Meh. From personal experience, taking motor transport makes me throw up if I'm at all sick, but I'm otherwise usually fine. If my choice is "do nothing, or spend 90 minutes commuting to and from work" then I'll do n

He is saying he can just as well work from home as not work from home, not suggesting that he goes into work.

Half of this article focuses on the tautological notion that since the term ghost train is a made up one with no meaning that nobody in the railways recognises, then it must be about a hidden thing that nobody knows about, and you can tell

Their boss wants them not to stop working but (I imagine) could not care less if they cry or smile as they work. Do you agree it would be harder for them if they were required to smile and make small talk as they worked? If you want another

What citizenship/right to work in various countries do you have? Is your degree in computer science or software engineering? I think the US will require that you have a relevant degree in the field, or years of experience - I don'

So how did you get to the point of writing a book on topics you didn't know about? I always thought the process was more like "well, I know this shit backwards in my sleep, I should write a book!"

Well, it is pretty common to see the married woman case handled as "Sophie Wilson (née MaidenName)" in biographical material.
