As a middle aged man wandering around with a large e-cigarette around my neck on a cord I know I look like an idiot. I'm okay with that though since that large e-cigarette cost me $30 and tends to get broken if you keep it in your pock

How about smaller Mom and Pop style retail. I'm picturing the scenario where you're waiting for the sale rep to get free to ring you up and poking around the store in the meantime. Can we generate a heat map for the sales guy so h

I think getting drunk prior to going for an interview is an obvious no-hire. It shows piss poor judgement. On the other hand, if you're looking to work at an employer that doesn't mind how much alcohol is in your bloodstream while

I was in a similar situation, except that I saw the need to get a degree so I could get past the HR checklist. I was able to do it in four years while working full time and managed to leave college with a whopping $1500 in debt. I think it

As a native hoi toid speaker I can confirm that we exist, and in numbers greater than 5000. I'd guess at least 20,000. The accent doesn't magically disappear once you get off Ocracoke. Quite a few of us woodsers grew up with it (GGFather mi

Knoxville, TN. Granted, if you've only been programming for five years you're probably going to only be looking at 80K if you're good (50-60 if you're merely okay). But 100-120 with ten years experience is in the range of what I've seen loc

Sorry, but you can give a car to anyone. You're not responsible for making sure they are a licensed driver, or that the car is registered. That's the recipient's problem, and as long as they aren't driving the car it's perfectly legal for t

Not to sound like a gun nut, although in some more liberal areas of the country I might qualify as one, how do you propose protecting the other amendments without the right to keep and bear arms? Whether the gun control legislation possibly

I don't charge every billable hour simply because I'm not willing to take on the cognitive overhead to keep track of everything. I do however charge for any phone stuff that takes more than 15 minutes, which is the amount of time it usually

Yes, which is why I bill the hourly rate I do and the customer is happy to pay it. I realize that some people bill by spec, but I personally don't like the overhead that gives to me and I'm quite happy with what billing by the hour brings i

Wait. There are people who don't bill for meetings? I understand not charging for the initial meeting where we figure out if we're going to be able to work together, but after that if I'm in a meeting with the customer then it's billable. T

Thank you. I can only imagine what the eventual reaction from the network admins might have been. Generally they're pretty forgiving, but I imagine child porn probably crosses a line.
