Quite a few. I've been a full time self employed consultant for 3 years now. Yes, I'm being cute -- but the distinction between customers and recruiters who trick me into answering the phone by spoofing my area code is irrelevant

The most important thing a class will teach you is a critical eye for weld quality. An oft repeated standard for pro-welders is that when your work piece is stressed to failure, it fails someplace different than where you weldeded it - the

I mentioned Poe's Law because you took for granted everyone who responded to me, responded in earnest. I took their responses as sarcastic. Poe's Law. You think my condolences were insincere, I'm asserting that they were not.

Yikes! I get that you don't believe me, but I sincerely was trying to be respectful of your opinion and your grief. I've had quite a lot of death in my family, so I empathize with the grief people experience during similar times.

Please accept my sincerest condolences for the death of your family member. In some ways I followed a similar path to that of your relative, in part because I often obtain validation by publicly satirizing elements of society I think are wr

You're accusing me of engaging in diatribe? Audacious! Google has 88,000 employees. I don't know what their definition is for "All Hands", but it's probably a lot of people. I think there's a saying about this.

Alright the interest has motivated me. I'll start posting episodically on joshleap.com as I jazz it up. Since I don't have a comment system people can give me stuff or validate my ego by email, it's a puzzle in my profile.
