I'd harden your mind a little bit. You're not some lowly supplicant "asking" for x, y or z. You are a skilled professional (hopefully). You REQUIRE or DEMAND rates that befit your skill. If you go into a negotiation wi

I've been of the opinion that shows of that nature are a pretty transparent attempt at gas lighting the populous into feeling as though such behaviors and practices are acceptable, desirable & necessary. I'll go polish my tinf

They exist, believe me, I know a few, and it's pretty terrifying. Law-enforcement is basically backing their paranoia and confirming their biases on the daily. It sucks, but there's little that non-terrified people can do, without

Uber for kids is a fantastic idea (I mean really fantastic, as in, I fantasize about it regularly, usually while driving my kids back and forth). I suspect the liability & trust problems would be insurmountable though. I'd pay up i

In a rare fit of sensibility, Minneapolis public schools stopped bussing highschool kids around. They now get free city bus passes, and our roads aren't (as) clogged as they were with giant yellow kindertransports full of young adults.
