I had several places ask me if I'd do contract to hire. I said then yes, I'll do it for a set period of time at $250/hr, and it can't be canceled by either party until fruition. To my surprise, they didn't like that

IT contractors or contract-to-hire is likely dead as well. And good fucking riddance. I contract out work from my company. You know what I don't require? Them to come and work at my office from "core hours". I don't have

Well you have to offset treating your employees like shit. Be a billionaire, then you don't have to worry about your work-life balance.

I worked at a few clients in SF, CA a couple years ago. As a consultant 40 hours was the minimum. It was also my maximum. I'd get to the jobsite at 6-7am (avoiding traffic/crowded trains/buses). I'd go to lunch at 11am a

I transferred my domains off web.com after continually being forced to call to get anything done. They started sending me spam trying to trick me to switching back. Terrible company. They are register.com FYI.

I'm with you 100%. I've had 7 failed startups (well, not failed but didn't make me enough to buy a jet). It's easy to know when to get out when you're making nothing. It's easy to stay with it when you're

Buy a used Mac Mini. They haven't been updated in like 5.5 years at this point. You can just remote into it. Or just build a hackintosh.

I still run a T61p (bedroom), T420, and T430. I keep wanting a new one but they're all plugging along just fine. On the T420 right now. I even bust out my T42p from time to time when I want to play old 4:3 games. My X200 is my media ce

The company was a hard sell for me to even take the job in the first place. The owner is a piece of shit human being. Once I saw the inside, it's likely even illegal what they're doing. So no, I didn't jump. I had to be persu

I took over as IT Director at a company with a small team. Everyone would take their issues to the developer all day long, interrupting his day constantly. So every new "fire" because the latest task. Not surprisingly the hacked t

Good luck, my partner (startup) is a felon. I've known him for 12+ years. Youthful mistakes have followed him longer than he was alive when he got his felony. Don't be discouraged and keep at it. My state (Oklahoma) removed asking

Well being an Okie, I had plenty of cars already. I put less than 1k miles on my truck in the 3 or so years I lived in the area. I really enjoyed the hometown feel of Pacifica, the people were super nice too. And we used to go hiking almost

I lived in the city (SF) and outside the city. My commute to the Embarcardero wasn't too bad when I lived in Pacifica. Just drive over the hill to Colma, park and take BART. I'd read on the way into the city and walk to work. Prob

Your thinking from your perspective. I'm looking at kids that are glued to their phone 24/7. For me it's not necessarily the people, it's the upkeep of the theater, it's the over priced concessions, it's the no

I go out frequently. Going to a movie is not an enjoyable experience for multiple reasons. I'm glad you decided to go full hyperbole though in your comment, great contribution.

Fuck you US Government is more like it. Oh, and the assholes that vote these idiots into office over and over again. I don't care if it's Pelosi/Boxer or Inhofe/Cruz, they all are pieces of shit.

I gave up on theaters well over a decade ago. To me theaters are like Malls vs the Internet. Your time is coming, quickly.

Because your taxes are your duty. In the US, if you don't file for a year and are owed, after the filing period they do pay interest. But not for the initial filing year. In fact, if you over pay too much, they (the IRS) can penalize y

You seem to be taking this personally. It's quite funny.

I love it. It's just like all these MLM (Pyramid schemes) that have been reborn. I guess every generation has to relearn the lessons of the prior generations the hard way. Comparing a nation's fiat to bitcoin is hilarious. Here&#x

Or you can actually provide a service/product people will pay for. It's like this is confusing for you. Why would you ever hire employees when you can't pay them? I love the internet sometimes.

Why wouldn't your first check be to yourself? I guess I'm well rounded so that doesn't really apply to me. I hire for roles that consume my time but still provide value (the necessary busy work). I'm a much worse employe

Work for yourself. That's the answer. One job means you get fired and you're looking for a new boss. 10 clients means if one fires you, you still have 9 you're hopefully keeping happy. I try to follow what I read about Gates

I'm glad someone likes it. I'm a Herman Miller fan, my dad's Eames Lounge Chair from the 70s got murdered in a tornado (so sad). It makes me sad that they're so uncomfortable because I love the look (the Cobalt Blue from

SO was great 8 or so years ago. Now it's mostly "you're doing it wrong" answers as the top shit I see when I search on google. Wading through that nonsense takes longer than finding and implementing a helpful solution. S
