Not religious and not really spiritual at all to be honest. The closest thing to "spiritual" that I do is walking slowly. Years ago one day I noticed I had the habit of walking very quickly everywhere I went and that this was po

Similar age and circumstance but not in the USA. The saddest part for me is the companies that just throw you a take-home exercise without even bothering to phone you first. You apply to a certain position and then, say a week later -or som

I'd guess that the "don't expect any security" comment above meant exactly that. Not that you should forgo security , but that you should expect this to provide no security at all . Some other comments mention browsing
