A job interview is a two-way street; as much as the company is seeing if they want to work with you, you're also deciding if you want to work for them. Unfortunately, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved with the traditional interview process. It's a performative experience in which both parties are attempting to seem desirable, neutral, and natural — revealing just enough without giving too much away. Most of us, who have been working for an appropriate length of time, have come across…

Karen clearly forgot what the Bible says about stealing...

It happens all too often in your life that you run into stupid obstacles created by obstinate individuals who, for some reason or another have managed to lodge themselves in a position of power.

The beauty of living in your own space is that you can do whatever the hell you want. Well, within legal, ethical, and various social confines, that is.

Say what you like about good ol' Sméagol: at least the guy's got dedication and staying power —that's certainly more than a lot us can say.

Honestly, this is an excellent portfolio of un-alive body experience.

A very pleasant yee-haw to my rootin' tootin' meme lords.

Watching other people's pickup lines will never stop being entertaining

If this isn't an accurate account of remote work, I don't know what is.
