairly often. Everytime we pack we realize how much junk we forgot we own and get rid of some.

Utorrent fan here: how does this beta stack up against the lastest build of Transmission? I heard the alpha version was not worth downloading; wonder about this one.

@gor62: Our company had a policy: you can enter and leave the room anytime so long you do it in a quiet manner and you are not a presenter.

@battra92: What an a-hole.

I think a new term has been coined.

I don't google candidates as often as I used to. We only stumbled upon boring personal stuff. There was only that one time we came across a candidate we had strong reasons to believe was an active supremacist.

I just moved back after being in India for three years. Of all places, I cannot stress enough how well this technique works in airline/hotel/help desk/etc. counters.

My sister-in-law is the perfect candidate for this scheme: she burns her whole paycheck month after month. I for my part have never had to do this; I've always saved 10 to 50% of my income.

Be careful of what you wish for: I used to envy those that telecommute... til my boss started to do it. I remember our daily conference call like this "so, regarding that status report......ANDRECITO!!!! PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN!!!... I'm sorry, go on, you were saying...".

I'm skeptical. Aren't microwave ovens supposed to have an exhaust to remove all steam buildups while in use?
